What is that exactly? Withdrawal is when the person says nothing and tries to escape or ignore the situation. This does not solve anything and the person who withdraws feels more and more angry with the other person.It bottles up feelings and can be very negative in the long term. Indeed. That's very true. Another possibility is to ask for mediation from somebody outside the situation. What do you mean exactly by mediation? Well, this is when you give the problem to somebody outside the situation, and they decide what should happen.This can be useful, expecially if the conflict is serious. However, it's usually better to solve the problem yourself. Without dout, the best thing to do is to try to negotiate with the other person. Right. So how should you go about that? To negotiate, first, you should try to explain clearly what you want. What if the other person replies aggressively? I mean that often happens, doesn't it? Well, you shouldn't respond in the same way. The best thing is to rephrase what you said, and then try to find out what the other person wants, and why.
