“Being conciliatory means trying to get what is fair for everyone involved. But why should we be conciliatory when other people don’t seem to be concerned about our feelings? The answer is that being conciliatory increases your chances of getting what you want. It gives you power. It also lets you avoid the stress and agitation that come
with a bad-tempered exchange or an escalation of conflict. It is in your interests to be conciliatory. While sometimes it may seem easier to lash out and say what’s on your mind, ultimately this doesn’t help you to get what you want. Conciliatory communication
enables you to avoid stress and to get your needs met more often.”
