can someone give me an example of an external conflict that might happen in a normal persons life?thx?

Answer 1

well something external is something outside of you. like a person bothering you.

Answer 2

Some common examples are losing a loved one to cancer, competing with someone else for the same job, or even running out of gas on the way to work and trying to fix the problem before you miss an important meeting. Any problem from outside circumstances that stands in the way of making your goal.
