Handling Disagreements

Help

Your friend is mad at you because you didn't respond to their texts about going to the movies. You know how much she wanted to see the movie but you say "Get over it! It's not a big deal!" Is that a good way to handle that conflict? Why?

No - you probably made the conflict worse by not showing respect and not apologizing

Yes - you were respectful, you apologized, and shared why you were apologizing
