What Is Your Conflict Language? ποΈ
There is a thing your body does when a conversation starts to charge β a reflex older than your opinions, faster than your logic, already running before you've decided what to say. Maybe it goes quiet. Maybe it goes reasonable. Maybe it strikes first. You probably know the aftermath version (the thing you always do), but you've never had a name for the language underneath it. This Mirror names the conflict language your nervous system speaks when things get heated. Not a judgment. Not a fix-you list. A translation guide β because the thing you do in conflict isn't a character flaw. It's a strategy your body learned somewhere, and it's been running the negotiations ever since.
Everyone has a default move in conflict. It's almost never the one they think.
