It is common for people to want to promote their point of view, everyone wants people to hear what they have to say. I have found from experience by owing my own business for 15 years and being a police officer in the front line for 14 years that listening to what someone has to say and I mean really listening deeply to what they have to say is crucial to resolving conflict. Sometimes people will even be armed and yelling and screaming, you can let them yell and scream , listen to their frustrations, empathise with their situation and almost always after as little as a few minutes they will calm down…..because they don’t feel as threatened anymore, they feel like they are talking to someone who they can trust and who wants the best outcome for everybody. 

Perhaps the other most important thing is to learn how to remain calm. If you fail to be in control of yourself you are not in control of anything. To take the reigns and lead everyone home is the right direction. You just need to stay in that centred place yourself so you can gently lead others back to their own home. I use the word home here to represent a place that contains a sense of connection with family and friends, a safe place where you can be at peace and get as well as give help from and to those around you.

I use most of these strategies. It helps at times but difficult when the other person isn't making the same effort

@dawynn9362

I watched the ads in between, and I didn't mind. That's how useful I found the content to be.  Thank you for putting them together. Succinct and to the point.

@Live_And_Let_Live1469

Thank you for the video. I use many of them from my personal experience. We are humans and can’t run away all the time. Yes, we can be cajole with toxic but there are always conflicts between siblings, parents and kids. Up to what extent, we will run away and if we do that means we will be isolated. Short Life is better with love than long life with resentments and isolation. Life should be more lovely and practical. However if people are wrong about humanity then there should be firm stand. That stand shows we care about wrong doings. But getting frustrated at everyone is something wrong in personal behaviour. This life is very precious and there is a purpose of it. Let’s start to be mindful of each other.

It would have been beneficial to learn soft skills, such as conflict resolution, when I was in high school. This is the perfect topic to include in the health class curriculum.

@LornaSatchwell

I recently learned conflict resolution is apart of Self-care.

@rapcyll

Geez, literally the most underrated channel on YT

@annamariatrapieri1650

I try to apply most of these strategies on a daily basis,but there are some people who don’t respect each other by no means !!

@path-finder1

This is a GREAT video....!  I will be taking it in and practicing it out!!  Best point; Relationships last...  Yes, for "bitter" or for "better"....  Being sure to at least make some headway with those who are most difficult to get along with, can only make my life better!  I also make every effort to see that I'M not the one who is "hard to get along with"...!

@AndreChaser

A simple method: go far away from toxic people. Life is to short to insist on talking to idiots.

@gmkhushk3947

Excellent points for the learner and students of Conflict resolution/ management.

@kaychawke156

Really enjoyed this, very helpful .

@brittshirriffs839

This talk is really insightful, practical and helpful

@luisangelgonzalezvalencia1436

Thank you for providing different alternatives and new ideas that I will begin to apply.

@miguelsolana8590

I've actually been doing all of these since a while and didn't even notice that it happened!
Except the last one, and sometimes being too loud if someone offends me... Wich 99% of the time will be my mother. 
(I really, especially have to figure out those two eventually given enough time and patience, but regardless, I'm really proud about how fast I've learned to do all the other things mentioned in this Video! Especially that i did it more or less on my own)

Using humor doesn't work with narcissists. My narcissist thinks I'm being laughed at. The narcissist also considers using "I" as talking (only) about yourself. He's projecting and accuses you for doing the things he does.

@vicariousgamer2871

In addition to the blaming issue... It seems that saying "a part of you" or a part of me" instead of you or I, feeling/seeing/thinking a certain way helps to eliminate pointing the finger of shame. Also in addition, reiteration. So that the other person see's that you understand their view. My 2 cents.

@SofoniBeats

This is so true

@Rawen-pq2cw

This is so useful. Thanks for this cool video 👍👍😍

@downwithmyotp

Those are all good and valid points. I will make sure to put them to use. I have the tendency to avoid conflicts in general and run from them, but I'll try and change that habit.
