how do you get someone to listen to you if they are reallly mad?

Answer 1

Let them calm down, otherwise its just arguing...and thats when ppl settle for less in a conversation

Answer 2

If you would like someone to "hear" you without interupting you (chances of this are high, particularly if they're mad), simply change your communication medium; e-mail or write them a letter! The downside of this is that there is a permaenet record of what you say, so think long and hard not only about what you write in your draft, but also about how you write what you write. That wasn't a typo; I say draft because you don't want to press the "send" button or drop a letter in the mailbox until you are well sure you meant what you wrote and how you wrote it. Simply write a draft and make sure to "sleep on it" before sending it as this help you to better articulate your thoughts. Good luck!

Answer 3

Just give them some space and after a few days give them a call. Let them calm down a little bit. That's the best thing to do. If you try to talk to them while they're are still mad then the two of you will end up fighting more. Good luck with resolving whatever is going on.

Answer 4

one way is to give them acooling off period try 30mins if that doesnt seem like enough time leave it alone for a little longer or you could be the bigger person and go up to them and say iam sorry first and that no matter what the fight was about that you still love that person it is that you have a differant view than they do and may we continue the disscussion at a later time.

Answer 5

validate their feelings by telling them you understand that they are angry, and you want to try and work things out mAYBE THEY WILL LISTEN THEN, THEN OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO LISTEN BACK... NO TALKING JUST LISTEN AND MORE IMPORTANTLY HEAR WHAT THEY ARE SAYING

Answer 6

Answer 7

no use they'll never forgive you
