The Antifragile Family?: Build a muscle to thrive for generations.

How do you speak to people in a dispute?

Do you let emotions have their way?

Are you frank?

Is your manner of speech harsh?

Or do you formulate indirectly?

People like to be spoken to directly in a polite way.

Being polite does not mean being friendly.

Don't let other people's positions and agendas infuriate you. Don't personalise the dispute, stay objective and work towards your goal.

It’s paramount to remain conversational and focus on the subject- not the person and not being derailed by their attempts to violate this principle
