Handling unfamiliar situations/ surprises

[Life-Trainee]

What's a best way to handle unexpected situations? I have a problem with such, where my mind just suspends under emotional pressure as i'm trying to come up with a rational reaction. Usually I'm not good at that. I've been DJing local clubs recently and was put in such situtations where I had to deal with unpleasantless coming from guys. Most of the time I was lost for words. Damn analytical mind.

Remember to ALWAYS stay cool, calm and collected. Seriously, if you get pissed off, nervous, anxious, frightened, ready to scream etc... this is fine.. they are all natural emotions. Just dont SHOW these emotions.

You gotta stay chill regardless of the situation at hand. Dont panic and keep your wits about you.

So if a guy is talking sh1t to you, just look him in the eyes for a good 5 seconds to prove your not scared. Then turn and walk away. Its just not worth it.

Or offer him a beer... "Hey man, chill out! No need to get pissed off. Tell you what, you let me in on your awesome abilities at picking up women, and I'll buy you a beer!" with a smirk. This should knock 'em off guard. A likely response from them would be to accuse you of being a fag; simply shrug your shoulders, and walk over to some hot *****, introduce yourself, and ask them if they agree with what he said. A) Another likely response would be that they might just settle down and reconsider their actions. You've got an analytical mind, right? Well, use it! Put yourself in those situations, and think about what you could've done, and what you think the response would be. I often find myself playing out situations in my mind just to see how to react in those certain situations. It's pre-planning!

I read a good quote when I was a kid...don't know where it came from..but I think it relates..

"Act Brave...even if you REALLY AREN'T...no one can tell the difference."
