Two kinds of responses can be aroused when
there is a threat to your safety.
1.Alarm Reaction: When you are assaulted verbally by
either a superior or a co-worker, how do you react. Can
you handle the situation in a cool and composed
manner?
Definitely not. [If it is a physical attack you might try to fight
or flee]. But in an organisation or social network there is
no leverage to fight or take flight. Instead there is a need
to find an alternative mechanism to fight this evil.

This is the second response or reaction that
crops up when we get acclamatised to the
sitauation.

For example, seeing a dog in your friend's house for the
first time can cause shivers. Eventually you get used to
it and may even become pals with it.
Assertive communication is the key to manage stressful
situations and you should be able to justify your actions
on the light of the situation.
