What do you do when you become uncomfortable during a conversation?

Based on your learning, answer the following questions:

Which topic of conversation makes you uncomfortable? What is the topic? Do you know

why you find it difficult to talk about this topic?

Conversation is the informal way of exchanging ideasbetween two people ora group of

people. Thisexchange might be in formofcommunication by spoken words or oral

communication among other ways. The efficiency of conversation always depends on the topic

ofdiscussion andat some situations; the topic ofcommunication might make someone feel

uncomfortable. In my casefor instance, the topic about diseases and death usually makesmefeel

so uncomfortable. The reason thatmakes me notto wantto listen this specific topic is that, all

kind of illness and death are always a downer and I don’t prefer reflecting too much on this. An

example of a sentence in conversation thatwillmake so uncomfortable is, “hmm, Idon’t know

how it will be when I get sick or suddenly get an accident and die.”

What do you do when you become uncomfortable during a conversation? Do you

withdraw? Do you try to change the topic? Do you speak louder or softer? Do you begin to

gesticulate?

If I develop uncomfortable feelings in a conversation, the best thing I will do is to think

very critically and come up with a new topic. The new topic will be of a different context with

the one I am uncomfortable. I don’t withdraw from the conversation because this may make the

other party feels so bad or offended but instead just change the topic. Neither will I plan to

gesticulate in such situation.

Have you had an occasion to talk to a very persuasive or very aggressive person? If you

and this person hold different opinions, can you hold to your position? Are you easily “led”

in a conversation?
