What did you learn the last time you had a fight?

We all fight. It's a fact of life. No one can read anyone's mind and well, if we could life would be boring. So, the question I pose to you all is what did you learn from your last fight? When we get angry we expose our humanity and our fears. That's where our anger stems from. Sometimes these insecurities flare up and well, our passion comes our and we show what we feel deep down inside. Have you taken note of what made you tick? What about your friend or significant other? Fighting (not with fists) is a great way to get closer to someone whom you love. If you don't take advantage of each fight to learn, well you aren't doing a very good job of capitalizing on a great opportunity to grow with your significant other or your friends. Most of us have fears of being in conflict which stem from childhood trauma. I myself had my share of it, and I get uncomfortable sharing any emotion as that had negative consequences when I was younger. However, I am growing out of that as I realize my friends aren't bigger than me compared to when I was younger and my parents were, and I have complete control of the situation as long as I don't give it up. That realization helps one figure out that a fight isn't chaos. A fight is what you make of it. Once I realized why I was fighting with my best friend about 4 days ago, we talked out our differences  (a bit upset and angry) and learned more about each other. I asked her what she learned, and in turn I told her what I learned about her. We are more resolved to be closer to each other and we genuinely want to learn more about each other now to prevent future conflict. Could you do this with people in your life? If you were more empathetic and willing to learn in a fight would it help your relationships?
