http://inspire99.com/how-to-face-an-argument/ Arguments are annoying, I honestly hate arguing with people for many reasons, and most important amongst those is that I hate the idea of heated emotions. It gives me a feeling as if the emotions are running around unbridled and we are finally talking about something which was not even the matter in the first place. Does this sound any familiar? Are you too tired of having these arguments, esp the meaningless types? Here are a few thoughts as to how we can bridle it a bit. 1) Why are you arguing ? 2) Stay to the topic! 3) What is more important? 4) Tempers Talk! 5) Why is the other person doing this? 6) Show the other person RESPECT! 7) Use Softeners! 8) Control your pitch 9) Don’t make it a long one! 10) It’s not a debate, it is a conversation! ... http://inspire99.com/how-to-face-an-argument/

HOW TO FACE AN ARGUMENT?

Page 2: How to face an argument

1) Why are you arguing ? 

 Is it because you are right? Is it because you can’t stand the person’s thoughts?Is it because you know that your

idea is awesome?

Try and understand why you are arguing.

2) Stay to the topic! 

Never make an argument personal 

An argument is about the subject and it is not an opportunity to

prove the other person wrong nor to prove yourself right!

3)What is more important? 

Is it proving yourself right or is it about proving the other person wrong? 

Either ways you are losing out on the person, you are proving your

competitor wrong and pushing his ego down.

4) Tempers Talk! Your words always have an impact.

Don’t let the temper do the talking, it is the essence and the person which matters more and not your temper.

5) Why is the other person doing this?

Is he trying to assert that he is right or is he responding to his emotions.

There are always some perks by being the bigger person in an

argument .

6) Show the other person

RESPECT! Show the other person that you care, you respect their views, you hear them.

7) Use Softeners!

  You don’t have to insult someone, a mistake is a mistake and what is more important is the person and the situation over petty egos.

8) Control your pitch

If you have something insulting to say, hold it back, if you want to shout, close your eyes and smile but never let it become an emotional battle!

9) Don’t make it a long one! If you realize that the argument is going out of control and you are not able to handle it, maybe call it quits, stop it, let the other person have the upper hand.

Don’t let the heated and the sour emotions take control of the two of you!

10) It’s not a debate, it is a conversation!

An argument is just an exchange of ideas, it is about reaching a solution and a conclusion.
