My posts in A to Z challenge this April will be on questions!


How to RESOLVE a tiff?
Keep quiet let bygones be bygones
Or sit together, and hash it all out
Sometimes one strategy works well
And at times other is the best way forward
At times you are left floundering, wondering
What’s the secret to maintaining amicable relationships
With people who are super sensitive and non-forgiving?
➰➰➰
Do you have family members or friends who are easily offended? How do you deal with them?

Thank you for the practical wisdom here, Sadje. Resolving differences look different for each personality type.

Stay away from everyone. Have no friends. Then there will be no tiffs.
On the other hand …. what’s wrong with having a tiff once in a while. Just make it a little one. 😉

I seldom have tiffs with my friends. It’s the family, who we cannot avoid who can be super sensitive at times.

Yes, that is very common.

Families are funny entities and despite our best endeavours and wishes for harmony, it’s not always possible. Sometimes issues, real or perceived, can’t be resolved and breaking ties and keeping distance is necessary. Particularly of you’re dealing with toxic personalities

I know and it is hard going when people closest to us can be super sensitive and easily offended. I was just reading a book where the author suggests not giving these relationships too much importance as it can break us from inside.

Oops. Sorry, I missed the book completely. I’ll have a look at it

You may not be familiar with it as it focuses on Islamic faith and hope we should live life.

lol, very true, Sadje G 😁
people that are touchy we respect, keep far and very quiet around and if words need to be said, we quote famous philosophers and scriptures. 😂

No escape for me from such people, I just keep my mouth shut 😅 Better not to say something that acts as a trigger.

Relationships are always difficult
To manage.
I say, emotions play a lot.
Even emotional blackmail is possible.
One can’t avoid tiffs.
Tiffs can be resolved but the initial love and bond is lost.

When young, there is always an ego problem ‘ Who will bend first?’ but age makes you mellow down. You understand the meaning of ‘resolve everything in time before it becomes a major tiff.’

The response is different with every personality and every combination. Some people have a knack for adapting to the style of the person they are communicating with….others are more like a bulldozer. 💞 💞 💞

With my depression I tend to be the one touchy, but I am also the one to reach out and try to patch things over. Although my daughter can get impatient at times. You have to be able to read a person to hopefully know how they will react.

That’s a people’s skill that some have while others don’t. I, sadly lack it most of the time. And I do offend people unintentionally. Thanks for your input Leigha.
