Question

what ways can you positive influence someones reaction towards someone who was arrogant and disrecpectful to them by making them forgive and forget the situation.

Answer 1

Being arrogant and disrespectful can be due to channeling of anger on someone due to someone else entirely. In such situations where the person showing such attitude is well known acquaintance of yours, you should show maturity and try and change a mood and atmosphere in the heated room a little.

For doing so you should distract your group's attention to anything else, be a cop chasing a thief outside cafeteria, new release of your favourite movie production, investigation proceedings of in talk crime, etc. The idea is to control the rage that might sabotage an existing or potential relationship with others and seen wise in the group in doing so. It take a child's brain to rage and that of a wise man to stop a quarrel. Not only in this situation but in any tough situation we must not loose our cool in taking actions, as it determines your social position in the neighborhood.

You should try forgiving the individual and still apologize so that he may forget about everything and the mood is lightened and other topics are discussed on the table.
