I became better at it with time.
I guess playing rugby helped me a lot because when I was younger I had no problem getting into it with others and didn't want to calm things down. But then I have learnt how to diffuse a situation in a team and talk things through. I confused getting heated vs putting your point across by not getting heated. I'm way more patient now and can find ways to calm a situation down. Same in my family and friends. I kind of have always been the "big brother" or the one hosting debates or trying to calm things down in a group. Even at work, I'm usually seen as the neutral one, and having a managing position puts that to the test too. Because really some days you just want to either shout at everybody or quit :joker: But you need to talk it out and take a deep breath and smooth it over as much as possible to get the best out of a possible bad situation. And thank God I married someone who also smooths things out too. Makes it ten times easier at home. |
Yes I'm good at smoothing things over. Usually with a touch of humour. Both for other people as a go between when they have fallen out and for myself when I've put my mouth in gear before my brain which happens often as I am hot-headed. Xx

But hey, people are people and they dont hide away from situations forced upon them by vindictive horrible people. What they do is pick up the phone and man up. |

Passengers that get 'bumped' when the plane is overbooked....obviously not happy bunnies. It was part of my job to deal with them... I loved it though....to pacify and reassure and to turn the whole situation around gave me a great deal of satisfaction. |

I would be useless, i would have them sitting on other peoples laps to get them away :laugh: |
