Keeping Calm When Others Are Losing It

When someone around me is expressing frustration, I remind myself that I can't control other people or their emotions. It's not my job to fix their problems, and I can't take their frustration personally.

I also take a step back and try to see things from their perspective. Maybe they're having a bad day, or they're under a lot of stress. Whatever the reason, it's important to remember that they're not trying to hurt me.

Once I've calmed down, I can start to think about how to respond. If the person is open to talking, I'll try to have a calm and constructive conversation with them. But if they're not in the mood to talk, I'll just give them space and let them cool down on their own.

The most important thing is to remember that I'm not responsible for other people's emotions. I can only control my own reactions. So, next time someone around me is frustrated, I'll take a deep breath, remind myself that I'm in control, and respond in a way that is respectful and helpful.
