Listen Actively

Listening is one of the greatest weapons to resolve the conflict. Like how you have a point to say, listen to others on what they really wanted to say.

Control Emotions

Speaking in anger or frustration is a bad strategy to resolve the conflict. You do not think logical and open to listening when you are emotional. Control your emotions and formulate the points by thinking logically and convince others without hurting.

Focus on the Present

Do not focus on the past, focus on the present. When you conflict with roommate, do not speak about the past conflicts you had with that person. Speaking about the past conflicts with your roommates will never resolve the conflict and conclude. This will hurt your roommate and situation will go personal.
