Step<br />
Step<br />
Try your best to temporarily take yourself out of the situation, even if mentally.<br />
Yes, there will be times when there isn’t a pause button. Not everything comes<br />
to us as an email, message or letter where we can put a strong pause on our<br />
response. In some instances, we may be placed right in the middle of toxicity<br />
without warning and without much time to breathe. Nonetheless, whenever<br />
possible, try and slow down your response. It does not mean you are weak if you<br />
choose to delay or ask for a few minutes to respond. Stay silent, request time,<br />
walk away if you can. Allow yourself the time or space to assess the situation.<br />
1Ask 2yourself if this is even about you. I have been in so many situations<br />
where other people have deflected their own short comings and fears onto<br />
me. Not everything is about you, but the way you choose to respond in those<br />
moments says a lot about you. Try to think with an empathetic mind instead<br />
of rash emotions. Seek to understand where the person is coming from. They<br />
may be scared, sleepy, hungry, or brought up by fools; there are many factors<br />
that make someone act and think the way they do. Does it make them right?<br />
No! However, having the understanding that some confrontations may not<br />
be based on you personally, but by something triggered on a sore point or on<br />
a bad day for them, will make it easier to find a solution.<br />
Think<br />
Step<br />
long-term and not short-term. Even though you may feel<br />
wronged, offended or hurt by the person or the situation, your first<br />
response may not be the best response. Your friend may have done<br />
something to hurt you and you want to hurt them back... Would that<br />
help you or them in the long run? Yes, it may feel good in the moment<br />
to get revenge, but does it really help you?<br />
3Know that everything does not require your response. Clapping<br />
4back and ‘handling the situation’ does not always require your direct<br />
handling. There will be occasions where you will have to stand up<br />
for yourself (in a respectful manner). In other circumstances, you<br />
may need to elevate the problem to another level and let someone<br />
else take charge. This allows the situation to be managed without<br />
it taking a biased and personal slant. Then there are the instances<br />
where you are just going to have to walk away and let people stay in<br />
their muck. Some individuals don’t want to know better or do better,<br />
and nothing you do or say will help their tragedy. Taking your time<br />
and energy to battle with them will only leave you depleted. When<br />
faced with these moments and people, walk away and leave them<br />
to wallow around in their own filth alone.<br />
