"I was under pressure" is not an excuse for toxic behavior.
Being stressed doesn't justify hostility. It's not your responsibility to absorb their pain.

Saying "that's a good point" doesn't lose the argument. It wins trust.
Acknowledging a valid observation is a display of respect.
It signals that you're listening with an open mind, and motivates them to follow suit.
You don't have to agree on everything to agree on something.
