Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I can see the other person is getting heated and shut down, and the harder I push the facts the worse it gets
- Every time I push back on the terms it somehow turns into them feeling attacked, and then we’re fighting about us instead of the actual issue
- The other side keeps coming at me hard
- The second they push back I either cave completely or harden into all-or-nothing, because I walked in without ever deciding what I could actually live with
- It’s turned into a pure contest of who’ll budge first, and I hate that whoever caves just loses face
