You'd be embarrassed if a friend knew the whole truth about how much responsibility you take on, how poorly you're treated, or how much bad behavior you put up with in order to avoid conflict.

The thing is, conflict is good. Not scorched earth, violent conflict—which is obviously detrimental and unproductive. But healthy, thoughtful conflict is the most direct route to growth. Perfect harmony, which requires a high level of avoidance, stunts us and the people around us.
