Are you tired of getting dragged into arguments and never knowing how to get out? Use a simple technique called "being the bigger person." When you become the "bigger" person, the arguments stop. We've covered everything you need to know about being the bigger person, so you can put your best foot forward in your next tough conversation or interaction.
Address how the argument is going to affect the both of you later on.
Make sure to include key points such as stress, anger, and irritability.
Breathe deeply and count to a certain number in your head.
Breathing and counting help you avoid retaliating in anger.
Understand why people argue.
People argue because they don't want to feel defeated by their "opponent." If you realize that, the opponent's feeling of victory or success in each argument will fade as you continue to act like you don't care, you'll be less hesitant to stop the argument.
Ignore the person and walk away.
Exiting the conversation is a good option if all else fails.
