Six ways not to fall into a stupor during a difficult conversation- Take time to adjust yourself.
Sit in silence. Ask yourself a few simple questions related to the conversation.
- Make the situation as familiar to yourself as possible.
Imagine the interlocutor, the place of communication. Ask yourself about possible force majeure and think of ways out.
- Look at the person you are talking to as an ordinary person.
Remind yourself that he is strong, weak, dangerous or useful in some way.
- Give up thoughts that create strong emotional tension
Namely: from ideal speech results ("I'll speak without a single mistake"), from supereffects ("We'll agree at the first meeting"), from reliance on the evaluations of others.
- Analyze conversations correctly
Notice not only what didn't work, but also what worked well, draw conclusions for the future.
- Expand your repertoire of scripts and formulas for speech behavior.
