What is interpersonal conflict?
Interpersonal conflict is ongoing tension or disagreement between people, often affecting relationships at home, work, or in social settings. Unresolved conflict can increase stress, anxiety, and feelings of isolation, making daily life more difficult.
With support, communication and relationships can improve. Psychiatric care can help you manage conflict, regulate emotions, and build healthier connections.

7 signs of interpersonal conflict you shouldn’t ignore
Disagreements happen in every relationship, but constant or unresolved conflict can take a toll on your emotional well-being, work, and connections with others.
Here are 7 signs of interpersonal conflict you shouldn’t ignore—especially if they’ve been affecting you for weeks or months.
1Frequent arguments that don’t get resolved Recurring conflicts without resolution can create ongoing stress and tension in relationships.
2Avoiding difficult conversations Choosing silence or withdrawal may seem easier, but it often leads to resentment and distance.
3Emotional outbursts or escalating anger Frustration or irritability can boil over quickly, leaving lasting damage to communication and trust.
4Stress, anxiety, or low mood Unresolved conflict often contributes to anxiety, sadness, or feeling emotionally drained.
5Difficulty communicating clearly Misunderstandings, criticism, or defensiveness make it harder to feel heard and understood.
6Strain on work or daily life Conflict can spill over, lowering focus, productivity, and your ability to manage daily responsibilities.
7Feeling hopeless about relationships When conflict feels unending, it can leave you questioning whether change is possible.
