1. Listen to them and try to understand their feelings.
2. Try not to take things personally, even if they seem like personal attacks.
3. Ask questions to better understand the situation and make sure you’re both on the same page.
4. Remind yourself that it's OK to disagree and that everyone has different points of view.
5. Avoid responding in anger or defensiveness.
