Week 11 Post 2

When have false attributions you have made about another exacerbated a conflict situation?  Have there been times when making accurate attributions about the other has helped you?

I definitely do make mistakes and have false attributions about others, but I think I'm getting better. I would tend to blame everyone else for mistakes and fights, and fail to see my own shortcomings. This would lead to long and drawn out conflicts that would never truly be resolved. That was when I was extremely immature and would not want to admit that I was doing something wrong or not wise. Now I feel like I can steer clear of that and be able to do more accurate attributions than false. But there are times when I make accurate attributions and I can end up learning something new about someone or they can teach me a skill, etc. When I know someone is good and can lead me in the right direction, I like to get their advice or learn how they cope with certain situations. I hope that if someone saw that in me that they would feel the same way and want to grow.
