How do you manage to stay calm during an argument?

Argument to me is an open confrontation, most times it's provocating. When a person is provoked, he or she can say a lot of unnecessary things, that can be used against him or her.
With this knowledge, I try to be as calm as possible when faced with an argument. Infact I try as much as possible to avoid any form of arguments. I believe the person arguing with you, does not want to learn from you but rather he or she wants to prove a point.
So I allow say what you want and end the conversation with okay I have hard you. If the person insists further, I would just excuse myself politely.

I believe that, not everyone would agree with you, people have there own opinions and that should be respected. When in a disagreement with someone concerning an issue, it is important to listen, for the following reason.

• So you can spot out the person's interestsor motive. A person motive is more important than the suggestion. You can not know thisif you are not sensible and sensibility comes from listening.
• By listening you understand people's perspectives and the reason behind their disappointment, by so doing you can know how best to make them agree.
• Listening eliminates misinterpretation, when you listen you would hear what the person said and not what you think they said.
• You would know, when you are been threatened.

The truth is that people don't just stay and all of a sudden they start to agitate. Something or someone provoked it. No smoke without fire they say. When you understand what provokes people you would know how to prevent the reoccurrence.
Understanding someone's feelings can be called empathy. Most times we concentrate more on people's reaction than the cause of the reaction. When you're empathic, you'll be able to deal with the cause of the reaction in order to manage the reaction.
If one person is emphatic towards the other, it helps resolve the conflict because the emphatic perso would be less angry and conflict strives when two people are angry bat the same time.

• Coming to a common ground. When they both look for a common ground, it would be easy to agree and that can prevent anger.
• Refusing to argue, but instead respect each other's differences.
• Understanding where the other party is coming from. People beliefs and ideology are formed from different perspectives.
• Walking away from the argument, before things gets out of hand.
