Rodrigo and Ethan are not great friends, but they hang out in the same group of friends. Rodrigo is really upset by something that Ethan said, and he wants to bring it up with Ethan. Given that this will likely be a tense conversation, what would be the BEST way to have it?

A tense conversation is usually best handled in person, where Rodrigo and Ethan can hear each other’s tone and see facial expressions. This makes it easier to understand each other and clear up misunderstandings. Text or public social media can make conflict worse, and a phone call lacks visual cues.
