Most of the times i am a calm person and i try to interpret most things positively and i try not to get mad over everything.

I don't know, I definitely need to listen to advice from other people because it's hard for me to stay calm in arguments. I wouldn't say that I'm angry, but I don't accept when people don't believe me, because I argue only when I'm sure I'm right

I simply tune them out, the parts that I feel are annoying, I tune them out so I won't have to think about it.

It is great to know that you can maintain your composure during a heated argument, especially since some people can resort to physical violence in such situations.

Silence is the key. Once the argument is becoming increasingly difficult and i see i can't make the other person to understand, i close my mouth.

Don't ever let it get personal.

I just recently had to kick out a roommate for harassing (a) my other roommate and (b) myself.
While our voices got heated and raised, I never let things get personal.
