What are you afraid of?
justprompts | What are you afraid of?
I'm afraid of myself. Just a little. Not in the whole run-for-your-life, the-world's-going-to-end sort of fear, that's sort of not it at all.
The problem is, he's just so high-strung! He's going here and there and rawr! and yelling at people and...
Why does he do that, anyway? I mean, I know why he does it, I was him not what five seconds ago? Something like that. But why does he think it will help? When has anyone responded positively to yelling?
When have I responded positively to yelling, actually. Or responded at all in a way that's obviously not sarcasm?
Never. And there's been a lot of me, so that tells you something right there.
Yelling never solves anything.
It just sort of... makes you look mad and scary and like you're frothing at the mouth a bit.
Calm, rational arguments. That's the way to go. You go that way, and they may not listen to you now, but they will in five minutes when they've calmed down a bit. And that what matters. Calm, rational arguments, rubber duckies, sleep, and just, in the end, just wandering off, doing it all on your own while they're still arguing.
Those, right there, are the keys to success.
