I don't really create conflict and I don't stay around people who do.
If it's something where there's no choice but to face it I go one of two ways, hyper-methodical and diplomatic, or I flip the switch and nip it in the bud so there's no question of conflict re-arising.
I really don't like flipping the switch, it kinda scares me, feels too good... I like being nice, easygoing, soft spoken, putting people at ease. There's a high that comes with being very assertive but when it wears off I feel like shit. Vast majority of the time I'm diplomatic and I find myself thankful that I was as it pretty much always pays off.
