Ask Clarifying Questions Until You Fully Understand Their Position

Most arguments aren't really about what was said -- they're about what each person assumed the other meant. Before you respond, before you defend, before you counter -- ask. "What do you mean by that?" or "Can you say more?" are not signs of weakness. They're acts of respect that disarm phantom conflicts before they escalate. You'd be surprised how often the thing you're fighting about doesn't actually exist.
The point
Most conflicts stem from assumptions, not actual disagreements -- clarifying questions dissolve them before they start.
