<human>:  How can I make sure my outside interactions with people stay positive, even when others are being aggressive?
<bot>: A good way to ensure your interactions with others stay positive is to practice active listening. Actively listen to what they have to say, acknowledge what they are saying, and then thoughtfully respond to their points with empathy and understanding. Keeping a cool demeanor and patiently addressing their concerns can help de-escalate any potential aggression. Additionally, avoid responding to their aggression with more aggression, as this could further escalate the situation.
