Imagine that someone at work is unfairly criticizing your work in front of others. How do you react? I am trying to stay calm and I will discuss with the person later what led them to such criticism.
I respond immediately and defend myself in front of everyone present.

I'm trying to turn the situation into humor and lighten the atmosphere.

I am trying to gain support from other friends to strengthen my position.
I will propose a compromise, but only if I see that I can benefit from it.

I will express my opinion and perhaps support one of them if I have a reason to do so.

Your supervisor gives you unfair feedback. How do you respond? I will ask for specific reasons and request an explanation.

I am looking for a way to present myself in a better light the next time an opportunity arises.
I will keep it to myself, but later I will complain about it to my colleagues.

When you have a disagreement with a close person and realize that your words have hurt them deeply, what will you do? I apologize and I am trying to rectify the situation.
I tell myself that the truth hurts and it's better to be honest.
I'll leave it like that, time will heal everything.
I feel guilty and I am trying to atone for it with some gesture.
I expect that she will apologize as well, because the conflict did not arise solely due to my fault.

I defend myself emphatically, even though it may have consequences.
I will let him express himself and accept his perspective, even if I disagree with it.
I will find a way to show him later that he was wrong, but without direct confrontation.

I am trying to understand why he questioned me and what he is trying to achieve.
I don't pay attention to that – I know what I can do.
