Identifying the tactic will dilute it. It will enable you to more effectively go to the balcony to consider your next move. Looking for unfair tactics does not mean being overly suspicious but rather attuned to people's behavior. It is possible to misunderstand others' behavior. It becomes critical, therefore, not jump to conclusions when observing behavior but to keep a mental record of what is being said and done.
Adversarial people tend to use more than one tactic.
Try to keep an accurate count on your feelings in dealing with adversarial people. This will help to prevent you from losing control and reacting to their tactics. Simply take a break or tell a story to reduce the tension. Finally, never make decisions in the heat of the moment. Instead, make it a point to go the balcony and make your decisions there.
