How to stop yourself from crying in an argument
I cry at anything. A car advertisement with a particularly nice family in it, an especially rousing Elbow song, the overwhelmingly emotional BBC News countdown.
Take, for instance, the time I decided to ask for a raise at my first real job. I built myself up for weeks through a series of 'you deserve this' pep talks and wild imaginings of how well the situation was going to go."How can I help you?" my boss, a fellow grown-up professional woman asked me, when we finally met.
However, while everyone – male or female – should celebrate crying and being in touch with their emotions in their personal life, crying at work in situations where you're supposed to stand up for yourself can be a hindrance. And so I am trying to learn not to cry at times when I need to be Together-with-a-capital-T and ask for what I want and, more importantly, deserve.
"We sometimes don’t know how to channel our feelings in a tough situation and therefore turn to actions rather than words," Ben agrees."Crying replaces any need for communication as it’s often easier, and sends a powerful message to the person in conversation that we’re struggling to continue."
