    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!

Usually "you" or "I" refers to one's ego, so to say you don't have an ego seems like it would imply there is no "you" to be bound by other's opinions, nor is there a you to be freed from them. 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.

    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.

    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.

    • @AnnCooper33
      @AnnCooper33 5 лет назад +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.

    I've been told my whole life that I look intimidating.

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!

    Tips from the video: (TLDR)
    1) dont leap into conversation to be cut off, make sure to FINISH your sentence even if people try to but in
    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 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.

      It absolutely works. Humans are not much more complex when you're looking at basic emotions and social behaviors. Simple classical conditioning works like a charm for bad behavior. Simply remove the reward (attention) when they act poorly. And when they rectify their behavior, bring the reward back. This works great in customer service _and_ with toxic parents 🙃 My mom and I have a relatively positive, healthy relationship now because I use this conditioning to maintain my boundaries. The only rule is you have to stay firm, clear and consistent.

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.

      Showing emotion is actually okay. In fact not showing emotion at all is very unsettling and also unhealthy. The thing you should avoid is getting too worked up by something and being consumed and controlled by your emotions. Being able to remain calm and respectful even when being angry or hurt will show others that you are in control of the situation and have strong enough character to stay strong even when things aren't going your way. Showing that you're angry can even further showcase your strength as long as you don't get consumed by it and show people that you're no longer in control by throwing a tantrum.

    Silence in the face of inappropriate comments is probably the most effective response, and a good way to gain the upper hand. There's a great desire in all conversations to fill a gap of silence, so if someone is rude or insulting, and you don't respond verbally when it's "your turn," they will become very unsettled, and it draws attention to their gaffe. It's important to maintain eye contact and not give any facial clues, though. Simply looking them in the eye with a neutral expression will wilt them.

    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.

    This video just taught me so much about my own way of communicating. I have been coming up against people being extremely rude to me, and I am unable to verbally defend myself because I hate causing a stir or increasing confrontation. I knew I wasn't handling things well, so I went looking for an answer. I found it. It lies in letting them eat that uncomfortable silence they create. Not letting the awkwardness pass, but showing them - they created it - not me. I do need to defend myself, but in the proper way. Detaching myself from the comments they're making, and remembering who I am. Responding to each individual as their own entity, so I don't get swept away in me versus everyone dynamics. Thank you. God Bless 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.

When something is positive and enjoyable for me I have no issue expressing positivity, but the moment there's conflict, or boredom, or I don't like the way something is behaving, the neutral face and intonation set in. I have almost never been bullied socially, and I know recognize it's because I give bullies so little room to work.

    This is SO helpful, thank you. When I was bullied in the past, I could after the fact form a calm, logical reply to both defeat what was said and illuminate the bad behavior without succumbing to it. Unfortunately, in the moments it actually occurred, what happened instead is I'd get so flustered by the unkind ridicule that I'd stammer or even get my words turned around... which of course only gave bullies more to mock. It was humiliating. While I no longer walk a daily gauntlet through school corridors, there is still a family member whose narcissism has turned her into a bully whose tactics are quite unfair and whom I can't avoid entirely. This video gives me some great tips for dealing with her when I must, or with any others I might encounter.
