The art of "countering" diplomatically. 🖤

Smart people don't win by speaking harder... but win by controlling themselves.

Ever?

Someone speaks badly, sarcastically, insults.

Or try to make us lose confidence

Wanted to return immediately, but finally sat back and thought

"Why did we say so hard..."

Let's go from "reply with emotion" to this kind of response. 👇🏻

1. Do not hurry to answer when angry.

Stop for a little, breathe and talk.

Because the words that have been issued cannot be restored.

2. Ask back politely

Instead of gardening that

"Why do you say this?"

Try to be

"What do you mean, huh?"

Sometimes just let the other person explain.

He may have to review his own words.

3. Don't play according to the emotional game.

If the other party is loud

We don't need to be noisy.

Stillness is not weakness.

But it is not to allow other people's emotions to control us.

4. Set the boundaries clearly

"We can talk, but let's talk without insulting each other."

Be polite.

But there's no need to allow anyone to cross the line.

5. Choose what to answer

Not all words need an answer.

Sometimes non-retaliation is the best answer.

6. If wrong, accept

Saying,

"We're wrong about this. Sorry."

Doesn't make us look weak.

On the other hand, it shows that we are mature enough to take responsibility for ourselves.

7. Know when to walk out

Some conversations are not meant to understand each other.

But it's meant to beat each other.

If talking and only hurting

Walking out is probably the best answer.

Remember, 🖤

"The best response is not to hurt the other.

But to maintain your dignity without hurting anyone. "

Grow up and we'll know that.

Not every battle we have to win.

Some battles... We just choose not to play.
