From time to time we happen to meet and deal with angry individuals. Luckily, there are a few tips to help you get along with those who feel furious.
1. Take their side
A very simple trick that almost always works is to agree with the person. It will help you both calm down and avoid further conflict. If you take the other person’s side and quit arguing, it will stop the fight. They will not fight with themselves, will they? Keep in mind that everything is under your control and you can easily deflate any conflict if you are ready and willing to allow the other side to think that they win the fight. Once you admit that the person is right, he will find himself at the dead-end – nowhere to go and no one to fight with. Tell the person you understand him and his reaction.
2. Arrange a Groundhog Day
Watch Groundhog Day once again and see the how Bill Murray had to put up with doing the same stuff over and over. The movie will teach you to deal with angry people. You might ask in what way. In fact, when you’re talking to someone who is furious about something you should imagine that the person is not sober. It’ll be easier for you to ignore the things the angry person says. We sometimes describe emotional people as “adrenaline drunk”. When a person cannot control his behavior, he cannot be fully responsible for his words either. Do not pay too much attention to a person who is extremely upset about something.
