Anyone can find themselves in an uncomfortable position. But some people easily get out of delicate situations, while others are so nervous that they further aggravate their situation. According to psychologists, most of all a person experiences, saying something stupid and offensive or something out of place. Many also worry when they are afraid of being awkward or if in the case of an incident with their appearance. So that such trifles do not spoil your nerves and mood, you need to learn how to cope with them.
Instructions
Step 1
When a person finds himself in an uncomfortable position, he wants to sink into the ground with shame. And yet this feeling is somewhat useful: it makes a person understand that he has unwittingly crossed the line of what is permitted. Therefore, in order not to experience similar shocks to the nervous system in the future and not to get into a similar situation again, you need to be more careful, attentive and prudent.
Step 2
Shame is a beneficial feeling that empowers people to improve. A person begins to more deliberately follow his actions and words, and also tries to be more resourceful in order to easily get out of awkward situations. It also shows that you care about the people around you because you don't want to hurt their feelings. This means that you cannot be reproached for callousness and soullessness towards people.
Step 3
First of all, you should be indulgent towards yourself. People who take themselves too seriously make high demands on themselves and take all embarrassing situations to heart, and they most often get into them. He, too strict with himself, is afraid to get into an uncomfortable situation. Therefore, he begins to get nervous, gets lost and can often make mistakes.
Step 4
Remember, anyone, including you, has the right to make mistakes and mistakes. Begin to be more tolerant of yourself and the people around you. You should not constantly replay the incident in your mind, this will only worsen your nerves and self-esteem. You should also not constantly engage in self-criticism - this will interfere with your communication with people around you.
Step 5
The best and surest way to get rid of awkward situations is with a sense of humor. This feeling will not only defuse the current tense situation or delicate situation, but also make your life much easier. The ability to laugh at your shortcomings and failures is a sign of a healthy human psyche. To be able to treat various incidents more easily and with humor is a valuable quality that can help you out more than once. With the help of humor, you can disarm your ill-wishers, who are ready to let go of all sorts of taunts at your address.
Step 6
If you say something ambiguous or out of place that your opponent might misinterpret, don't focus too much on it. Correct the mistake with a smile or make a joke about it, and then keep talking as if nothing special happened. Or just ignore the misunderstanding that has arisen, as if it never happened. If he does smile, support him and laugh with him. Believe me, if you do this, over time, awkward situations will no longer be a problem for you.
Step 7
In the event that you inadvertently hurt the feelings of another person in a conversation, just sincerely apologize to him. For example, your boss overhears you harshly criticizing him by chance. Well, you'll have to apologize and then frankly add that you don't like his leadership methods. The main thing is not to fuss and not curry favor, this will only worsen the situation. But you will see that you should not say something negative about a person with other people. Draw conclusions from the uncomfortable situation that has arisen so as not to repeat such mistakes, and then just do not remember about it and live peacefully on.
Step 8
Having committed any oversight, a person may think that now everyone will make fun of him. But this is not at all the case. As psychologists say, an awkward and somewhat embarrassed person evokes sympathy from others. In addition, people are too busy with their problems to constantly think about your oversight. Therefore, over time, everything will be forgotten.
Step 9
Such quality as resourcefulness allows a person to get out of any situation. Anyone who does not make excuses because of the awkward situations that have arisen and takes them calmly and with humor looks worthy.
