How to save yourself in awkwardand anger prone situations...

February 13, 2023

So we all get caught in embarrassing situations now and then. If you are like me, it would be even more frequent. I can’t tell you the number of times I have forgotten people’s names, faces and even phone call appointments. So here are some smart tips (I didn’t say ethical) to squeeze your way out of tricky situations, not get fired and save face. Twist the Truth White lies told with good intentions are harmless. And they actually not only benefit you but even the opposite person won’t feel bad about themselves. So, for example you forgot someone’s name. Huge tip – Smile wide and say with confidence ‘I must get your phone number.’

Remove your cell and then ask, ‘please can I have the correct spelling of your name?’ I have done this more than ten times and it always works. Feign a headache You can try anything, even a stomach ache would do. If you are pretend -unwell, very slim chances of anyone bothering you for any explanation in an awkward situation. Infact you might even get sympathy and exemption from what could have been a breaking point. Try honesty Be honest about what you did, own up. Apologise so profusely that the opposite person gets fed up, listening to so many sorry’s. Finally they might just tell you, ‘it’s fine. No problem.’ Compliment the other person If you flatter or praise someone (genuinely) less chances they will be mad at you. I mean if someone tells me I am drop dead gorgeous, can I ever be angry ? Of course not! But make sure you don’t over do this one. You can’t tell a person who is balding that their hair looks so perfect! They might just think that you are poking fun at them and then things may just get more tensed.

Make someone else speak on your behalf If you know you are going to be at the receiving end of wrath, request a friend or sibling or even your kid (if they are old enough) to make that call or go speak first. Chances are the frustration will come out on them and by the time your turn comes, they might simmer down. It’s not fair, but you can make it to them later. And if none of these work, buy them a nice gift or a good meal. After all who doesn’t like presents and yummy food.

Here’s to the wild ones. Here’s to you...

Here’s to the fallen, the broken and the shattered. To the warriors who know that to be cracked is to let the light in deeper. Who know that the best fruit is on the very tip of the branch and the brightest jewels are hidden within the roughest of surfaces. Here’s to the ones intoxicated by the burning of the winds of change in their lungs and who live in the lands that others fear to tread. Here’s to the ones who raise their voices to the heavens even though they don’t always know the words. Here’s to the rare beings who walk the road less travelled, taking the adventure that rises on this path with purpose and passion. Here’s to the rebels, the heartsick originals, and the bittersweet loneliness that fuels their spirit. To the ones who won’t conform, back down or step aside. To the ones who were not born to fit in but to gloriously stand out. To those who are here to be midwives of the genuine. Here’s to the awakened ones whose purpose is to f...

6 situations in a relationship when it’s worth lying

Sometimes lying. In some cases, lying can help you cheer up your partner or even may save your life. 1. When you leave an aggressive partner. If you have decided to get out of a destructive relationship and you’re preparing to step back, you’re free to lie. Your main task is to draw his attention to save money, to gather your things, to make contacts with people who will help you get out of this relation. The aggressor’s reaction is unpredictable if he understands that the victim is escaping. Therefore, it is better to stay alive and healthy than fair and honest. #2. When the partner asks, “Have you ever loved someone more than you love me?” If you have not previously agreed on absolute honesty, then answer “no”. Let’s admit that there was a stronger feeling in your life than the current one. Who will feel better if you tell the truth? #3. When you make a surprise Usually, the man who a surprise is being prepared may open his third eye and also the ability to see through the wall...
