Whether it's communication, relationships, or conflict, I
try to have a process view regarding each one.
I'm not someone that usually jumps to conclusions, but occasionally I
will if I see something or hear something that I believe is wrong. Sometimes, the non-process view can get you
into trouble, but other times it might be the right way to go about a certain
situation. With communication, I take a
non-process view when talking to a particular someone who was known for
spreading rumors in high school. I still
communicate with him because he is a friend, however there is no intimate side
to the conversation. With relationships,
the non-process view is usually used on people that have broken my trust. I have a hard time giving people second
chances and once you do something that really makes me angry or hurts me, I
tend to think that person will make the same mistake again. When taking a step back and analyzing how I
view things, I definitely need to be more open-minded and give people second
chances. Although I try to have a
process view most of the time, I could surely be more patient and let things
play out more. This would make a huge
difference in certain areas of my life.
Hi SCbaseball, nice job with your post. I thought you did a really good job. I read about how you are usually not the type of person to jump to conclusions. That is a great way to look at things because I must admit I am the opposite. I try to be more conscious about it but it is not easy. I would like to say that I don’t usually jump to conclusions, but unfortunately I do. You discussed about wanting to be more open minded, and give more second chances. I think those are things I could work on as well. Our text is really helpful with evaluating my conflict style.
