When you feel upset, there is a tremendous urge to defend yourself and argue. The key to resolving this is to back off and try a different approach. The bottom line is to never defend the “truth.” When you give up the idea that you have a monopoly on the “truth” and instead understand the other person’s viewpoint, people will be more willing to understand yours and hear you out.
