advise a friend who responses to conflict by avoidance is not healthy in sustaining positive relationships

Answers

It is not healthy to respond to conflict in avoidance. When a problem first occurs when our emotions go up, our intelligence tends to go down, so it is best to wait a while if you feel you are not coming from a neutral place. But conflicts should always be effectively communicated and addressed to sustain healthy relationships.
