Tips on Getting Along
Listen! One of the
best ways to get along with others is to listen. Many arguments happen
because of misunderstandings. When you listen carefully to what another
person says, you can often avoid misunderstand
Be polite.
Politeness goes a long way. Most people react well to kindness, so use kind
words even when you are upset. In other words, don’t say mean things
if
someone else does. Being polite is not only useful when you have
disagreements with friends, it can also be useful if you have confrontations
with strangers.
Walk away.
Sometimes, you just need time to be alone and cool off. Understand when an
argument is not going anywhere. Taking a break can often help you get along
with others.
Agree to disagree.
Sometimes, people reach an impasse – a point in an argument where it’s
impossible to agree. Instead of getting angry, try to understand when this
happens. You can agree to disagree about a certain topic, but still find a
way to get along.
Think first.
It’s helpful to think about the words you choose before you speak. You can
make a point in a tactful way that does not hurt another person’s feelings.
