The emergence of conflict situations is possible at home and at work, when communicating with friends or complete strangers. To avoid unpleasant situations, try not to provoke them. Remember - in quarrels, scandals and fights there is no right. The best way not to become guilty is to simply not participate in the showdown.
Instructions
Step 1
When communicating with colleagues and friends, be aware of what and how you say. Sometimes too harsh a phrase can provoke a discussion that will result in a quarrel. Don't be too persistent in defending your own opinion. Sometimes it's easier to agree with an opponent than to ardently prove that he is wrong. Stop disputes early on. The longer the discussion lasts, the more difficult it can be to stop it.
Step 2
If they are trying to get you on the side, politely withdraw. Save your energy for the really important and fundamental questions. Don't get involved in every conflict. Very often they end with the reconciliation of the parties, but the mediator may not be forgiven for his participation.
Step 3
Don't fall for provocations. Don't take criticism too personally, especially if it's fair. Do not refer harsh statements to your personality, but to a separate offense. Sometimes a rude person is discouraged by politeness. Try to calmly say goodbye to a rude colleague or simply not react to his attacks. Lack of the expected response quickly sobering up the opponent. But don't get overly polite - some may take this treatment as bullying.
Step 4
Be careful when taking part in people's discussions. Do not gossip - your innocent phrase can be passed on to the interested person in a distorted form. If someone's impartial words about you are conveyed to you, do not rush to believe - perhaps the well-wishers have greatly distorted the information. Make your own opinion about people and do not rush to change it without good reason.
Step 5
Be especially careful when talking to strangers. Maintain goodwill, do not indulge in disparaging remarks and risky jokes. Please note that your communication style may not be appreciated.
