See below:

Explanation:

Internal conflict is essentially a conflict that takes place in the mind of a character. It is manifested by a character being unsure about some decision. Some examples can include

  • A child broke a vase but is debating whether to tell his parents or not
  • Someone was told a devastating secret about their bestfriend but doesn't know whether to tell them or not
  • Someone is wondering if they should leave a party or not

The key realization here is that internal conflicts take place in the character's mind, as opposed to external conflicts, that can be between two people, "Man vs. Nature", or even "Man vs. Fate".

Hope this helps!
