The ID Group Chat Ep. 9: We Had a Spat

Welcome back to another episode of The Group Chat everybody! In today's episode, we're getting personal and pulling the curtain back on some of our personal spats. We're real friends on this show and as real friends, you're bound to have conflict. This episode is all about dealing with that conflict, learning to apologize and simply being better with communicating with your friends throughout these issues. We hope our stories can help all of you with any potential conflict you may have with your loved ones!

This pod has been very helpful to watch/listen to. I’ve had my share of being passive aggressive due to avoiding confrontation but I’ve learned to communicate my feelings. Great episode!

Thank you all for this!! I literally hate conflict because I fear that if I’m at odds with someone, then I’ll lose that love and there will be disconnection after. So then I avoid conflict (even avoiding acknowledging my own feelings inside) and get stuck, not knowing how to process it. Like if I feel this way, does this make me a bad person? Or if I’m upset about this, does this mean I don’t love this person anymore? If this is something I need to talk about or I did something wrong, does this mean they won’t love me anymore?
But seeing how you all can have an intense disagreement, but then still to come back together so quickly and the LOVE remains, nothing lost, it’s so helpful! Like wow. So conflict is just natural, not always bad, and maybe the goal isn’t to just avoid it at all costs, but learn the right tools to consistently resolve it. And maybe it can lead to better a brighter and future on the other side 😭
