Can you talk when you are emotional

I have observed a lot of people in a sensitive arguments they get choked and fail to present themselves even though they have valid points to uphold their arguments. BY getting chocked they tend to loose the arguments in most of the time. Have you ever faced this problem ? What is the best solution to avoid this ?

This happens to a lot of people. When they stop using logic and start allowing their emotions to rule then they have already lost, even if they are right. The best thing to do is take a deep breath and try to gain control of the situation. There have been situations where it is not possible to walk away because the issue has to be resolved immediately. That was on the job, and it was an issue of authority and security in the midst of rule breaking and insubordination. It usually resulted in getting a lot of backup fast in order to avoid violence. In ordinary life we have the luxury of being able to set differences aside long enough to come back to the issue later after everyone has calmed down, and this is generally this best solution.

When I get emotional , I always end up crying and this makes me even more upset with myself as I don't want to cry in front of someone and then am not able to think about what it was that I had planned to say . You always end up thinking after it is over about what you could have said or how you could have handled it better or differently but it is then too late . I don't know what would be a good solution in being able to handle this type of situation as I have yet to figure out how to calm myself down so that I don't feel this way lol .
