WAYS OF DEALING WITH PEOPLE WHO TRY TO PUT YOU DOWN.

This is something that I really wanted to look into so I did some research on on a website called Daily motivation. Here is what I found.

7 steps to deal with people:

1. Don’t Get Mad: You then become them and could provoke them more.
2. Empathize with them: You can flip the switch by saying kind words to them and winning a friend.
3. Breathe In: Take a deep breath and allow yourself to see the bigger picture and to see that their words have little to do with you.
4. Acknowledge their opinion: If they criticized you or your works harshly be the bigger person by acknowledging the views.
5. Laugh at the attempt: Laugh it off in my head not out loud. The laughing out loud could provoke them.
6. Ignore Them: It is not your responsibility to teach grownups manners. Make peace with that and move on.
7. Politely Disagree: You don’t have to get in to a big thing about it. If someone says something insulting you can simply say, “No I disagree” and change the subject. If you can’t change the subject then end the conversation.
