Posted By admin on June 20th
There are a lot of people that come into your life, and you need to know how to talk to someone you hate. You need to know what to say without enabling and escalating conflict.
Here are the worst ways to respond:
- Thinking your way is the only way. What does this look like?
- statements that lock you into extreme positions you can’t back out of
- stating facts that support your views while scanning the other person’s statements for evidence of lies, bad intent, and ignorance
- asking few genuine questions
- making assumptions about the meanings, intentions, and values of the other person without clarifying
- Responding with unmanaged emotions. What does this look like?
- anger, flippancy, or disinterest
- frequently interrupting
- personal attacks
- Blaming others. What does this look like?
- preaching; moralizing
- making statements like: “This is not my fault” and “This was your responsibility”
