How often do you find yourself thinking that any trifle can cause quarrels in your family? It is easy to offend loved ones, because whoever, if not relatives, knows each other's weaknesses. But is it worth doing?
Instructions
Step 1
Remember that friends can come and go, and loved ones will be like that for life. In the most difficult moment, as a rule, only they stay close to help you stay afloat. Why offend those who are not closer to you? Listen to the words of famous writer Kurt Vonnegut: "Be complacent with your brothers and sisters - they are your best connection to the past and the ones who are most likely to be with you in the future."
Step 2
People can say the most hurtful words to loved ones, as well as share something intimate. This is because the degree of trust in relations with relatives is high, because from childhood almost everyone has to hear that “a loved one will not betray,” “parents will not advise bad things,” and so on. Perhaps, because of kinship, close people cannot help but forgive or at least accept the bad antics of their relatives. In order not to complicate the relationship, during controversial moments, try to weigh your words, even if you are provoked by close people with a not very smooth character.
Step 3
Some conflicts are better treated philosophically, for example, the "eternal" dispute between fathers and children. In such situations, it is better to abstract and evaluate what is happening from the outside. Moreover, in disputes on "eternal" topics, you are unlikely to come to some kind of harmonious agreement. Both parents and children should remember that fashion is changeable, morals depend on the change of times, etc. To reduce resentment, parents should be an example for their children, and children should become a source of pride for parents.
Step 4
It is unlikely that there is a large family in the world in which there were not even small quarrels and grievances. Since conflicts cannot be completely avoided, learn to ask for forgiveness and forgive those close to you. This skill, of course, requires a lot of effort, but it is valuable in that it helps to think about the dangers of excessive irascibility. Try to bypass sensitive topics, focusing instead on congratulations, warm words, and reminders of your love.
