      "Experts" are often in their field, to play games, to lord over others. Their definition of "getting along" means others "bowing down", letting them rule them. They're in it for (abuse of) Power.

      FYI:
      A Resource for your Subject:
      *A Sociologist/Behavioralist's quick Summary on the subject:*
      Judgemental is a trait associated with our Human Lower Mind, aka (Ego Mind, aka Adolescent Mind).
      🔹All negative Thought Energies reside in the Lower Mind: (fear, prejudices, Judgemental, envy, jealousy, hate, anger, etc, it is also the area of thought that includes "the Lackings": lack of balanced Self-Love, self confidence, self esteem, self worth, etc.)
      *The Higher Mind aka Mature Mind is where all Positive Thought Energies are found: Love, Joy, Creative, Laughter, Passion, Wellbeing, Happiness, Compassion, Inspirations, etc, it is where Wisdom resides.*
      *In order to establish a Mature Mind*, we must first make a habit of being *"Conscious in Thought" (present in the Now) + "Apply the Higher Mind".
      With the desire to gain greater Harmony in life and to be a fully Mature Person, the desire + "patience and continued practice", *ne will form a new habit in time.
      Considering the "Universal Law of Attraction" defines that we each Create all of our own experiences/Reality through our:
      *"Thoughts+ Feelings X Beliefs"*
      *= "our Reality"*
      Then clearly it 8s in our best interest to establish a habit of Higher Minded Thoughts.
      🔹Our Thoughts are literally our Power, to worry over what others think or say about us is to give our Power away.
      The Emotional Development of an individual varies from (child like, to adolescent, on to Adult, and continues to Mature Minded, even further to Wise.)
      The level is directly related to the Higher or Lower Mind, and often a blend of both.
      Most never have the information on this to realize there's an opportunity to improve and once mastered, it offer a whole other level of happy and vast positive benefits.
      Each when they are ready, will find this info, and they will grow, evolve up into their Higher Value of Self.
      Beth
      a Sociologist/Behavioralist
      PS:
      How to respond? (Don't)
      "Judgemental people always say more about themselves than You when they are Judging others."
      If they are Gaslighting, then they are a Narcissist Personally Disorder and the answer is "Do not respond", detach from the individual and seek advise from a Therapist that specializes in "NPD Victim Therapy".
      I would encourage these be considered when producing content on the subject.
      ... and I'm neither reviewing nor Judging your video. I'm merely sharing sound professional information.

    @shechshire 10 лет назад +184

    This is great. The typical response I get from passive aggressive people when I go with step 2 is a justifying statement such as "you're being too sensitive" or "Don't take it so personally". The irony of it though, is that... What I come to find is that they're the ones that are "too sensitive" or "taking things personally" as if they're projecting their own insecurities on to other people & using it as a verbal defense mechanism.

      I agree, I get told this even though I am more resilient to these petty judgments than most and get told I'm too sensitive by my family. BUT........ if I believed that a person were sensitive, I would HOLD BACK from telling them what I thought/what to do!! Why go ahead and heap a load of criticisms or judgments on a person if you already believe that they're too sensitive.

      +Rick G I agree--because when your behavior is passive-aggressive (rather than overtly aggressive) you can always say "Well, I was just joking" or "You misunderstood." You don't have to take responsibility for your behavior as you would if you were being overtly aggressive.

    "Judges don't like to be judged." This concept works great. If you have a sort of toxic or abusive boss like I do, one who doesn't always know how to control himself at times, but one who also ISN'T narcissistic and will accept feedback, you can win with a well-crafted critique and "review" of them and their behavior and how it affects people. I've done this during one on one meetings and some bosses can be left stunned. If you document everything, bring examples that they know are true, bring proof of things (if applicable), it is hard for them to deny and they may not even realize they are this bad. This is especially true if you outline specifically how it ruins productivity and people's morale. It takes you from someone who at the start...might be taking some unfair criticism or abuse at the beginning of the meeting, and ends with your boss feeling like they have no place to criticize you at all and maybe even feel afraid to be fired in the event that other coworkers may feel the same way and it gets to the wrong person. Of course, even if you hate your bosses guts, you have to fake and do this in a constructive way.

    • @TheWizardOfWords
      @TheWizardOfWords  2 года назад

      Interesting, Mulder's Mayhem. And of course the manner in which you approach your boss is critical (hopefully constructive). Kudos to you for realizing that not all difficult bosses are narcissists. In fact--very few of them are, but that's the brush with which they're smeared. Most difficult people are just doing the best they can--and can withstand criticism if presented in a non-threatening manner.

    2. Ask a clarifying, closed-ended question which makes them confirm or deny their intention.

    • @cacatr4495
      @cacatr4495 5 лет назад

      So what would you do, if the person had a pattern of conjuring blatantly false accusations, and never tolerating the truth? Like, you're being the quiet one in the conversation, and they angrily accuse you of talking too much, while in blatant fact, they are the one who is going on and on? No one can tell this person anything, they won't tolerate it; everyone knows it, so no one tries. It's not like their strife-mongering, accusations or abuse is a reaction to someone else's antagonism. They just strike out of the blue, blindsiding the listeners, as though they are deluded, irrational, outside of Reality. They ask questions, seemingly sincere, like regarding a shopping list, for example, but don't tolerate answers. Brief, direct answers are accused. One can answer them with Yes or No 4 times, and they still come back with an angry " It's a Yes or No question! Just answer the question!" It's like they aren't listening, and they have no hearing problem, at least not with their ears. What if one can't just cease contact, at least for the present?

    Antagonists are my thorn at work. I have a thin skin and some people seem to just smell it and needle me in ways that only myself and they know they're needling while we're in the presence of others/bosses. So, I've learned of course not to bite the hook but there are those times when I can't resist. That's when I'm around a really skillful antagonist. I've read books, done transformational seminars and talked to a therapist. I still seem to almost be a slave to my need to aggressively confront these individuals sometimes. Antagonism is so vast and vague, explaining why there's no 'how to' around the subject. AND, I'll still watch your vids and vids like it. Great to have folks like you out there making a difference.

    Hi Dan! I'll have to give these tips a try. Usually when dealing with passive aggressive judgemental people, I would just answer their judgement by pointing out something that THEY are not excelling in. For instance I'd say, "Oh you don't like Mary's party theme? Why didn't you help her? You're always so quiet when we ask for ideas. You should offer to pitch in more or are you not a very creative person." Translation: Don't talk crap about Mary when you had nothing to offer.
    Does that make me passive aggressive as well or just aggressive? Hmm...

      I think that might be a great time for a hamburger followed by a navigational phrase. For example, "Jean, when you judge people like that, I feel uncomfortable because I care about these people, and I care about you too. Why don't we change the direction of this conversation and talk about what we're going to bring to the party. . . (or whatever you want to talk about instead)."
      Of course, there are a million ways to:
      1) don't reward the behavior or take the bait, and
      2) change the subject.
      For example, don't know what to say? Just give the three second look, and start a sentence with, "That reminds me . . ." and talk about whatever you wish.
      I hope that helps!
      HAHA! I'm glad you liked the sound effects. I try.

  • @privateprivate8366
    @privateprivate8366 5 лет назад +2

    I think it’s a great idea, however, I wouldn’t chance it in my work situation.
    I have a boss who would like to feel that he’s BFFs with me and this other guy. But, as this other guy wants my job, he seems to try to want to embarrass me in front of our boss - and my boss doesn’t seem to recognize this blatant effort - until it looks like I don’t like it. Then, thinks I should talk to them both about whatever “my” issue is.
    When my boss later asked if I was OK as, he knew that I’d said I hadn’t gotten much sleep the night before, I replied that there was a problem, but that it wasn’t mine and he mumbled, “I know.”
    Of course, my feeling was, if you know, why don’t you say something!? I’ve even tried to kern it so our meetings aren’t set up so this coworker can play the asshole, but the boss says that it’s OK, until we get to more difficult projects and we have another one of those meetings again, later this week. This is although I have decades of experience doing more complex work.
    I know that most people’s advice is to go find another job but, this is actually the best job I’ve had and I’m not at an age and stage in my life where I’m going to purposely seek out a new job, unless I absolutely have to.
    While I’ve given this freak the cold shoulder, which seems to make him nervously turn on some temporary BS charm, the moment we’re in a meeting again, he will start being an absolute jerk. Apparently, 3 other people have had issues with this guy also.
    While I don’t know for sure, I think this guy “may” be a narcissist. I’ve had to study narcissism so, at minimum, this guy has some sort of problem, in addition to the fact that he wants my job. And one finds that a narcissist in the workplace even can have more than one enabler. My boss is one and another guy, who’s been subjected to the abuse, seems to want to support this freak.
    Boy, when you’re stuck, you’re stuck. The good thing is that I can hold my own and know that I’m looking at someone who has a real problem. It isn’t me. I may not be the most jovial employee but, I don’t attack my coworkers. If this guy is narcissistic, I know what his triggers are, as well.

    Thanks Dan! This is something I can use in real life! I've been isolated for years but doing my best now to come out of my shell. I have had some situations that I'm not sure how to handle.
    For example: The guy at the front counter of the gym acts like we are friends but uses a lot of passive aggressive remarks.
    I was leaving the gym and as I passed the counter a friendly clerk said isnt that right? My response was what? I don't know what you guys are talking about. The passive aggressive guy said in a loud drawn out voice W H A T!!! (he sounded like quack bird) I want to confront him and ask him why he does it but a friend of mine said he just that way but I still feel frustrated because I think about it later.
    I really don't like people that are bitchy and want to learn how to deal with bitchy remarks! I want to grow up and no longer feel bad. What would you say or do in a situation? Thanks in advance!!

    Thank you so much, Dan. I'm a people-lover and communicator by nature and've been interested in the art and skill of communication for 19 years; tweeking and modifying as I go. I counsel people quite a bit and of course - it exposes me to some very needy; manipulative people. I've been endeavoring to master the art of effective communication; and not to control, but, to tactfully and smoothly deter others with issues, from controlling. Shut them down. :-)
    I'm curious as to what brought you down this path? I just might ask you if your channel affords the opportunity to write a personal message. Thank you again. Susie

    Hello… I’m glad I found this video. How do you think I can handle two girls in my cna nursing program who are always laughing at me … no matter what I say there always laughing like hyenas. A lot of the time sky instructor is always making jokes and they laugh at whatever he says but I don’t find him funny so I usually just stay quiet or I look away. For instance, this one time I was was asking the instructor a question regarding clinicals… simply asked if we the students would be assisting cnas or would we be working together or be left alone? I asked him this question on the side, while these two girls were over on the side looking and laughing like I wasn’t talking to them, and I don’t understand what’s so funny? So I asked them infront of everyone… “what’s so funny and because I don’t see what’s so funny?” They both looked shocked and then one of them looked down on the floor and the other girl just looked at me like “ 😳” . She didn’t think I was going to say anything…
    I’m reserved and to myself and I’m not one to gather around and talk or joke around… specially when there around I separate myself. I know my instructor is sarcastic and he’s always making jokes but there’s always jokes targeted at me which is fine when he does it I guess.. I don’t really care but I just don’t engage. But the other girls just annoy me… there younger than me. They don’t have much experience so maybe that’s why there immature? Or maybe lack confidence so all they do is laugh when they have nothing to say? Idk. Maybe because I have a diff get sense of humor I don’t think a lot of things are funny… but with them is idk what’s so funny that I say that they laugh. I use my hands to speak at times when explaining procedures and what not. What do you think I can do?

    Hi Dan, I'm a new subscriber. I am undergoing occupational therapy to go back to work after being on long term disability for two years, and am investigating assertive communication skills to stand up for myself after 21 years in a bullying, toxic workplace. I had this experience with someone I barely knew who routinely insulted me and make judgmental comments on my weight when we were alone in the elevator together. Do you think if I said the following to her should she try it again with me, that it would be aggressive communication rather than assertive? "I can gain and lose weight if I choose to. What can you do about your judgmental behaviour?" I worry that if I say this, then I'll be accused of being judgmental and oversensitive. This has been the case in the past when I've tried to stand up for myself, and I revert back to my usual introverted, silent self, feeling crappier about myself, ruminating and second guessing myself for a long time.
