Winner Persona:
Conflict can feel like a competition for me. This can sometimes be because I’m tired of losing, and I want others to see the value in my view-point. Other times, I know that what I have to share is critical and I need to do my part to help others see it. I’m often unaware that I come across as overpowering (or I do it on purpose to win, even if subconsciously).
Loser Persona:
I often accommodate others when conflict arises. This can sometimes be because in the past I never felt listened to during these conversations anyway. Other times, I get tired of asserting myself with overpowering people. I do feel that what I have to say is valuable, but I’m not going to waste my time anymore on those who are unwilling to listen.
