Handling An Argument

Too many times we get caught up in disagreements with people. Too few times though are we able to remain in control of the conversation because we lose our tempers and any room for understanding is lost. Usually the misconception is that displaying anger violence gets us our own way through intimidation. More often than not, that statement is more false than true. Do not raise your voice, be assertive.  As a general rule in life, people in control of their emotions are more trusted and are relevant for longer.

A display of such manner takes away your advantage as you are no longer level headed and if whoever you are arguing is able to realize that they will take advantage. If you were to be judged by several onlookers there would be no way of getting across to anybody if you are angry. No matter how true what you are saying may be, you aren’t getting across. Shout and immediately your argument is weak. No one will listen to you.

Just like other situations there is a way you can go around this idea and maintain the support of onlookers. This is risky as it could go either way. The only time you have the license to shout is when the person you are arguing with shouts first. The better way to go is to remain calm and assertive despite you having a chance of shouting and possibly being listened to. You are allowed to be the last to raise your voice.

The general rule here is that anger and explosion are detrimental to your position. Keep your mind aware of all the chances in your temper, voice and body language. That is the key to be heard and understood.
