When someone is critical of you, sometimes agreeing with the criticism can keep you from reacting defensively. This method can help in taking the wind out of another’s statement designed to fuel conflict. Responding to a statement like, “Your and idiot” with, “I guess sometimes I could be a little thoughtless” can help to lessen the chance for conflict.

Correction needed: “Your and idiot” should be corrected to “You’re an idiot”
