How Do You Resolve A Conflict ?

Here is the truth, I am one who can carefully analyse conflicts and resolve them amicably. Although I tend to make a little mistake or error here and there but that's fine? Even if it's not, I am not perfect to start with.
Some people make the mistake of thinking they are walking perfection and can never make a mistake, but truth be told, no one is ever perfect, some only just make themselves look perfect.
We all have our individual differences, our flaws that makes up who we are as a person.
So there isn't any need to try to portray oneself as being perfect when you aren't.

I've had a little conflict and misunderstanding with friends, colleagues and even family before and it took a while to resolve them, not a very long time but it did take a while.
And these conflicts and misunderstanding varied with the dept of the situation at hand.
Some didn't even take up to 24 hours to resolve while others took about a day or two and even a week as well
At some point, I didn't just wanna do anything about the situation or resolve anything based on my mood and emotions but I still had to anyways for peace to reign.

The very current misunderstanding I had with a friend would have lasted for just a little while but something happened along the line that prolonged the fight.
We both were hurt and misunderstood each other, but neither of us wanted to see reason with each other, so it kept building and piling more misunderstanding.
And as I speak, I don't know how this is going to end or be perfectly resolved but all I know is that we will both be fine in the end.
I would ensure that things doesn't get out of hand cause I can't deal with that.

But for now, I am giving us room to heal and realize our faults and mistakes and perhaps never repeat them again.
This is one of the ways I resolved my conflict with a friend, lover, family etc.
I tend to pull away, withdraw for some times and give room for them to acknowledge their wrong, apologize and maybe settle.
Although sometimes they also do the same.
So how do you resolve conflicts or misunderstanding with your friends, colleagues, lover, partner, family, or even with a stranger etc?
