Aggressive vs. Angry
Okay, so you’re angry. And you have a right to be. But no one likes a hot head—and they certainly won’t listen to one. Furthermore, being aggressive doesn’t have to mean acting out of anger or excess emotion! In fact, focused calm will render far greater results than an onslaught of insults or vitriol. So, before you do anything, take a deep breath and channel your frustration in a positive manner. Try to expunge some of the emotional buildup before dealing with the situation.
Properly Address the Situation
Now that you’re calm, you can take some time to properly address the situation. What went wrong? What could’ve been done differently, and most importantly, what are you asking be done as a result of the error? Whether it’s a refund, an apology or attention to a matter that’s been inappropriately handled, you’d be well served to map out what you’re going to say about the situation, what you’re going to ask for in return and how you’re going to approach it all before you confront the other party. This will help you to stay calm if they anger you.

Know What You’ll Accept as a Compromise
Your plan should include not just your desired result, but also where you’ll draw the line in a compromise. Negotiations often go awry because one party feels desperate and wants to grab onto something—anything—rather than be left with nothing. Not a pleasant situation and certainly not productive. By giving yourself a guideline, you’ll prevent spur-of-the-moment mistakes. Knowing your absolute bottom line (the minimum you can accept and still walk away satisfied), gives you guns to stick to and ensures you won’t walk away feeling bamboozled or disappointed.

Respected is More Important Than Liked
Sometimes, what stops us from asking for what is rightfully ours is the fact that we don’t feel worthy of it. We’re afraid to be bothersome or make someone angry. God forbid anyone dislike us! As a result, we come off as pushovers and get treated as such. The result is that our needs are never met and we harbor resentment or sadness about it. No more. By taking on a stronger—healthier—persona when approaching difficult situations, you may or may not make friends, but you’ll earn respect and be treated accordingly.

Don’t try to stay in a relationship where you’re not wanted or appreciated. There are other
opportunities and persons out there who can and will appreciate you. Sometimes you just
have to learn to take the high road and walk away with your dignity intact. Don’t lower your
own morals and self-worth by being with someone who has no integrity within themselves.
Learn to love yourself and then you will love life and attract a better quality of people. If
you’re being ‘screwed around’ by some corporation or government, go directly to the people
at the top and find an advocate or social support person to help guide you if you are uncertain.
God Bless you all!
I’m feeling the same feeling with ‘the system’ as Tired is. But I will continue to fight for myself
and others. My son’s home was destroyed in a flood caused by human negligence. Having to
deal with the insurance company is so frustrating and I realize they’re basically criminals and
just taking advantage of my son because he has a brain injury. I went to everyone for advice
and managed to find us a legal advocate to help us navigate the process. It is the people who
say enough is enough and fight to change the systems who makes the world a better place.
I’m so tired of the system and it does you no good to fight it then they look at you like a terrorist cuz your trying to fight the system and I know I’m right and they just wanna lie so how do I do it alone who do I ask for help when all the lawyers work for is the courts revenue $$$$ And not for the people. Will arizona become a martial law state? Sorry that’s two questions
