Their aim might well be to make you feel a bit sorry for them. So, don’t let yourself feel sympathy for this “acting performance”. Understand that it’s often a pre-planned, standard practice to lower your aspirations. Try asking for a time out without offering a reason or response. Then you can come back with another way of making your same proposal!
....they suddenly demand more than you have already agreed?
Again, it’s important to keep your cool in such provocative situations. So, don’t react with either anger or other negative emotions of any kind. Do smile pensively. Then, ask for a time out to consider the matter with “others”. This gives you a chance to respond only after thinking the situation through carefully. Finally, try and find something positive you can do rather than simply to offer a negative response
…if they raise the demand again....
It’s time for a bit of acting on your part (or your reaction might be genuine): suggest sorrowfully that the whole deal might fail in such circumstances. However, don’t appear to be allocating blame – you are showing sadness – not anger or frustration. Also, keep a pleasant, wistful manner throughout. Then, if necessary, take the right to start from scratch in these “changed circumstances”
