How to use "Back down" in context?
When we feel backed into a corner, our natural instinct is to charge forward, to take whatever action is necessary to resolve the situation. This is often referred to as "backing down."
Backing down does not mean capitulating to the other person's demands. Rather, it means choosing a less confrontational option that will still achieve our goal.
When we're backed into a corner, our natural instinct is to take whatever action is necessary to resolve the situation. However, this can often back us into a worse situation. Instead, we should choose a less confrontational option that will still achieve our goal.
