Re: Now I understand 'Have a Conversation'

In response to the original post:

In my CHL class, we went over conflict avoidance. One thing we read was about mental states in a conversation. There are 3 states: Parent, Child, Adult.

The best conversation is Adult-Adult, as you will avoid conflicts. It sounds like your neighbor wanted to have a Parent-Child conversation. Good on you for keeping you Adult hat on. If he had just come to you as an Adult as well, it would have been much better.
