conflict is disagreeing to agree

That's such a great point. We only have a conflict if we don't agree on something, or even in agreeing to disagree.

I will confide in a trusted friend or colleague, depending on where the conflict happened. Secondly, I will request a meeting with the person involved and say my truth.

That's a great strategy, that way you avoid the he said she said part. The third person will be the neutral witness of the resolution.
