I often wonder how I could possibly be of the same species as the reptiles who live to prey upon those they judge to be weaker & more vulnerable than themselves. My heart is so large & full of kindness & I have no “comebacks” on the ready - ever -to defend myself with. I wish I lived in a world where I didn’t need to. I bet you do, too. I hear the pain in your comment as I know it well. I don’t know you, but I care about you anyway. I have your back and love you for all the wonderful things you are. Brontë .

    today at work my abusive coworker (i work only with her and my boss (who is absolutely wonderful)) rudely stated she didn’t care when i tried to start a friendly conversation and i instantly responded “i’m allowed to speak” she was flabbergasted and struggled to justify herself to which i replied, “well you can just say ‘oh’ rather than say that you ‘don’t care’” she was SILENT. i was shocked with how quickly i responded and how concise i was without being rude back, it was just very a matter of fact statement that couldn’t be argued and i made her realize that.

    I think most of your videos deal with work environments but they definitely help for all interpersonal relationships. I wish I had seen these videos before I retired because I would have been able to deal with some obnoxious coworkers over the years. These skills require practice but also having the vocabulary ready, it must make it easier to deal effectively with those challenging people.

    I love your channel. Could you speak to interacting with narcissists and other personality disordered people? People who only want to hear yes, and dump you if you say no, or choose what’s best for yourself instead of their agenda, (not work related). It is their way or the highway. People who live in their own world of revisionist lies? They are actors pretending to be something they are not and they need you to believe they are that something too, because your belief in it makes it real for them. People who are so deeply selfish, you can make yourself crazy explaining to a grown adult, why lying, cheating and stealing is not ok? Who exploit others for their own gain without thought to their feelings?

    I have a situation where I could use your help. I have an 8 year old granddaughter. I was at a family get together and I was showing my toes. I just got them done with a really cute pink glitter. I was really excited about it and I was showing my daughter my toes. My 8 year old granddaughter came up looked at me and said 'grandma your bragging.' Talk about a toxic strike! I was so flabbergasted! Where the h*** did she get that comment from. It was really rude. Just took the energy out of my sail. I felt it on an energetic level it was really weird. There was something really odd about it. I can understand she was jealous because she didn't get her toes done an she didn't want to hear me go on about it. Her mom called her on it instantly and made her apologize but it wasn't a real apology and she was just laughing and wouldn't even listen to what I have to say. She just put her hand up and started waving it in front of my face turning away. Unbelievable the arrogance on that child! The only thing I pointed out was that a person who says that is a person who is your enemy, they're not your friend. You don't say something like that especially to a family member. It's not bragging when they really like you, you're just sharing something great that happened. She got the energy in the room all on her instead of me which is what she wanted. She's extremely smart and she has a huge attitude, which can be an issue at times. This was the 1st time I can see where we are going to have some issues in the future. My daughter has been talking about her moods to me but I haven't seen it in person. Most of the time I have seen her she's been sweet, just a small attitude. Her mother was our adopted daughter with a lot of trauma and issues. This reminds me of some of the problems we dealt with in the past with her which are now completely gone and over and we're very close. It brought back bad memories. But the hooks she threw out are still inside me. I can't stop thinking about it. Help! She's a child, how do I address this in her because I do want to. I want to tell her that we're going have a 'come to Jesus talk' before we move forward because she needs to understand that this behavior is wrong. She's going have trouble making friends and keeping them with this type of behavior. They used to call her mother a puppet master because she would pull strings from behind the scene and just sit and watch her handiwork getting adults to fight against each other and making little toxic comments. I see her daughter has some of the same skills. It's amazing the similarities except she doesn't have all the trauma that my daughter did. She does have some trauma but not to the same degree. It's amazing to me that these traits can be genetic possibly or so it seems. I did the impossible with my daughter and it worked out great she's now doing well is an adult but I'm not sure I have the energy to do it all over again. It was a long hard road and a lot of trauma for me too!

    • @TheWizardOfWords
      @TheWizardOfWords  Год назад

      PW, I would leave this up to your daughter. Anything you say or do will not be appreciated. I'm going to bet you didn't want your mother interfering with your parenting. Trust that your daughter has the skills to deal with this. In re your granddaughter interacting with YOU, I would suggest you handle it on a case by case basis, rather than having a come to Jesus meeting. "I don't know why you've chosen to treat me in this manner, but I'm not going to tolerate it." Then get up and move and start to converse with someone else. Don't engage with her; that's what she wants.

      I feel it’s easier for a man to say that. If a woman says to another woman at work "who do you think you’re talking to" it would create intense feelings and comes off as very aggressive. Some neighborhoods be prepared to physically fight after that. How to de-escalate a matter without appearing hostile or weak or being fired at the workplace is tricky I think.

      It's gaslighting. It doesn't address the issue, but rather turns the conversation on you personally, with the implication that you are being disrespectful. The answer is "I know perfectly well to whom I am speaking" and then you continue with issues, rather than ad hominems.

    • @TheWizardOfWords
      @TheWizardOfWords  Год назад +5

      Actually, no one should be saying it. It's gaslighting. It takes away from the issue and puts the spotlight on the speaker, as though the speaker is being disrespectful. It is a ploy and should be given a spotlight, not a reaction.

    • @TheWizardOfWords
      @TheWizardOfWords  Год назад +6

      No one should be saying this--even a parent to a child. It's always most constructive to be clear. If a child is being disrespectful, the parent should spotlight that behavior with specifics, such as "You are speaking to me in a disrespectful manner . . . ." And if you're not a parent, you most certainly shouldn't be using this ploy that is designed to distract from ISSUES.

Act like me Dan and you will see they won't get nothing from you because you don't respond to their insults and that's what they want from you a ''response'' don't give them the power, take away their power by giving them a silent treatment. Just giving advice to the people....Thanks for the video Dan.
