Conflict

I hate conflict. I guess I don't personally know a lot of people who love conflict, but it really bothers me. I attended a meeting today that is still weighing on me. This meeting was about doing ministry and during the meeting a couple of questions came to me that I thought needed to be addressed. Well, by the time it was all done, I some how felt like the bad guy and basically a jerk. I want to say I asked my questions in a respectful manner, and that I wasn't trying to be a jerk, but how come I can't shake the feeling. Am I missing something? Does feeling this way mean that I acted out of line, or do I feel this way just because I always want people to like me? Obviously it's okay to want people to like you, but there are times when that's just not possible. The problem for me is knowing if this was one of those times. I think so, but I'm guessing I'm probably a little biased in my opinion.
