off-topic How do you handle difficult conversations?

[ActionAce]

Everyone must handle challenging conversations with care especially when dealing with coworkers and extended family members and close friends. Final resolution of both relationships and conflicts depend on how you are handling difficult matters. When I stay open to new ideas, plus practice empathy during tough conversations they tend to produce productive results

I tend to do some serious thinking before responding when a conversation is getting really challenging. This ensures that I don't say something that will worsen the situation.

It is not easy to handle a difficult conversation, but if you are smart, you can make a way, be tricky, and maintain your composure.

I put thought into the conversation beforehand, but I treat it like I treat many other things and just rip the bandaid off.

Get through with the conversation before the underlying problem of it can manifest into something far worse, where it makes the conversation longer, or can hurt a relationship much more.

For me, preparation is key. I prepare my thoughts in line with the conflict I want to resolve. Being composed and calm enables me to stop situations from getting out of control. When we maintain an attitude of paying attention toward others, it's a way to demonstrates respect for their view and it helps a lot to resolve issues quickly.

As a problem solver, I prefer to be confrontational about problems instead of delays which will probably block a clear communication. It could make conversations feel awkward at times but confrontation tends to help situations settle down faster.

I am only afraid to participate in a difficult conversation when it involves gun firing and loud shouting. I will surely run away he he.
