Provocation

Provocation creates a reaction that is later presented as the sole cause of the conflict. A person is interrupted, insulted, deprived of sleep, or followed from room to room; recording begins only when he finally loses control.

The cause is cut out of the account. A convenient image remains: a raised voice, an angry message, a slammed door. The provocateur claims the calm role and presents the response as proof that the partner is dangerous.

Provocation does not excuse retaliatory violence. It explains why another person must not be allowed to control your conduct.

End the conversation before the outburst. State the condition for continuing: no insults, shouting, or pursuit. Move to a public or safe place. In serious disputes, preserve the complete correspondence and timeline rather than one convenient fragment.

Your task is not to win a staged scene. Your task is to refuse the assigned part.
