🛡️ Conflict Resolution Guide

✓Your #1 conflict trigger is the Self-Clarity dimension. It's not about right or wrong — your factory settings are just far apart. Accepting the gap is step one.
✓The Grateful is blunt; The Overthinker is more affected by wording than you'd think. Lead with a positive before the critique — it works wonders on a The Overthinker-type personality.
✓After every fight, spend 5 minutes asking "what were we actually fighting about?" Most of the time the answer isn't the issue itself — it's "you don't understand me."
✓Create a safe word — when either of you is about to blow up, say it and pause for 15 minutes. 100x more effective than slamming doors or going silent.
