Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 41: Navigating Through Conflicts

Greetings steemians, welcome to my post it's a privilege to participate in this contest "navigating through conflict" and thanks @jasminemary for inviting me please sit tight and enjoy.

How do you manage to stay calm during an argument?

When am in an argument leading to serious conflict, I first of all allow the person express his/her feeling, how they felt about the situation and I listen to the person point of view, but truth be told staying calm in an argument is not always easy especially when you know you are right and the other person is wrong.

One thing have learnt over the years is that transparency makes communication easy, when ever a conversation is brought I always like telling the person exactly how it happened and make it clear for everyone to see even if he/she doesn't listen I know I presented my case/story authentic and when the truth comes out I will gain trust from people, Also I will just stop the argument and remain silence or rather forget about the topic and tell the person we will discuss it when our emotions are down like when there's No anger.

Why is it important to listen carefully during a disagreement?

Listening carefully makes you fully understand and acknowledge the persons opinion, the reason why the person said this is it.

Listening make you know if the individual actually mean good for you, like when there's disagreement and you start hearing abusive words because you were trying to point a view just know that it's beyond the topic there's more to that insult, maybe there's hatred along side, most times when someone insult me in an argument I accept it, ponder on it and work on myself if necessary.

How does understanding someone else's feelings help in resolving conflicts?

It is very important to understand the person feeling, try to know if the person is short tempted, aggressive etc all these will help resolve conflict easily but when you don't know the person character and behavior peace won't reign in that environment.

Understanding make life easier sometimes is misheard that prolong an argument, what party A heard is different from what party B is saying, like you just assume and conclude what the person didn't say.

What can we do to control our anger during an argument?

For me I overlooked the situation while most times i remain silence because getting angry will not solve the argument rather it will increase it .
Silence is my best answer when I know I can't control the situation anymore I will just let the individual say what he or she has in mind and I'll quietly listen without saying a word.

I will like to invite @yakspeace @seancryil and @josepha to participate in this contest.
