可可电台

Don’t Cave to Every Demand

不要应承所有要求

Just because difficult people become demanding or aggressive, doesn’t mean you need to do what they say. In fact, giving in can reinforce their tactics. Be willing to say no when difficult people make unreasonable demands.

不要因为对方相当苛刻或盛气凌人,你就任由他们颐指气使。其实,你的迁就反倒会助长他们的气焰。如果对方提出不合理的要求,请主动拒绝。

End the Conversation if Necessary

必要的话,结束对话

If the conversation gets ugly, be prepared to end it. Don’t allow someone to become threatening or verbally abusive. Instead, make it clear you aren’t willing to hold conversations with people who treat you in a disrespectful manner.

如果对话变得越来越难听,那就不要再沟通下去了。不要纵容对方变得咄咄逼人、甚至口出脏言。相反,你应该明确表示不愿与粗鲁讲话的人进行沟通。
