    You’re going to come across some conversational bullies in the course of your life. Generally, people try to shut them down with insults and aggression, and some others prefer to walk away from these interactions to avoid that kind of negativity.
    But there is a third, potentially more effective way to deal with these toxic people. Russell Brand, for instance, tries to take control of the conversation instead of shutting it down. This allows him to stand up for himself without coming across like a jerk. His interview with three hosts at the MSNBC morning show is a perfect example of the main strategies that you can use to dominate any bully in any conversation.

      Is it intentional that you uploaded this video with the exact same title as the one that was about Joe Rogan? (Instead of calling it "How to Deal with Disrespect Without Being a Jerk", or "How to Command Respect Without Being A Jerk, Vol II")
      You openly stated that you're being experimental with your thumbnail and video title, so I feel like this might be an intentional experiment.

      A great fresh topic to cover could be the art of charisma through language barriers. I'm about to embark on my own journey for 2 years abroad, and can't imagine what it's like to authentically connect with people who you can't fully understand or communicate with. I've heard you touch on the subject of enthusiasm as it relates to this, but I think it would be valuable to hear you do a deep dive, given your experience living abroad.

    As a child I witnessed a man insult my friend's mother in front of a whole group of her friends. There was a very awkward silence while she just looked at him, then she smiled and said very loudly, 'how very unkind of you to say so', and then she just carried on talking to her friends. The man was totally humiliated and slunk away. Brilliant!

      Xlnt recount. As a friend was becoming increasingly more abrasive with me, I suddenly stopped listening respectfully, looked her directly in both eyes, and said coldly " You can never talk this way to me again." It stunned her mid-sentence, she was silent, almost frozen for 8 to 10 seconds as I held eye contact, and she re-animated and said "You're right. I'm sorry, you didn't deserve that." Things have been on a more even keel since then, but we'll see. I don't need an apology nor any capitulation or "a win"...I simply want certain parameters of engagement to be followed when talking with friends. If I wanted a fight, I'd go to a bar, where it's acceptable for conversations to escalate quickly to shouting and insults. But not ever with friends or family. Proximity and emotional investment do not necessarily open the gates to intentional injury or agenda-based attacks. If we are in a relationship where we would normally be open and caring, it is not okay to use that proximity and closeness as a weapon or entree to deeper nerves and more painful attacks, which is exactly what happens in most self- consuming love/hate relationships. Taking advantage of that intimacy to hurt someone is against the rules, and simply, openly shows how immature that person's real feelings are toward the relationship. It is a hard lesson to learn and many relationships don't survive that growth process. Adults still have a need for internal growth, and need to learn the lessons of forgiveness, patience, and perspective with their families, friends, lovers, and even strangers. Simply not accepting bad behavior is a step toward a better relationship. But it can also be a step toward no relationship, too. Some people we just grow away from, or grow out of. Others we grow toward and often, we grow with each other. The garden analogy fits especially well when dealing with weeds and chronically destructive behavior. Encourage fruitful, healthy behavior and relationships, expect little or no returns from weeds and corrosive others. If we give respect, love, compassion, patience and positivity, and get none in return, it may be time for a "lesson"...but likely it's time to "lessen" our own burden and "listen" to our gut...move on. There are far better things to do than to try to change others' behavior and habitual negativity. Fix or forget...like an old car or classic stereo. It doesn't really matter how much you love it, it may be beyond fixing, and you may simply be in love with an image or an idea, rather than the reality. Keep the dream, toss the reality? I love old friends and old cars and hifis. Guess which ones are easier to maintain. Aye, there's the wicket! Cheers!

    I've been told my whole life that I look intimidating. But what they were referring to, is my habit of making people nervous by not responding when I think someone is lying, instead I just looking at them intently. I realized years ago that if I just stared and didn't speak, the person would get nervous and start chattering. That chatter is what I was looking for, and would help me ferret out the truth.

    I’m a cashier at an estate sale company. So weekly i deal with tons of people who want to pay little to nothing for whatever they have in mind and usually try to talk down to you. I’m glad seeing this video and showed me I actually learned a lot of these practices on my own, such as ignoring rude people and not letting them interrupt my speech. I see others in similar situations say they find themselves checking out emotionally but I do the exact opposite when faced with aggression/ malice I try to to pretend they didn’t say anything but simple facts. Such as when people ask the price of an item and I tell them “$5” they love to respond with something like “$5? I can buy them brand new for that much!” To which I reply we’ll that one is $5. Rather than ignoring them I acknowledge what they said without giving them a single inch toward their statement. I’ve had several people stand next to my register repeatedly asking “why not $3?” And I just ignore them. If I reply it’s “$5” and nothing else. Don’t let people build imaginary power over you!

    I've always instinctively had a very blank facial response when people would attacked me verbally. As I've been doing this more recently, with my sister, I've noticed that she tends to tell me the whole truth (and usually ends up talking herself in a circle, realizing holes in her own argument) when I just keep my mouth shut for a little bit. It seems to have the same effect as "practicing" what you're going to say to an inanimate object. The second she senses any sort of reaction in me, she changes her speech, and doesn't say what she wants to say, but rather, reactions to my reaction. Sometimes it feels impossible to have a civil conversation with her, so I've adapted to the fact that if I let her talk for long enough, she usually realizes that she's the one in the wrong, and I barely have to say a thing.

      It's not the amount of behaviour, it's the amount of signals. Signals ARE countable. A signal; one signal. The word 'signal' doesn't describe a descrete thing. Behaviour is more abstract. So I'm pretty sure 'fewer' is the most correct word in the context of 'signals'.

Its obviously an extreme (I'd say impossible) to say someone doesn't have an ego at all (even if its near entirely removed from the perspective they have of the world) and I think that's what makes this strangely complicated and almost impossible to talk about logically.

    I absolutely agree with eye contact - making the person feel watched (there have been studies where they put stickers of eyes in public places and observed a raise in moral and pro-social behavior). Also the silence, making the person feel the urge to fill the gap, usually making themselves look worse, or trying to back pedal.
    The thing about calling a person by their name I think also has the effect of breaking through the barrier of them feeling safer by being a part of the group. I think it would make them feel less protected and more directly culpable. Not just them enjoying hearing their name.

    It takes A LOT of training, patience and charity to do this, but it is possible. It is necessary to really LISTEN with your ears, but also your HEART, with an open demeanor and friendly feeling.
    It means to develop charisma for the person speaking and not to whatever he's speaking.

It was humiliating.

    Detaching from your ego, is the single most important thing you can do to boost your charisma. Most of the behaviors you wish to develop - or get rid of - will naturally be fixed when you aren't concerned with protecting your ego. That's how you become truly authentic.

    • @annerison
      @annerison 4 роки тому +4

      Truth. Alan Watts said that when the ego is about to be revealed it automatically identifies with your higher self. In other words detaching from the ego, allows you to be your authentic self. All that detachment is, is realizing that the things people may judge or criticize you for, do not define you. Simply not responding to or defending yourself from personal attacks is a way to accomplish this, as Russell does so expertly here.

    1. Finish your sentences. Don't stop midway.
    2. Refer everyone by their name. Look at them for 3 seconds when speaking to someone
    3. Emphasize similarities with others and complement them.
    4. Use non verbal signal. Good signals (smiling at them, complementing them) encourage their behavior. Bad ones (not paying attention to them, giving them uncomfortable looks) tells them to stop something.
    5. Call out bad behavior but don't point out the person specifically. Give them the chance to change the behavior.
    6. Flat out criticize the behavior if the last one doesn't work. Criticize the behavior, not the person.
    7. Detach your ego from personal attacks.

    Also if someone else comes in to listen, look at them too. This makes people feel comfortable and want to engage.
    The opposite is true if you don't involve them and they tend to become disinterested and start their own conversation with someone else...

I've had people complaining for two minutes straight until they realise that I'm not responding to any of what they are saying, so they pause and then say "well, I know this is not your fault but I really thought that you should let you boss know that this is not okay". Then all you have to say is "I completely understand where your frustration is coming from. Now let's see what I can do for you." And they are suddenly wery nice :D

    I practice the "finish your sentence" when interrupted and people do usually take it more serious and hear me out. I switch to a deeper chest tone of voice to overpower their vocal bass so it's not shouting but rather increasing the vocal weight. The interrupter usually have poor communication skills or less respect or familiarity with you. Continue anyways because others are usually still interested and often also annoyed by the interruption.

      I try to continue my sentence but sometimes it gets confusing to hear two sentences at once. I almost have to plug my ears to avoid losing track of what I'm saying. I'm obviously not going to do that, and I have a comparatively small voice so it doesn't usually help me to get louder. So I just switch my focus from external to internal and basically talk to myself until I finish. I guess it really is the best response to being interrupted, even if it doesn't mean keeping the talking stick.

    I just wanted to chime in my two cents here and say that one of these pieces of advice stands out to me as something that just seems like good social etiquette completely outside of the conversation about Charisma. The idea of positively reinforcing behaviour you want to see more of without being condescending or passive aggressive I think is something we need to put a lot more thought into in our daily lives, having been on both sides of a confrontation I feel like a lot of people feel extremely uncomfortable and vulnerable in changing their attitudes and approaches. Refusing to give any acknowledgement or worse making them feel small and submissive for doing so only serves to make them feel like there was no point in making that gesture and they should simply go back to the previous attitude they felt more comfortable in.
    If someone is already willing to humble themselves for wronging you, more often than not humbling them further just becomes abusive and damaging to the conversation, welcome and appreciate the effort.

I told you I could get her to touch me." They all laughed, but I acted like I didn't hear them (which was impossible, we were all in a fairly tiny room), so the dude who made the joke half-repeated it to cut through the awkwardness. I waited another beat and then said only loud enough for him to hear, "I heard you. I'm just not laughing." Then I made eye contact with him and told him to go stand with the other guys so I could take the picture. He wouldn't look at me for the rest of the event and did EVERYTHING I told him to, immediately.

    2) Treat each member of group as an individual (use their names) and give eye contact
    3) emphasize similarities with other members and give genuine compliments
    4) calm stare in eye, dont pay attention to the person being mean and make it TENSE with stares and dont speak until they change to nice
    5) call out behavior you appreciate and smile and engage with that behavior in enthusiastic ways
    6) get rid of conversational tension ONLY when people change topic to nicer conversation
    7) pay attention to nice members of a group and ignore rude ones
    10) talk about behavior you dont like but dont call them out directly
    11) Detach ego from personal attacks, and dont defend your ego or yourself MAKES YOU MORE CONFIDENT you are ENOUGH without opinions of others!

      I oftent interrupt if I want to respond to what a person has said, and I let someone interrupt if I see they want to respond. If I feel I didn't finish my thought, I just continue talking and usually the other person quiets down. I expect the same, but if I notice that the person never finishes what they say, I will either stop interrupting (or apologise and let them finish if I do it unintentionally) or explain that I expect them to continue talking if they really didn't finish the sentence. Personally I like being interrupted because it shows the other person is engaged in what I'm saying, but obviously it'd be annoying if it kept happening constantly because the other person only wants to hear themselves talk.

      @@Nobody-hg1tk having a high EQ is the complete opposite of a sociopath you conspiracy paranoid dingus. Sociopaths and psychopaths are completely devoid of emotion and empathy/EQ. Russell is also eccentric and over the top and may come across as odd to basics like yourself but that's because individuals with ADHD tend to behave in that way.
