Overview
When discussing a conflict today (with a friend, a romantic partner, a coworker or a relative), do yourself a favor and just cut to the chase. Beating around the bush will simply delay the inevitable and give everyone involved way too many chances to avoid dealing with what's really going on. Treat today's problems the same way you'd treat an adhesive bandage. Ripping it off quickly might seem scary, but it's actually a lot less painful than a slow peel!
