Ways to Lessen The Threat #4

Here is another way on how to become more at cause over the dangerous environment:

4. Find Something That Isn’t Hostile to You
There are people who feel as if everybody in the environment is hostile to them.
For a person like this, there is another technique that will lessen his fears.
One could ask any of several different questions, depending upon the situation. Examples of these are:
“Find something people say or do around here that isn’t hostile to you.”
“Is there one person in the company who isn’t actively hostile to you?”
“Is there anything said today that wasn’t directly and immediately hostile to you?”
Ask the person one of the above questions (or a similar question with a wording more appropriate to the person’s situation). For example, ask him, “Is there one person in the company who isn’t actively hostile to you?”

Continue this until the person feels better, is happier and has had a realization about himself, the environment or life in general.
