3.  Avoiding Conflict Altogether Don’t avoid the situation. If you do you may end up hurting the person you are speaking to.  Being Defensive Try to see it from the other persons point of view. This helps because then the person you are speaking to feels understood and less mad.  Overgeneralizing Try not to blow things out of proportion. This makes things seem like they are worse than what they really are, which causes stress.

4.  How to get the person's respect Talk and behave in ways that are consistent with what you believe. In other words be yourself but respectful.  Fighting fire with fire just makes a bigger fire. Try not to blame, nag, or complain. When you do this the other person will have no respect for what you say.  Here are a few examples of seemingly loving, but respect-losing behaviors Saying that honesty is important to you, but then hiding information that the person may not like. Not being assertive in expressing your needs and desires.

5.  Approach the issue with clarity Approach any issue in a clear and logical manner. If you just walk up yelling it will make the problem bigger.  Understand the issue Make sure you understand what is being discussed. You can’t solve the issue if you don’t know what the issue is.  Plan a strategy After you understand you problem you need to know what to do in this situation. This is best to do so you come out with a good result.
