conflict resolution

[Lao Tzu]

serious answers please.



Who here knows how to resolve conflicts? i don't. I am not physically violent, and i am not really verbally violent. I assume that there are people here who know more about resolving festering conflict and problems, so how do you go about doing it?

 

[the People's Champ]

are you confident enough to confront the conflictor and to try to resolve your problem with them? if you can do that, you are at least going somewhere, rather than let it sit and get worse. compromise.

 

[el cubano]

I'm really not the one who should be answering that. I find that whenever I'm face to face with someone 9 times out of 10 they see it my way and the other 1 time I'll admit I was wrong.

But seriously, TPC was right, compromise is the key and the courage to stand up for your beliefs is half the battle.

 

[PHATchik]

Be able to back up your argument. Be willing to compromise also. Go in calmly. Don't be ready to jump down their throats the minute they disagree with you. Handle the situation calmly and rationally. That's the best advice I can give you.

 

[the People's Champ]

all bout compromise. you'll lose some skin, but that is better than losing the battle. if you can reach an understanding, you'd be a better person.

 

[3Vandoo]

Look at person between his eyes, tend forward to her, (body) will create the illusion you
are listening and attentive, dont bring arms, cross legs or it will show sing of defense.
Some body language that helps tho

 

[el cubano]

Yes, that reminds me, remember to look them in the eye. That can be very intimidating and cause the other person to feel uncomfortable thus giving in to you.

The way Ive been lately, if someone got in my face, it wouldn't be pretty..normally Im calm and rational, now I couldn't tell you what I would do to resolve things..I got in a big fight on the phone with my friend today, he deserved to hear what I finally said though
