It can happen virtually anywhere with anyone, at work with your boss, at home with your mother-in-law or in traffic with that mad taxi driver. People start shouting at you or won't talk with you for a while, make offensive gestures, threaten to beat you up. How to handle it the civil way?Assess the reason why the person is angry at you. Try to put yourself in their shoes. What if they would have done to you what you did to them? Don't be afraid to admit you did injustice to them. It's an act of courage, as long as it doesn't become a habit.Accept the fact that this person is angry with you, regardless if it's true or not, let them vent, stand back, DON'T get in their way. Show them you actually listen to what they say. That might already be part of the solution. Normally people calm down if they see you have a sincere interest in what the say. Communication is the keyword.Let it be time that heals. Hurt feelings can make people are not able to reason well. Many people react when they are angry by avoiding the person they are angry with for a while. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. It gives time to reflect and in many cases we just then realize how much we care about the other.Give up for now if the person is still angry with you even though you think it isn't your fault and you tried to tell them that. If it's a stranger you might tell them you're sorry in any case and just get on. It's more useful and easier to educate people you know than a stranger you might not ever see again.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Warnings--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Don't resort to violence!
