Understand the source of the dispute

Disputes often stem from misunderstandings or miscommunication, and when a dispute occurs, the first thing to do is to calm down and try to understand the other person’s point of view, which may mean that you need to temporarily put aside your position and look at the problem from the other person’s point of view, in this way, you can better understand the other person’s feelings and needs, so as to find a common basis for solving the problem.

Listen and express

Effective communication is the key to resolving disputes, which means that both parties need to listen to each other’s point of view, not just waiting for their own opportunity to speak, listening is not only about listening to what the other person has to say, but more importantly, understanding the other person’s feelings and needs, it is also very important to express their feelings and needs clearly and honestly, which can help both parties understand the real cause of the dispute and find a solution to the problem.

Avoid accusations

In an argument, blaming the other person tends to make the situation worse, blaming the other person can lead to feeling defensive and angry, which is not conducive to solving the problem, instead, try to use the “I” statement to express your feelings, “I feel ……” or “I need ……”, this way can reduce the other person’s defensiveness and make the conversation more constructive.

Seek compromises

In many cases, both sides of the dispute have reasonable positions, in which case seeking compromise is a good way to solve the problem, which means that both parties need to make some concessions to reach a mutually acceptable solution, compromise does not mean giving up their position, but means that both parties are willing to make some adjustments for the health of the relationship.
