Do you live or work with someone who’s outspoken about their ideas and opinions, and theirs are the polar opposite of yours?

This can be tough, especially around election time. You can choose to argue constantly, which is no fun for you or anyone within earshot, or you can choose silence. People who want agreement or an argument, and they don’t really care which one, don’t know what to do with silence.

At first, especially if you’ve engaged in repartee with them previously, they’ll be persistent in trying to get a rise out of you. Practice silence. Smile blandly, lips closed. If you truly must say something, make it something like, “I know you have very strong feelings on this subject.” That’s neither agreement nor disagreement, it’s just an acknowledgement that you heard them.

When you stop engaging, they’ll eventually stop spouting off around you, and won’t that be a deliciously delightful day?
