To put a person in front of a fact means to inform him about some accomplished event. Most often, this phrase has a negative connotation, because it is no longer possible to influence such an event and it is unlikely that it will be possible to change anything.
Instructions
Step 1
Sometimes it is difficult to confront others with the fact, especially close and dear people. Some may delay the need for such a conversation to the last, fearing of offending someone. You should not postpone this conversation, since every day it will be harder for you to start this conversation.
Step 2
Another case when you have to confront someone with a fact is if the person is going to do something no matter what. When a decision is made, and it is unlikely that something can change this decision, the person is forced to tell about it to a loved one or several comrades. You must always remember that all people are different, you can consult with someone and get a constructive answer, while someone is better off talking only about what has happened, because he answers questions for a long time, tedious and drawn out. In any case, it is imperative to emphasize that everything has already been decided so that others do not have the idea of somehow influencing the event or changing it.
Step 3
When you are going to present someone with a fact, you need to understand and imagine the possible reaction. For different people to tell about the same event, it is worth choosing different words and expressions. Firstly, because of how differently people understand and perceive information, and secondly, because of considerations of possible consequences. If a person's reaction is difficult to predict, it is better to start with careful statements.
Step 4
A conversation like this should start with positive things. If the event has already happened, and you need to confront a loved one with a fact, it is worth mentioning the good consequences and changes. If the situation is unpleasant and can bring negative consequences, you should try to mitigate the fact. And it is also advisable to immediately suggest possible solutions to the issue or the problem that has arisen.
Step 5
With all the necessary gentleness and sensitivity to the reaction of another person, you need to have a certain firmness and confidence in your voice. Otherwise, the fact to be communicated loses its uniqueness. The person who perceives the information must understand that he is being presented with a fact. In this case, the reaction will be easier and calmer. It is always easier for people to come to terms with what has already happened than to try to stop or, conversely, hasten what is just about to happen.
Step 6
To confront someone with a fact, you need to be confident in your decision, immediately inform the interlocutor about this and try to soften the information if it is negative. In such a conversation, you need to restrain pity for the interlocutor. Especially if the consequences of the conversation will negatively affect the later life of this person.
