Some common causes of conflict in interpersonal relationships include differences in values or beliefs, miscommunication or misunderstandings, power struggles, and unmet needs or expectations. Other factors such as personality differences, stress, and past experiences can also contribute to conflict.

Resolving conflict in interpersonal relationships involves effective communication, active listening, and a willingness to compromise. It is important to approach the conflict with an open mind and a desire to understand the other person’s perspective. Seeking the help of a mediator or therapist can also be beneficial in resolving conflicts.

Some strategies for preventing conflict in interpersonal relationships include setting clear boundaries and expectations, practicing effective communication, expressing appreciation and gratitude, and being willing to apologize and forgive. It is also important to recognize and address issues as they arise rather than letting them escalate into larger conflicts.

Unresolved conflict in interpersonal relationships can lead to a breakdown in communication, a loss of trust and respect, and ultimately, the end of the relationship. It can also cause stress, anxiety, and other negative emotions that can impact overall well-being.
