In life we face conflicts, disagreements and sometimes our interests clash with that of others.
Conflicts are bound to happen in all stages of life. Especially with friends, colleagues, siblings even strangers.
A mere stranger who barely knows you might just trigger your other side, by laying an insult on you.
In relationships, most times our briefs and interest seem to clash, which unavoidably leads to conflict. There are situations where the man would be reduced to nothing, just because he felt it's a bad idea for his babe to take that job. But because we have mouths that can talk, the lady will in turn make statements that will put him off.
Your colleague at work might feel he's 100% better than you, so as much you try, you end up being his ridicule. He throws sarcastic jokes at you, just because you found yourself under the same roof with him.
These are the issues in life. We've all been insulted in places where we do not expect, and even from persons we held in high esteem.
At that moment, what seems to be your response?
Do you just stay calm and let the barking dog bark, or you boldly give them clap backs.
Sitting calm or staying mute, I must say can't be very reliable but it works for most people especially the Phlegmatics. What if am a Sanguine and i attach emotions to things, of which i can't deal with. I end up responding with a clap back.
Now there are certain persons in life that has been marked off as bullies in this life. What the live foe is to torment others and derive maximum joy from it. They do it often because they are so insecure about their own life, but in a way to cover up the become bullies. I am not talking about children bullies(that's another talk for another day), i am talking about life(adult) bullies. Yes they exist.
