Arguing Out Loud


Break ups can be a very emotional situation especially when they turn ugly in public. I have been apart of a lot of break ups some of them held in the very public forum of myspace. Blogs were written, comments were left, people even changed their myspace names to display their dislike for me. But, what does all this really accomplish?


A lot of time outsiders feel like they know you because you’ve went on a couple of double dates together, or because they’ve read a few personal blogs and seen you display acts of affection in public. At the end of the day break ups are a very personal thing and name calling and public shouting matches should be done in private.

How to handle a public arguement like a rational adult.

Walk away - Walking away from the arguement is the easy way out. Although the person who is most angry may follow you getting to a place were you can calm down and get your thoughts together. So if you need to hop on a bus, get in the car, on the train. Do whatever you have to do to get away.

Kindness - Kill them with kindness. That’s the perfect way to defuse an arguement by not letting the other party get under your skin.

Give in - Sometimes it’s really not that serious. Females and males tend to get very mad over something so simple it makes you question their intelligence.

Hang Up - Now I personally hate to give this advice to anybody, but sometimes you just might have to hang up on a person and let them call your phone a million times to avoid screaming on them in public when you’re on the phone. Even though a lot of times this just make things worst. Sometimes it is needed.
