How to convince others without wearing a mask in public places?

A few people don't wear masks in public places, which will make others in the closed space a little uneasy and worried, and some even produce anger, disgust or excessive behavior. Faced with such a scene, it is difficult for us to change others, but we can adjust ourselves. First, be clear about your emotions and whether you are overly anxious. Seeing someone not wearing a mask in public, we are worried about being infected and angry at each other's behavior. These are normal emotions and we should accept them. However, if our mood is very high, we have the impulse to attack each other, or we are very anxious and worry repeatedly about whether we will be infected after going back, then we need to realize whether our mood is in line with the status quo and whether there is the possibility of excessive anxiety. If so, please try to relax yourself and hint to yourself: "I have taken protective measures and will not be infected" to stabilize my emotions and observe my physical symptoms for a period of time. If you find that this anxiety makes you unable to concentrate on your work or even affect your sleep, you can seek professional help. Second, understand the behavior of others and stabilize your emotions. We are angry, disgusted and attacked by the behavior of "not wearing a mask in public", because it may pose a threat to our own health, and because we can't understand other people's behavior, it is often simply attributed to reasons such as "lack of quality" and "deliberately coming out to harm people".

Persuade each other with understanding and care:

We don't know what others are like, but this doesn't prevent us from communicating with others in a tone of understanding and concern. You can also add a little humor and self-deprecation, which may make it easier to resolve the embarrassment and preparedness of strangers. For example, "Hey, I feel sulky when I wear a mask, but I respond to the government's call"; "There are dozens of masks, which are really expensive, but they can only be treated in special periods."

Try to avoid criticism:

Even if you are sure that the other party is doing something wrong, try not to criticize and convince others, because this will activate the other party's psychological defense and increase unnecessary communication difficulties. After all, as a citizen with a big picture, our purpose is not to criticize, but to ask the other party to wear a mask. We must defeat the pneumonia virus. So don't put the cart before the horse and forget the original intention, but pay attention to your own mentality and take the ultimate goal as the guide.

Persuade, but don't force:

As ordinary passengers, we have the right to suggest, but we have no compulsory authority. When our persuasion fails, we can ask the subway security personnel to handle it. Although it is true that you can't enter without a mask, it is still the same sentence. It may be much better for security personnel to say it than for us to force others. After all, this is their right.

Do not forget the purpose of persuasion:

Originally, we set out from the truth to achieve a positive goal, but in the end we may forget this initial intention, and the focus will unconsciously become I want to win. I want to prove that I am right. You must listen to me. This kind of subconscious change may not be noticed by ourselves. In dealing with people, if we want to achieve positive intentions, we must follow the laws of human nature. So try not to activate the other person's psychological defense wall, because strong emotions will force the other person to retreat, which is more difficult to convince.
