Learn to not shy away from confrontation (read all 2 entries…)
A guy at my office 1 week ago

who’s a bit on the high-strung side was complaining to me about his work and made an aggressive gesture. I wasn’t in any danger, and he was standing across the room. Even though it wasn’t a “threat,” it was aggressive. I called him on it. “Don’t make threatening gestures towards me.” and he said “Oh, I see, you’re in a bad mood.” (Classic). I took up for myself again, calmly and assertively: “No, I’m not in a bad mood, I just don’t like when people make threatening gestures. Please don’t do it again.” I should have said the please the first time around, I think an extra dose of politeness when you’re being assertive is helpful.
