Getting what you want
We all are in some way deceiving. It may be towards our parents, teachers, siblings, and maybe even coaches. Each of us have different ways. I, myself use techniques like bribing, and negotiating. For instance if a coach tells me to run 7 laps, i'll say "If i run 5 in less then 6 minutes, can i only run 5?" These types of things only occasionally work. What methods do you use? How well do they work?

Something I notice myself doing is that I will sugar coat something bad that I have done when telling my parents, for instance if I'm going to a party that I know is not in the "ideal environment" i'll say, "Well, they're really nice, and they've never gotten in trouble and I know they live in a bad neighborhood and there are a lot of kids there that don't go to my school, but it's just a LITTLE party, nothing major!
ReplyDeleteI simply use a different wording that might sound like one thing but is in fact completely different, then when they try to counter this, I just point out how they are wrong and then they are just frustrated, and I know when to give up on a person.
