Depending on the people, these ideas actually work really well. I personally have to walk away and take a breather before things get out of control. This is really good advice.

I learned about that in one of my Psyc classes (and we talked about the "I" language) and I felt so prepared for my next argument. lol. I agree with Leah.

I curse like a sailor, sorry to say. I would have to work really hard on #1 also...I to, talk with my hands. I think I could swing the rest though.... I love this…but I so couldn’t do #2.

Its that whole concept of "I" language. It tends to make folks less defensive. I wholeheartedly agree with your tactics though. I think if more people followed this, something besides hurt feelings would come of an argument. My fave thing in an argument is to just discuss how I am feeling.

After you walk away, by the time you come back you can say whatever it is you have to say a little more calmly. Works for me...sometimes.

However, I am far too animated to put several of these numbers into play. I'm a "hand talker," to start, so #1 is hard enough even when I'm just happy and telling a story. I think I'd die if I was forced to do #1, 2 and possibly 6. lol Good advice, nonetheless. This is great, Eva! However, I am far too animated to put several of these numbers into play.
