8 ways to handle tension after an argument.

#3 Don’t overanalyze the argument

After an argument, we often feel the need to justify our reactions and examine the root of the argument. Going over the causes of disagreement, and clearing up misunderstandings is helpful to a certain degree. But on the flip side, it won’t allow you to move on and return to normalcy.

What’s more, it runs the risk of reigniting the argument. So, be cautious and keep it to a minimum. Accept that arguments and misunderstandings happen, and if it doesn’t need to be discussed further, then don’t! Banish the awkward silence, and focus on returning to normalcy as quickly as possible, and that should be your main priority.
