10. You should also let the other person know what your own perspective or opinions are. Aim to make these specific rather than couch them in broad terms so that the other party knows exactly where you stand. This will reduce instances of miscommunication. 11. If the other person has offended you somehow, be vocal about your displeasure but do not get angry. Control your emotions so that the situation does not worsen. 12. Maintain an objective stance regarding your reactions and the consequences of the actions of the other person. This means being able to take a step back and view the situation from an objective point of view.
