Answer
- I hear what you’re saying, but try to see it from my point of view.
- That’s not what I meant at all. You’re twisting my words.
- I think we’ve got our wires crossed. That wasn’t my intention at all.
- Hey, chill! There’s no need to raise your voice. I can hear you perfectly well.
- I’ve obviously done something to upset you, so I think we should clear the air.
- OK. You’ve made your point and I heard you. Now can we just move on? / Can we just move on now?
- Sorry, that came out all wrong. Just pretend I didn’t say that.
- Alright! Calm down! It’s not the end of the world!
- It’s done. Just forget about it. There’s no point crying over spilt milk.
- We’re getting nowhere here. We’re just going round in circles. Can we just agree to disagree?
