Lately I've noticed that when I disagree with and am in conflict with people, the experience causes me physical pain in the form of severe headaches.

Can anyone else relate?

I think it's normal, although it depends on how stressful these discussions are. How severe are your headhaches exactly?

Try to avoid them if you can
Thanks for this!

Bad enough at times that I feel nauseous and I find it difficult to function. As far as I can tell, I hide it well. I deal with customers on a daily basis.
Luckily, my circumstances are such that I can take a break whenever I want, when I'm at work.

Perhaps it's just the job that's making you more stressed. It's a good thing you can take breaks, at least maybe some meds for your headhache could come in handy?

The fact that I work for myself is actually a blessing I'm thankful for. I fear having to work for someone else.

I haven't been able to find any meds that help. Mindfulness and meditation do help. I think I just need to find less stressful ways to deal with certain people and circumstances.

Try to keeps some distance from those kind of people, don't assign to much emotional importance to a disagreement.

Dealing with people makes me anxious, dizzy & disoriented. I don't do it anymore...

My ideal life is one in which I'm surrounded by close friends with whom I enjoy talking quietly and leisurely about enjoyable topics.

But, most of my family is in conflict most of the time... either with other family members or someone else. My favorite sister is something of a loveable bulldozer who will argue with anyone at the drop of a hat, and frequently speaks her mind. But, she also has a ton of friends. She is quite confident... I don't know that I've ever heard her question herself, or admit to being wrong.
