How many times have you become irritated by what someone is saying?It may be your friend,your father,mother, a sibling or your boyfriend and girlfriend. You may even have been irritated by some members in your school club, your classmates during a discussion. Learning how to cope with conflicts will enable you to be adept at facing bigger conflicts in your future. How can you avoid a minor irritation from escalating into 'world war III'? Here are some do's and don'ts for dealing with conflict:
- try to prevent conflict from arising in the first place
- If you think conflict is about to start conservation, adjust your conservational style. For example,if you tend to ask a lot of questions, the other person may think you are interrogating him. Back off before he starts getting irritated with you.
- If conflict does develop,comment on the way the conversation has taken, like "why are we getting upset about this?"
- Don't suddenly raise up your voice or tense your body. The situation can get worse. Remember gestures and tones of voice are more likely to spark off a conflict than the words you use.
- Drop the subject if the argument is simply going round in circles. Make sure you understand what the other person is saying, thinking or feeling.
- Remember there are often things in a person's background such as a bad childhood that make them have different views. You may not feel sympathy for him but try, anyway to understand his background.
