In my own personal experience the fear of conflict is either partially or completely based in the fear of rejection or abandonment. For me, the thought pattern followed like this: conflict leads to --> risk of physical harm/embarrassment/general negative reaction from person(s) --> rejection --> abandonment. Obviously you are your own man so your story is going to be a bit different but I would hazard to guess that the fear of rejection and abandonment are central fears in many people's lives.
