Sevens Tips: On Ways To Avoid Getting Into An Argument

BE THE ONE TO STOP IT BEFORE IT STARTS.
If you feel tension brewing, ask the other person if everything is okay or if you have done anything to upset them. Nip it in the bud before it escalates!

ADMIT WHEN YOU’RE WRONG.
Sometimes it is incredibly hard to admit when you are in the wrong but if you are, find the courage to admit it. You will only command respect from the other person by doing so. Arguing for the sake of it is pointless.

SAY IT, DON’T SHOUT IT.
It is much easier to resolve a problem if you talk about it calmly rather than raising your voice. Shouting is likely to make the other person feel defensive and their reaction might be to shout back.

RISE ABOVE IT.
If you feel like someone is trying to pick a fight with you, don’t give them what they want – be the bigger person and rise above it. If you feel like they are trying to provoke you, remove yourself from their company .

DON’T BOTTLE IT UP.
If you feel upset about something or if someone has angered you, the worst thing you can do is bottle it up. Inevitably your feelings will out, and if you haven’t processed them in a healthy way, it is likely you will erupt in anger.

CALM DOWN.
Breathe deeply when you feel yourself getting annoyed and try to imagine things that make you happy in life. This might lift your spirits and stop you from causing yourself and someone else distress.

DON’T TAKE IT PERSONALLY.
When people are angry, frustrated or upset, sometimes they say things they don’t mean. Try not to take a bad mood personally or what they say in the heat of the moment to heart.
