When you use the language of acquisition, no one is going to take that positively. Rather they are likely to take it as an offence and that will direct them to go on the defensive. There is a weaker possibility of solving the issue amicably. They are then less likely to engage themselves in any attempts to resolve the situation. It is wise and suggested to give an accurate picture, detailed account of what has occurred in a positive tone. Then will help to prevent any awkward situation that is likely to arise. If you are not sure of some of the details, say the exact thing that you could perceive.

Learn to Listen Actively

7. There is a saying , 'Silence is Better Than Speech'. Listening actively is a positive attitude. Learning the habit of listening actively gets an upper hand to solve any issue without further aggravation.

When you develop a 'Positive Mindset' , you will be able to realise and understand the problem itself better in details. This is important because it provides with the opportunity to correct any misunderstandings. This ensures that one can pursue a solution based on facts rather than miscommunications or misconceptions.

Course Of Action (COA)
