Short Story Writing Tips - Does Your Character Overcome The Conflict Himself?

Your story belongs to your main character. And because its his story, everything associated with that story is his. The target is his, the problems are his, the conflict is his etc. And because the conflict will arise from a situation in his life, then he has to be the one to solve the conflict in the finish .

Why does he have to do this?

For the ending to be satisfying and most importantly, believable.

If a major conflict is occurring in your life and you solve it, will you feel pleased with yourself? Wont it boost your confidence and give you the strength to overcome anything? Will those feelings be aroused in you if your friend solved the conflict for you?

What if you were to tell that incident to someone, where you outlined all you had gone through and how you resolved the conflict? Wouldnt they feel pleased with you too? Wouldnt they think you are a strong individual?

Its the same with your story. Conflicts that are solved by another character or something else, do not have satisfying endings. When we become engrossed in the problems of the character and the character himself, we feel cheated when he doesnt pull through. He disappoints us in the end if he doesnt resolve his own problems.
