    I always start with a gentle “will you help me?” People for the most part want to feel helpful so I use that a lot in a situation like that one. “Will you help me please? I’m running late for a meeting and really need my package to get my job done.” It works most of the time and then I always offer a sincere “thank you for your help it means a lot”

      Nah. All delivery guys feel unappreciated so when they get a chance of being important and having a power over someone, when they have your package, they won't let go of it. They'll use it and by being polite you're playing into their game. You gotta show them you're not someone whom they can mess with. The whole point of charisma matrix is to teach you how to be more confident and you gotta realize that you've got to be assertive to shine out confidence around you.

      That really sucks. I'm glad you're finding your voice. Being a people pleaser not only makes you not value yourself as much as you'd like but also it makes you lose faith in people and start to dislike people in general. I saw this on a T-shirt once..."I used to like people, but people ruined it." Keep building that confidence and charisma. You'll find your relationships with people will soar. I was a pushover up until 4 years ago when I found this channel. The more you practice, the easier it becomes. Soon, people will value you and people don't mess with you. Your confidence will in turn boost your self-esteem. You'll look at people in a new light. You'll walk away from situations feeling great about yourself. I no longer hate people. The good-natured, light-hearted banter is fun now and I find myself actually laughing more in life and genuinely having a good time with people. Keep practicing. You're getting there. :-)

    Yes, what you tell us is definitely good way to handle the situation. On the contrary, if one were to say nothing and just let the other person take 20 minutes to finish what he has to do while making oneself late, then this is the sort of passive behavior that, done often enough, chews off one's personal self-esteem. But the way you recommend is neither passive nor aggressive but simply assertive. I like how you demonstrate specific situations with specific way/s to handle it, including exactly what one might say or do. This gives good understanding and confidence to apply what you suggest.

      Someone told me once that you should be careful when publicly correcting someone else's grammar, because unless you are a grammar expert, it will backfire as soon as you make a grammar mistake yourself - people notice these things. The same principle applies to correcting someone on his use of words. In an attempt to make someone else feel stupid for using the wrong word and yourself smarter, you revealed the opposite. If you are not sure if a word is valid or not, then look it up in a dictionary before embarrassing yourself when attempting to humiliate someone else.
      The point of all that bantering: "Exert" is a completely valid word to use in the context it was being used for. "Assert" might have worked too. But that is the thing about vocabulary choices, it is up to us which word we choose.

    If you really need a package before meeting a deadline get special rush delivery, because if you push them they may comply, but give you spiteful payback down the road in the way of trashing, stealing damaging or incredibly misplacing a future package so it's way late. That's why I don't shmooze with the post man/ woman and wait till they leave to go the community mailbox to get my mail and I'm always nice to the Amazon/fed ex/ UPS people because I don't want to give them any reason to dislike me and F me down the road.

I have nothing to prove to myself or anyone else that I'm a big tough guy by putting pressure on the delivery person for me to be next. A lot of delivery people will tell you no and there's nothing you can do about it as they can have you arrested for interfering with the their job as there are federal laws that protect them. It's not living in fear, it's protecting my mail and packages from stuff you can't see or do anything about in the long run. Getting my stuff on time and undamaged is more important than my ego.

    Barron, your videos are awesome and your advice is invaluable. This is literally the only time I've disagreed with you :-). Your move tells the mail man you think he's lower status than you, but he's literally the dude bringing you your goodies every day. There was also a risk that he could have said, "Sir, that truck is federal property and you could be charged with willful obstruction and delay of the passage of mail if you jump in there." That was risky, and I admire your confidence, but there might be hidden costs down the line. I use high status neutral tonality with my mail man combined with friendly gestures (learned this from you). In hot weather I tell him to stay hydrated and I ALWAYS use his name when I talk to him. Upon meeting my mail man for the first time I asked him his name. His name's Todd. Now when I see him, it's, "Hey Todd, how's is going man?" At Christmas I give him a $25 gift card to Starbucks. Dude I'm Todd's favorite customer.

      First off, I will avoid USPS WHENEVER possible.
      But this happened with me recently and I assigned the worker a task after agreeing and it went fine.
      "You can't touch anything while it's open sir..."
      "Yes, that's a good rule. Could you grab that one (*points*) for me please?"
      Bingo.
      The rule is they can't be interrupted sure, and that makes total sense. Taking someone else's mail is a crime and they have 20+ mailboxes opened all at once. One mistake when you're in a hurry, and you grab the wrong mail because it's not labeled (not saying you but we all know some idiot would grab the wrong mail). You may have different results based on what USPS work you get. If they are really sour, understand they are likely grasping to the very little power they have left in life. USPS is not fun and home life may not be good. In that case, I'd just be thankful to not be in their shoes and wish them a good day because it really isn't worth it. Pick your battles

    Seriously, unless you need your mail because of its immediate importance for your meeting or you could of just as easily picked it up on your way back from lunch, or had someone else pick it up for you. And even then you could have gone about it a different way.
    Here's the thing. You have the ability to create good experiences for yourself and make someone else's day a little better just by coming in contact with you. You clearly feel good about the way you reacted to that situation but and that's why you made a video about how you handled it. What you really should be asking yourself is, "Is What I did warranted because I had made it all about me and my benefit, or did I just push someone around and made their day and their job crappier than it probably already is"?
    I bet that guy walked away not thinking or feeling the best about his experience with you.
    Instead of comparing any situation and your response to it from the point of view "What would happen in court"? Perhaps you could remind yourself that you are a human being and that everyone else around you is also a human being and your time is not more important than anyone else's. Regardless of what their role at work is.
    From this outlook you have just shared, You are what I aspire not to be when dealing with anyone. Sure you might have been faced with your own pressures that day, but you do not know his daily pressures. Food for thought. A little mutual respect would have gone a longe way.
    PS. You obviously know nothing about the law. It does not evaluate things based on logic or fairness.

    Hey Barron, I definitely think you did the right thing in that situation. I probably would have done the same thing too, depending on the Fed Ex drivers tone and attitude. It sounds like he was a little snarky with you unjustly, so I think just based on that, he loses his free pass. Now had he been totally friendly and and free of attitude, I may have been more apt to come back later. But given the time crunch you were on, you had little choice either way.

    I have social anxiety I'd waited unfortunately. I don't leave the house much for this reason. Had it since at least middle school but didn't see a doctor till 27 or so when everything started getting really bad. Always been shy or at least what my parents said I was. It was at the point that I would have to he made to go in a restaurant and once I was in I wouldn't get up for anything. Many times I had to go to the bathroom but wouldn't get up and go by myself so I'd hold it. Many times I stayed in the car when my parents went inside to eat. School sucked because I wouldn't ask for help or ask if I had a question which effected my learning unfortunately. This literally has effected all my life in a negative way. Now 34 and still have it unfortunately and I said before I don't leave much. I seen a therapist for years but really didn't help much. Was told I have to go to Walmart by myself and go inside or ride around town by myself. Plan on getting my windows tinted as dark as I can get them since I feel like I'm being looked at when driving. I think I can get them darker then normal for medical reasons.

    Idk why you need to explain this to most people because I always do stuff like that. I am always assertive and when I'm told to wait I don't wait. I was told to wait by the mailman one time, I said yeah that ain't happening he looked at me with a stupid face and I got my mail and left. Simple as that. While I was leaving with my mail I passed 4 people standing there waiting. They need to watch this video.

      I don't think he's saying be a douche and interrupt people all the time but as he explained in the video he did the math and came to the conclusion that it was a less of a convenience for the postman for him to take a minute or two to grab his package which may have set him back without having it... i think its important to point out that he didnt even waste the guys time even more by trying to explain... but kept it short and simple... and at the end... the guy agreed... if he said no... and Baron still pushed on... then that would be a different conversation...

    @gringrin3979 3 года назад +3

    Assertively, in a calm and matter-of-fact manner, I would respond with a statement and not a question.
    "I'm picking up my delivery real quick"
    A statement. If the person loading the mailboxes is already running behind, their decision in response is going to be made quickly. Either choosing to relinquish access to my mailbox or to stand firm in their initial statement, that I 'must' wait, they will most likely choose the route that does not lead to a conflict. Especially if already running behind in their workday.
    If I had not made a statement assertively, and had asked, "well can I just get my mail real quick?", I would've automatically handed an authoritative position to the person loading the mailboxes.
    Initially I heard the person's statement, their position is now made known to me. When responding directly and assertively, I can make it apparent that I am not responding, in any way, to their statement but making my own statement of fact.
    The individual may become agitated, pouty and may even make a remark under their breath, this is not important in the moment as I am getting my mail, the desired outcome.
    Practice, preparedness and experiences in social situations goes a long way towards reinforcing assertiveness skillsets. It is also important to learn to keep emotions in check, reflecting the perceived emotional state of the person loading the mailboxes and reacting in kind to their emotion, instead of my goal, would probably be the most combustive situation.
    Thanks for your post, they're very enjoyable, interesting and undoubtedly helps others navigate the strange waters of various interactions with other Humans. 😉

      👍 Good thinking, but here are some tips!
      1. Try being more concise. The longer the explanation, the more it sounds like a big deal
      2. Try asking in a way that requires a "No," answer. Instead of "can I interrupt you," try "Would it be asking too much to ..."
      That's how I might've handled It, but Mr. Cruz had the best answer
