Don’t exit in a huff. This shows people that they succeeded in getting under your skin. Stoic acceptance, however, expresses strength.
Why answer when you don’t have to? You could wind up settling for less when there may be more. Be vague and non-committal and let developments unfold.
You’re uncomfortable receiving praise, but it still beats the alternative. Graciously thank admirers for their support.
A disagreement isn’t as polarized as you think. Both sides are partially right and partially wrong. Underscore these and a face-off grows more reflective.
How is anyone supposed to know you’re upset? Exasperated sighs don’t cut it. Speak up. It makes life a whole lot easier.
Conventional wisdom says stay put, but then convention doesn’t always work well with unexpected developments. Be more spontaneous.
