In order to improve relationship with others, you need to be aware of several sensible ways to complain. 1 , you need to be specific. Don’t say, “Boy, did you 2 like a fool at the party?” Instead, say, “You embarrassed me by getting 3 and loud and telling offensive jokes to my parents.” Secondly, stick to the present. Don’t mention old offences from last month or last year. By doing this, you 4 attention from the problem at hand. Moreover, 5 you complain, don’t add insults. If you start calling the other person names, that will 6 create anger and hurt any chance of getting the person to really 7 you. A last point to remember is to complain privately. Never criticize the other person in front of friends, parents, children, or anyone else, for that 8 . Criticizing in front of a third party has the same effect as 9 . This shames the person being criticized and makes it very likely that the person will want to attack you orally rather than listen to you.Sensible ways to Complain:Be specificStick to the present 10 Complain privately
