Even though the author of Dorian Gray preached aestheticism as the ultimate goal of arts, his work does not converge to that conclusion.
Oscar Wilde, along with other artists belonging to the movement, claimed to believe art is done for art's sake. That, behind books, pictures and music, there shouldn't be a deeper meaning, a lesson to be taught and learned, any political positioning to defend or attack. Art was, thus, only supposed to be beautiful.
However, Wilde's character Dorian finds himself sinking in life for his lack of moral. Concerned only about his own youth and beauty, Dorian is incapable of loving and connecting to another human being. Consequently, everyone around him suffers and he becomes a dark and lonely soul, whose sins and real age are apparent in a picture of him painted by a friend.
"One conflict I've faced is the possibility of rejection, specifically in auditioning for my school's advanced choir. I was unwaveringly nervous of rejection because it would mean, in my eyes, that I wasn't a good enough singer. Eventually, I decided it was best to try and possibly succeed than to live life in torment of the "what ifs." Now, almost a year later, I sing louder than anyone in my section of Basses, all because I went for it. Had I been overwhelmed by my fear of rejection, I never would have met my new friends or fallen in love with the songs I now sing."
As for your own conflict, you can think of something most people don't really think about, like lying to protect someone's feelings or not agreeing with something your parents do and you not knowing what to do about it.
