Conflict style simulator · 5 minutes
Everybody fights.How do you fight?
Twelve rounds of a perfectly ordinary argument with a partner or family: the dishes, the forty minutes late, the in-laws who are coming for a week. Each round they say something, you pick your reply, and you see how it lands. No right answers, just your usual move.
5 minutes12 roundsNobody storms out. Probably.
Four classic moves, and one that fixes things
When a conversation gets tense, most of us fall back on one move: going quiet, hitting back, arguing the facts, or giving in to make it stop. There's also a fifth, repairing, which most people use some of the time. The simulator counts what you actually pick, not what you think you'd pick.
The Fog MachineIf nobody mentions it, did it even happen?
The BoomerangEvery complaint comes back. Faster.
The Courtroom LawyerObjection. That's not technically what I said.
The White FlagSorry. Sorry. Also, sorry.
The Repair KitYou fight to fix it, not to win it.
