Social Recalibration - Diplomacy | Negotiation

There is an art of social jungle. It is an interdependent world, but people care for themselves only. Everyday I deal with dozen of people, sometime it is easy and simple. Other time I just yield. I usually keep my end of the deal, but that doesn’t make other person do the same. In most of the deal other person just want bigger deal and gets it, as I don’t know how to handle the conflicts and stuff like these.

People start to play these games, start to blame, become intellectually righteous. Cut me off in the middle of the conversation, becoming non-verbally abusive. Using all kind of responsibility avoiding manipulative tricks , Now that I can see all this, it is not acceptable.

They ask how much is your package, what is your age, say no, seems to make it tense, saying yes demonstrate the weakness. This happens in all the relationship. Diplomatically negotiating with self cantered people, niether yielding nor abusing, calm but firm and political when it asks for that.

This is something I am lacking at the moment. Negotiation and diplomatic conversation with self centred people. Something like Obama.
