We all think we can be strong
But when it happens, you can’t find the strength
Even trying to say words that you think should be easy, you will freeze, tremble or choke
So, when someone can speak calmly during these times, listen and be respectful. It takes humongous strength to do it
Such strength can’t be gained overnight
It comes from life experiences over time
It also comes from inner core values
One possible technique:
Take a deep breathe to calm down first, and try to imagine you are a 3rd party looking in from a distance. Then form the words and speak out without immersing into the situation. But do be aware of your tone. Else you could end up sounding cold and mean when it was never your intention
