People have negative views of conflict I believe because of their mindsets. They don't see conflict as a positive thing in life. They see it as an impending doom. Conflict is a great way to learn more about how other people perceive things, as well as how you filter things as well. It is almost like a litmus test for living and being a healthy person. I think that people who do not seem themselves as creative may struggle more with the idea of conflict because they struggle with finding a solution.
I believe that the more people learn about conflict, it helps them see it differently. When you learn about something, it makes it harder to fear it. Another catalyst to a fear of conflict is experiences. If someone has never had a good conflict experience, they will generally see it in a negative light. Conflict makes a person feel an array of emotions and if they struggle with controlling their emotions that can also lead to a negative view. Conflict has a tendency to highlight the things people don't like about themselves, or things they are blind too. That is a hard thing to take, and the emotions associated with that are negative, and it can cloud someone's view of conflict.
I personally think conflict is good, I always feel like the relationship after a conflict is a lot deeper because I have gained a better understanding of the other person and vice versa. I think that alone makes conflict worth it.
