An intolerant attitude towards someone else's point of view can cause many conflict situations. In order not to be considered a person with a difficult character, with whom they try to avoid communication, you need to learn to be tolerant.
Instructions
Step 1
Admit the idea that different views are possible. People who do not tolerate objections, as a rule, have high self-esteem and consider their point of view to be the only correct one. They refuse even in thoughts to admit that other people's views can be correct. However, it is a great misconception to divide the world into black and white. Psychologists point out that disagreements do not mean contradictions. It happens that one problem has several solutions, and it is not always known in advance which approach will bring the greatest success. Therefore, sometimes it is useful not only to give the right to express an opinion, but also to admit that perhaps someone's non-standard approach may be the best solution.
Step 2
Please note that all people have a right to their own opinion. Show respect and give others the opportunity to voice their position. Remain calm and do not take it as a personal insult when your views are opposite. In any case, even if your opponent is wrong, let him tell you his opinion, and then bring your own. You can prove your case by presenting convincing arguments, and at the same time you will not be known as a conflict person.
Step 3
Avoid criticism and labels. The habit of criticizing others and labeling everyone is a feature of stereotypical thinking. You can notice for yourself the shortcomings of others, but you do not have to spend your emotions and energy on sorting out the relationship. Do not seek to think in a set of cliches and create irreconcilable and unambiguous images in your imagination. Realize that sometimes people can change and realize that they were wrong. Learn to accept others for who they are and, if possible, forgive their mistakes.
Step 4
Try to stand in the shoes of your opponent and try on his situation. Perhaps your actions in such a case would be much tougher. Strive to be discreet and kind to people. Try to notice more positive qualities and not show dislike.
Step 5
Live your life. An intolerant attitude towards people is manifested in comparing oneself with the people around. As a result, a person is constantly in a state of competition, evaluates all actions and believes that he would have done better. Don't judge other people, but live your own life. Give others the right to live as they see fit: make their decisions, achieve goals, and learn from their own mistakes. Focus on your plans and learn to live in harmony with the world and yourself.
