Being in an irritated state is tiring. It is difficult for anyone to be tense and to respond violently to what is happening.

It's not always possible to stay calm.

There may be someone nearby who expresses something to the individual that goes against his views, who is harsh about it. The interlocutor may have a feature that the person does not like in himself. This will negatively affect his psychological state.

But you can get rid of irritation. There are actions that will help with this.

Try to understand

A person tends to think things out, to put his own thoughts into the head of his interlocutor.

It is necessary to take a closer look at who is nearby. It is quite possible that the motives of the opponent's actions will become clear.

Concentrate on the matter

If communication is forced, then it will not be possible to refuse it.

In this case, you need to focus on discussing a specific issue. Concentration on the matter will distract you from emotions, and involvement in it will not allow you to break down.

Speak calmly

This should be done not only to avoid conflict. If you keep your emotions under control, if you breathe evenly and speak in a calm tone, you can stabilize your condition.

This will happen even faster if you ask the other person in a calm tone not to do something. He may listen to a polite request.

Don't defend yourself

If there is irritation on the part of the opponent, there is no need to reciprocate. You should inquire what exactly is wrong, what complaints there are.

This way you will not provoke either yourself or the person next to you. The dialogue will be constructive, and there will be respect in it.
