Stop Being Exploited- How to Handle Disagreeable People

In today's talk, I want to share a little secret with you about keeping your cool and staying in control, no matter what life—or certain difficult people—throw at you. Picture this: You're in a meeting and that one colleague starts picking apart your ideas, again. Or maybe it's that family gathering where a relative never misses a chance to put you down. Here's the key: don't absorb, just observe. Stand in your power, redirect with confidence, and remember, their issues aren't yours to carry. It's all about setting those boundaries with a smile and a nod, and keeping the conversation on track. And for those times when a friend might start seeing you more as a competitor than a confidant, it's okay to redefine those boundaries firmly but kindly. So, keep shining, stay strong, and let's navigate these moments together with grace and confidence.

Agree! I have never undetstood people who have the need to try to make others feel bad.

I have a narcissistic child who gets depressed & calls me where I have to listen to negativity, indecisiveness (a big one) & god forbid I make a suggestion. She’ll insult me, deliberately shuffle forks & knives & noises things around to make it hard to hear and frankly she knows I don’t like it. It’s so painful. It doesn’t matter how much I do for her it always comes back to her unhappiness. She pays a therapist over 700/month; has free rent & car, hates her job. Never can find a BF (not good choices there I see). It’s so hard being her mom. I love her but it’s exhausting and worrisome.

As a victim of gossip, I decided to break off contact. A few people who like you is better than more indjviduals who gossip. Better fir your mental health. If you can, help those less well off than yourself. Let kindness rule your life.

I found this video particularly helpful. Elderly woman with background in psychology and I learned something. It was about keeping the peace. I have a best girlfriend whose husband is nasty and sarcastic I tried to overlook it to keep the peace but Rebecca was correct the tail eventually whipped around and things came to a nasty head

[lisagrimes]

The narcissist in my life is my female pastor and she intimidates me on purpose. I turn a blind eye to her. I need to be more assertive without getting into an argument.

[peterknyk]

In the past, I would cry, and now I try to be indifferent, so I don’t cry! It’s not easy!

[glrinc]

It's amazing how many people there are like this around us. It's an epidemic.

[EMGoudsmit]

I’m a psychologist and am a baffled. If you depend on others and they are difficult eg they insult or gaslight you, saying ‘that is an interesting perspective’ is not going to help much. I tend to ask people for an example, looking for the source of their claims. Often there is none. Then say that you like to base your views on sound evidence. That unsubstantiated allegations can lead to mistakes. Which is true.

They are destructive and don"t serve a purpose and are not useful. In a profession it is a job without a service and especially when you are in a subordinate position . .

[suek]

Rebecca, how do you endure the constant stress without getting ill?
