@lilybuslerr@FatHardens I’m still learning how to put myself in the other person’s shoes but I have made progress a lot faster with this class than I would have without it #CDR21
@JoshuaJH532 @Princesesa_Iman @moses5892 @LukeFie60655631 @JA_CDR_Buff It’s funny you say that because debate for me has always made me extremely frustrated at times. However, this year specifically I have found it to be less frustrating and more a “learning experience”. #CDR21
@lilybuslerr@lilyodaspok@Jskak21 That’s true. I think also when someone treats it as big and another as small it can go very wrong or just be frustrating #CDR21
@Princesesa_Iman @LukeFie60655631 @JA_CDR_Buff Yes letting things go has actually been so productive for me to not get drained on things that I predict will not produce a beneficial convo or outcome #CDR21
@doni_e_blakaj I agree! Although sometimes I get frustrated if I know they’re doing a certain tactic. I’ll bring it up and they’re like “no I’m not” #CDR21
@Jskak21@brandothoughts1 I agree if you go on defense or just be defensive in general with friends and family it may do damage. I think this is because if you have a close relationship with someone they usually have your best interests at heart. Then you have less reasons to be defensive usually #CDR21
My biggest shift from conflict at the beginning of the class to now is confrontational to necessary. In the sense that confrontation doesn’t have to be something to dread or avoid. #CDR21
@JoshuaJH532 @maddym0945@laurenstotle@lilybuslerr I agree I know the number one thing I cannot stand is the push to promote things. I understand once in awhile but not every single interaction it just feels like you say “rigid and inhuman”. #CDR21
@laurenstotle I also have found that if you show gratitude to the customers it also works. I work a retail job and have noticed if I say “thank you so much for being patient” then the frown usually goes away…usually #CDR21
@doni_e_blakaj @JoshuaJH532 @hasz_jax @moses5892 It is definitely a way to get a not so positive response. I have dealt with this and it is frustrating in the moment because it feels like there is a lack of care #CDR21
@LukeFie60655631 @moses5892 I think this has something to do with everyone’s ability to be vulnerable. Like we’ve talked about in class it’s much more difficult to put into practice #CDR21
@hasz_jax @JA_CDR_Buff I think this is something to do with logic taking time. In the moment if you don’t have time to think it’s much easier to say or do something you won’t reason with later #CDR21
