Troublesome Situations.
Many people have different ways of
reacting to “troublesome situations” these situations can be full of fear,
stress and anxiety so it is very important to know how to react and try to
react in the best possible way.
When you are in difficult situations,
you must take into account the following guidelines to harm yourself and others
and thus solve your problem with the best possible solution.
1.
Listen: Everyone wants to feel heard
(listening to the point of view of the other person can have a broader view of
the problem, and also more options to solve the problem)
2.
Stay calm: When a
situation is emotionally charged, it's easy to get caught up. You must monitor
your breathing. Try to take some slow, deep breaths. (You must take into account
your breathing in situations full of emotional stress since it is very easy to
get into an anxiety crisis)
3.
Don't judge: Don't judge the other person
without knowing their point of view or how they feel
4.
Avoid smiling, as this may look like you are mocking the person: Similarly, humor can
sometimes lighten the mood, but more often than not, it’s risky and it may
backfire (avoid doing this since the other person may feel that you are making
fun of her/his)
5. Don't argue or try to convince the other
person of anything: Don't
force the other person to do something he doesn't want
These are some guidelines that you can
keep in mind when you are in a difficult situation with acute. It is also
important to remember that we all go through difficult situations in our daily
lives and that you are never alone, you can always ask your parents, a friend,
a teacher or someone who can trust you and help you advise and help.
When you are in stressful situations try
not to think about the problem or think negatively, Try to think positively and
if you have the possibility of exercising or some sport to release toxins and
stress since the exercise is an antidepressant so you will be able to distract
and avoid the problem for a moment.
