Being confronted is a difficult circumstance in life that can be made far easier to handle with the right tools and strategies.
For some of us it may be a rarity that we would encounter a situation and may need these skills and for others perhaps due to their occupation, it may be more frequent.
Either way the following tips can be very useful to know and apply.
- Stay Centred; being grounded and centred in yourself allows you to stay open and aware to what is happening around you, and also feel safe in yourself that you can respond in the correct way you need to.
- Stay Calm; remaining calm can take some training, but being able to do so when being confronted and in difficult situations, can prove to be very helpful in being able to respond in a safe and correct manner.
- Speak Softly; if another person is agitated and trying to agitate you, then the best thing you can do is remain calm and speak softly yet sometimes in a firm way where necessary.
- Maintain your Distance; keeping a safe distance from someone who is confronting you or attempting too is also essential. In doing this you are maintaining your safety and also preventing them from being able to attack you physically.
- Know your Exits; as a last resort you need to know the actual exits out of any place or situation, in order to be able to get out safely. However in the best case scenario this can also mean simply calming the person and situation down in order to find a reasonable solution for all involved.
I hope you may find these tips useful if or when you may ever need them. First and foremost however remember, if you can always stay safe and avoid any potential confrontational situations.
