Turn Dismissiveness Around: Words that Command Respect
Someone brushes off their rude comments with, “It was just a joke.” Or they tell you, “Don’t take it personally,” or, “You’re too sensitive.”
These comments might seem small. But they can slowly tear down your self-esteem.
The good news? You don’t have to let them shake you.
In this episode, I’m sharing 3 simple ways to respond to dismissive comments.
These strategies will help you protect your self-esteem, stand your ground, and respond to dismissive comments with confidence.

    I am trying to fade out someone atm - it’s been about 3 years of not contacting them and they still don’t get it - I should do this method in this video but I fear the ‘why’s’ and anger and confusion. I just want it to fizzle out and go away but they are periodically persistent and don’t seem to care that they are the only one that keeps in any contact - I can’t deal with the agro of saying I don’t want to be friends as they will ask why - I just want them to give up but years are passing even tho I literally do nothing - nothing … I have no idea why someone wouldn’t give up on a one sided relationship… I really dislike arguments or why’s when I just want it for myself … I just want different people around me - not them

    Legit had a church “leader” who use to disparage the entire congregation and call it a “joke”. Having this ammo would’ve changed everything.

    A question I have. When being harshly criticized I do get very defensive because I dogeza very offended. So I jump right in the argument. When I can't deal with it anymore I quit talking to that person for a day or two. How can I stop being so defensive so quickly?

    My husband will gaslight then play the victim. He'll say...."You're never happy, I don't know what happened to you to make you like this, Fine.....I can never do anything right. You always bring up the negative". We've been struggling with this for a long time. I told him I need him to paraphrase some of my feelings regarding the talked about subject. I'm not asking him to make this huge apology and "kiss me feet"....I want to be acknowledged and heard. He'll beat himself down which I don't like, of course, but it would be nice if he took some responsibility.

    You're so on point. I lived with a person who would always gaslight me and say, " I can't speak to you right now cuz you are coming at me too hot." When all I was doing was trying to have a conversation. Don't live with this person any longer. Thank goodness. I feel free now. Thank you for giving out this information and being helpful.

    I love your podcasts and has helped me alot. On this topic? What would you suggest when ive tried ALL of what you recommended and the person just won't stop? They want a responce, they keep on or bugging me and more?. I am a person to look at all sides, enjoy educating myself and opening my perspective. Reguardless of my views or opinions?, I do belive we can ( agree to disagree). And that we all have a right to our own opinions. This person is my hubs of 23yrs now and does ABSOLUTELY all to annoy me to get a response that ends up with him telling me!? How im( insert word). It's exaustiexhausting!. Especially when I ask his basis on the topic? It's always ( OPO) plagorising what others have said but NOT truly understanding or allowing( I look at things differently) as he knows, an uses when suits him. I am not like the rest that either agree with him? For whatever reasons. If I don't? I'll say( I look at it differently, I have a different opinion, an so on.) Then get the( CAN YOU PROVE IT) Comment. So I do an still doesn't stop him. I can't just up an leave because he usually starts when I'm doing something that NEEDS to be done. And he will just bring up again or someway else to annoy me,till I respond. I can't just listen an say 👍. He wants MY input, to then insult me. Besides becoming deaf? How do you deal with someone who JUST won't stop?. Thank you for your time. BLESS🙏🌻

    Hi Jefferson, thank you for all your awesome advice. Do you have a suggestion for me on how to deal with a very strong, overwhelming personality. She gets adamant and loud when she doesn’t get her way. Also, she is always talking, rarely listening, because only HER stories seem to be important, impressive or funny. Unfortunately she is part of a big circle of friends and it would be sad for me to remove myself. I realize I can’t control her, buy what can I say to make her realize that she needs to be less selfish. Thank you.

    Don’t say much of anything. Let them live with their comment. If you have to say something, say - it’s ok. you’re so dry, it’s hard to tell if you’re trying to be funny or just being rude. Do you get that a lot?

    It's OK to be sensitive. "You're too sensitive." "Yup, and you should be more careful."

    @richellepeace4457 3 години тому

    I appreciate your take but you are showing too much grace to narcissistic passive aggressive people. The second you match them with a smile on your face they will back off. Match them, attack what they love which is usually their image or their seed which they can't separate themselves from. They will stop...

    Please, think about investing in a real set. It's hard to take anybody serious that's sitting in a car with a car seat behind them. First impressions are everything, a video that looks like it's an oh, by the way, here's kind of a few thoughts before I head into a store... that doesn't really build confidence that you're about to give professional counseling advice and I need to subscribe to your channel. I appreciate you, I'm honestly just trying to drive more traffic to your channel.

    What what do you say to a person? Who calls you a “Dingus?” he says it’s just a term of endearment. It’s insulting to me and I don’t want to be defensive anymore about it every time he says it. I’ve even told him to start saying that and he continues to do that. When he said that to me in a doctors office in front of a nurse, I walked out of the room and went directly to my car.
