How To Get People To Treat You With Respect: 3 Simple Steps

[@juliakristinamah]

Which one of the 3 are you going to commit to doing more starting now?

[@feelingfeni4798]

Julia Kristina Counselling I have a hard time walking away from a toxic situation. I've been working on it, but ill commit to leaving and trying not to feel bad about it.. : )

[@kbcinmedusn]

Julia Kristina Counselling all three of course.

[@lucibloom5966]

I'm pretty good at walking away when needed and when it's become obvious that I don't get along with a friend anymore. I can see when it's turning unhealthy and harmful to both parties, and I don't feel bad about it...though I did recently walk away from a lover who was just about to leave for europe and I did not go and say goodbye to him because he started gaslighting and manipulating me in chat the night before, and accused me of things I didn't do and would not give me the benefit of the doubt, saying I reminded him of an ex partner and made me out to be the one doing something wrong when it was actually him...and I felt a bit bad that I did not see him off but I felt good that I put myself first and my need for peace, mental health (I was depressed and he knew that and preyed on it) and conserving my energy. This year has been a good one for putting myself first.

[@chanuppuluri8726]

I'm doing all three actually, but I've been in individual Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for over a year now so we've been slowly noticing this and working on tactics. It took me a long time to really notice and accept my behaviors. But I'm reaping the benefit so far.

[@tyronemanifold1181]

I've got to work on all three & because people may think it's attention seeking & there's a lot going on in my life I'm realizing it may be best to not speak with a bunch of people which is difficult family friends etc & wasn't aware of the multitude of people close & not so close doing this in my life until recently & I see it's occurring with my 10 yr old as well not cool cause I was in his shoes & it's his mother making it seem as if his father doesn't care for him etc & I know what it's like not to have your voice heard & your cries fall on def ears feel like I'm not able to speak to anyone seriously about this I'm gonna have to talk to a professional or move somewhere where I can it's been going on too many yrs I know it's a novel had to get this off my chest tho

[@maryellen4478]

[@LucyACPA]

Bullies get promoted so they can take the role of firing or disciplining that higher managers do not want to do. Jerks of corporate world are up for promotion, while able true leaders are inundated with more work.

[@briannaw.7226]

every time I try to set boundaries I make a life long enemy.

If they don't respect your boundaries & stop being friends with you, they really never were friends at all.

Brianna W. I relate too much to this comment. 😔

[@terrychadwell7081]

"It's not their job to set your boundaries for you--it's your job to set them if you want them to be respected." Absolutely true. Too often, we inadvertently let other people decide for us, rather than us deciding for ourselves. Great content as always, Julia!

[@catmcalear1881]

I don’t think cutting people off is a bad thing. I think sometimes it’s necessary. Avoiding toxic people or behaviors is necessary to just avoid. We can make ourselves better and love ourselves first. Sometimes we can’t help others that can’t help themselves.

[@ExtraordinaryLiving]

I am very nice and good to people, and I can tolerate a ton, yet in the end, if the person is not deserving of my niceness, then I have no qualms cutting him/her off.

[@silviakhanmohamed181]

ExtraordinaryLiving I’m the same way I can take a lot and lot and am not easily hurt by my family or close friends joking/teasing. But if I notice a person being hurtful on purpose twice the third time is a big strike and they are out of my life. It has happened with two friends which seemed so nice but they were wearing the death mask. Now I’m trying to avoid breaking a relation with a friend of my hubby we meet once a month to dine out although I love his wife she’s super nice her hubby always throws some nasty remarks at me and is getting on my skin. I don’t want to loose her friendship but he is a total ass. Has told me I don’t have an ass which is not true I’m curvy and in good shape. Lol!, tells me why I don’t go back to school I’m an elementary teacher with credentials and had a double major also. Etc. etc. You get the picture. I’m bubbly and friendly and it seems my personality makes him spark with negativity. I don’t know how to handle it anymore. I think next time he starts I will ask him whether he has taken his medication or has missed a good lengthy therapy section. I almost want to blow up and tell him to simply fuck off! What’s his problem?! I don’t bother him at all. He is an engineer and rather pretentious.

[@silviakhanmohamed181]

ExtraordinaryLiving Don’t let anyone push you around. Stand tall and proud and let them find another victim to let their negative self esteem off. I’m tired of these people.

[@pattyhill9278]

Silvia Khanmohamed I would ask him, in the presence of my husband, “Why are you looking at my.......”? And then let the silence ensue.

[@ExtraordinaryLiving]

+Zulaiha Ali Thank you! :) Extraordinary == Beyond the Ordinary *Every life is extraordinary* Everyone is unique, different, not ordinary. I am sure your life is extraordinary too. You just have to be present to this fact (that your are living an extraordinary life.)

[@stickerlady1774]

Silvia Khanmohamed why is it okay with your husband that any man has permission to disrespect his wife with vulgar judgments I wanna know!

[@Achilles94627]

Couldn't agree more. If you're not happy in a situation then change it. Take control of your own life. Don't allow yourself to be at the mercy of someone else. I recently ended a long distance 'romantic' friendship with a girl because I felt I was getting a lot of mixed signals and strange behaviour on her behalf. It was just emotionally draining. Sometimes you can put up with such behaviour from people for months without even realizing it. It's very natural to make excuses for people whom we like. But eventually you wake up and smell the coffee and take action.

[@megb9900]

I work in the service industry, and this is so valuable in every moment. Servers learn to accept abuse, and are used to walking on eggshells and participating in uncomfortable exchanges. It needs to change!

[@MissHannah2036]

I used to work for a magazine and some of the crazies that used to call up....way to much time on their hands. Looking to throw their insecure weight around. Different story if they have a legitimate complaint or concern. I take my hat off to you :) I'm sure you must have training on how to deal with difficult customers.

[@vimla2337]

True , but there a few racist & bully servers who ruin the reputations of the good servers.

[@gigidabeastofficialmusic]

I am currently going through the same thing, but not for long lol

[@beaulieuc8910]

and often the boss undermines you and says you made a mistake and gives the customer a full refund, even though the policy was set by the boss. Being undermined regularly enables abuse and distrespect.

[@carlos220026]

I wasn't raised in this country but since I arrived here I noticed people love to just manipulate other people or take advantage regardless how the other person feels, they feel superior because of their financial status or position they're in or because they know more about life they're heartless

[@HeavenlyDivineTaro]

YES! u hit the nail on the head. Im American and I just feel we are so d a m n entitled!

[@amarie6223]

Right! Some people feel superior to others because of their degrees or financial statuses.

[@Mockduck2020]

I believe that!

[@beaulieuc8910]

Thanks for this. I met my boyfriend's flatmate for the first time, and she was so rude (even before we introduced each other) I recognised by her deameanor and tone, and disrespect, that she was going to be a problem. I stood my ground and walked away. I actually made it clear that I will keep out of her way and have nothing to do with her. I think she was surprised. Fortunately I don't have to speak to her at all She tried to make me feel bad. She is a childminder and treats adults like naughty kids. I have confidence enough to accept not everyone likes everyone and if the feeling is mutual then it is clear for both of us.

[@curtistinemiller1560]

The worst is family.Nobody else trys that crap.My way of dealing with it is to not see them as much. I keep them at a distance.......

[@des4127]

EXACTLY.

[@tbltbl3599]

Unfortunately that's the only way I can deal with it too. They don't respect my preferences or any boundaries, so I just see them as little as possible which is too bad. They'd love to see me much more but don't treat me as an adult with my own life.

[@tonyaberney156]

I'm disabled and can't move.its hard .✌

[@dawnemile4974]

I don't agree that people take a cue from the person they are ill-treating. There is a moral responsibility for each person to treat others with respect. It is a lack of ethics on the part of the bully which is actually what is occurring - bullying behaviour or taking advantage of someone whom they perceive to be weaker than themselves in some way.

[@zzulm]

One I'm doing right now is say my needs first thing. Right after the right greeting I go straight to saying what I need from the person in front of me. Needs are what make us feel like a person and not an object.

[@Denise-wj4yy]

I love this advise..I realized that I needed to put distance between a friend and myself..it was such a hurtful relationship. This is confirmation that I am doing the right thing..thank you.

[@sassysandie2865]

I love your advice and videos! I’m learning to say no without feeling the need to explain why I can’t do something. I think many of us women don’t want to hurt feelings and always feel the need to explain. Society tells women they have to be “nice” and not be a b--. I’m truly learning it’s ok to say no and it’s very ‘freeing”

[@juliakristinamah]

Isn't it? I totally agree - and yes - an explanation is not always required.

[@DebraCTrialByFireProductions]

Makes perfect sense and I am glad you said it and wrote that here!!

[@marciathehooligan3861]

what's a b-- ?

[@whotelakecity2001]

Yes, I can totally relate to that. The pressure for women to just be "nice" and go along with whatever.

[@songsforsale427]

Human boundaries are all roughly the same. We shouldn't even have to set them. If you're forced to, it's already over

[@xenajade6264]

I really like this comment. If people were just naturally decent we wouldn't even need a discussion about boundaries, it would just be a given and everyone would treat everyone else with respect because we are all human and all have the same needs and feelings.

[@YupIknowthatfeeling]

@Xena Jade I agree, it's very exhausting when you're the one who has to almost train the other person to be respectful. It shouldn't have to be that way

[@iishuffle28]

Agreed. The cause for bullying is bullies. Just like the cause of rape is rapists. If someone thinks it's ok to harm you because of what you're wearing ect. Something is wrong with them, they're a trash human. There is no valid reason to harm another person.

[@jro7563]

I did the say "no" only last night to my now ex, it didn't go down too well, I was getting fed up of the goal posts being constantly changed so made a stand, for once. No regrets. Great video, thank you.

[@stephanielane1821]

Sometimes the people who don't respect boundaries, are elderly relative's, like mother's, and you feel you have to put up with it as to not lack in respect for your elders

[@hbhooooihbbgvv]

Very true, they also seem to not take it seriously when we try to stand up and point out how there words and actions are unacceptable to us.

[@darrenpat182]

I believe the problem with the world is the misconception that respect is unconditional for certain demographics due to perceived vulnerabilties/circumstances. Respect is meant to be a two way street, in any scenario.

[@MissHannah2036]

It's about ourselves, always. We can't control what other people do. Some people can be quite dominant, manipulative and controlling and tend to gravitate towards nice, sweet, easy going people like myself. I think it comes back to our emotional needs not being met as a child, always, trying not to make a fuss and be the good child. By deciding to start dating and looking for a serious relationship, more and more I am seeing what I need to work on, on myself and it pretty much keeps coming back to the fact that it comes down to emotional availability, being open, honest and direct with people, so they know where they stand with you and setting boundary's to show them how to treat you :) work in progress ;)

[@shweetiepetina1563]

More kind communication, self respect and patience is what we need more of for starters. Someone that is emotionally in tune and willing to grow and help us row the boat. I feel like I’m amongst the walking dead many days. Enjoy the comments here. Thank you.

[@yukari1110]

The third one really resonates with me. I want to respect my own boundaries. Thanks so much Julia.

[@juliakristinamah]

Yes!! It is SO so important that we do - if we don't how can we expect others to?

[@ericsierra-franco7802]

Boundaries are highly important! Some people do not understand the concept. This is something that one has to be upfront and consistent with those that would violate them.

[@charlottedeaves946]

I’ve had to cut a few people out of my life. Particularly those who always made false promises, or wanted me to do stuff for them all the time. I think also when you have chronic illness it’s easier to say no.

[@jamesjacocks6221]

Establishing boundaries for other people is essential: many people are not capable of situational or individual analysis but are puppies with little ken and they must search your face for clues to how to interact. I have always found that, at the first appearance of a problem, it is important to establish your inviolate self, delay will only confuse the situation. Be prepared to find some negative feedback (who does he think he is?) and be strong. Above all else, be kind and remember the golden rule.

[@jamesdavies542]

Learning how to say... "thanks but not thanks" That's very powerful :)

[@lashornawashington6618]

Stop worrying about people.Don't care just do you express you you are unique with a purpose and eagles fly alone .You love you and everything else will fall in place.

[@feelingfeni4798]

I've watched several of your videos and they have been helpful or inspiring should I say. I really feel your energy through your voice. Your tone is like this raw, powerful, light with a heavy node. You seem to poor out the vibe that if you want to play nice I'd love too, but ill ninja your mind if your not nice. lol. I think your great, thank you!

[@isaacixtupe8983]

Thank you, I just realized my friend was putting boundaries and I did not know. I need to pay attention to those small details.

[@marywolfe7293]

I do t want to be talked into doing anything that I don't want to do. I had an elderly lady trying to get me to go to a particular church. I told her I don't want to go there at this time and she kept on. it was all her agenda. I didn't appreciate it at all. I had to keep repeating myself. then, this same person knows that I don't want phone calls after ten PM. But, then she will call at 9:55 PM and say......it's not ten PM yet. She knew that five minutes before ten is pushing it. This is all crazy behavior and I may cut her off!

[@elizabethwolfedekluijver840]

It’s just awful when anybody tries to force their religion on you. This coercive behavior needs to be nipped in the butt right away...as those self righteous people have no sense of privacy. BE FIRM in your NO’s and if they don’t retreat, report them as a nuisance!

[@alextiganus8373]

Yes cut her off

[@tbltbl3599]

Seriously, cut her off. Not worth your time or frustration. I HATE people pushing their religion on me. That's how I grew up and moved across the country to get away from that.

[@dffulmer1]

The idea that stood out the most to me was that most people look to us to decide how to treat us. Why? Why cannot we decide for ourselves how to treat others... because that is the kind of person we are...how we want to be in the world. Could we see each other as being worthy of respect no matter what? If you need a justification...think about how strong and creative you had to be to be born into this life. All of us deserve respect just for being here. Or think of how we are all part of God, the Universe. Why would you disrespect part of God? Nelson Mandela said be the change you want to see in the world. We are all much more than what appears on the surface. That is just the beginning. Look deeper and you will see yourself and also the face of God. We are all connected. WE are all one.

[@heatherwilliams6375]

Denise Fulmer, That is so on point. Very beautifully put. Too much shallowness is in this world. Personally I have most of my life lived by 2 well known philosophies and that is 1 don't judge a book by it's cover & 2 treat others the way you WANT to be treated, the golden rule, not saying that I lived perfect by this had to work at it when I was a child, but after becoming a child of God/being born again it was easier because of the Lord my savior. That's my thoughts on this topic. Totally agree with you.

[@selfcare.1004]

Hi Julia, this is my first time tunning in to your video. I wanted to start off saying I love you for being here. Yes, you are right on the dot. I am 48 years old and I am barely seeing and recognizing that I am and have been surrounded by people who have taken advantage of me. Now that I am dealing with my soon to be ex who has covert narcissist traits and I have been educating myself for about a year, I still find myself second guessing myself, confused, all that you mentioned on your 9 signs of gaslight. Now that I am learning to say no or putting boundaries, people are slowly but surely try to stay away from me. I just realized, even my own family took advantage from me. I always had to be a responsible one, I had to be a mediator, I had to jump into solve the problems... and so on. Not realizing this couple of years ago and go against my wanting to help out due to my own situation, one of my brothers and I are almost enemies. He discarded me. It is so hard to find a therapist who gets it. I have gone thru few therapists recently because I felt they didn't really what's going on with me. Is it because they are not in a position to be straight out and tell me YES you are living with someone with traits of covert narcissist? I don't know but I am still struggling to find someone I can see with deep knowledge of narcissism and all that relating facts and matters. I finally finally decided that I am going to get a divorce. Been abused for last 17 years and I can't do this to myself nor my kids. I am still learning about all that relates to all these abuse I have gone through. O gosh, there are just toooooo much to learn and gain knowledge of all these abuse. Parent alienation is one of the maaaaaaany that I am learning. I didn't know why I am so isolated and walking on egg shells around my kids too. Kids are so affected and now we are temporarily separated. Kids have been taken to the in-laws for couple of weeks. DCFS and police are involved and out lives are just a mess. But, I am going forward with the divorce. I don't even know how the outcome is going to be. it's very scary and I am scared. But, after I tried my best with everything I got, I am just realizing that I can't control others and that includes kids. And this is just sad and I am just so broken inside. But all these, there really is no hard evidence to prove because most of people just don't seem to get it. I am still looking for that "one" who can help me through all these; therapist and attorney. I have been a homemaker for last 13 years, and recently in school full time. I was able to find a probono attorney and I hope that he can really help me. Sorry for this SA. All and all, I just wanted to say I say you for being alive and providing me /us with your true heart.

[@terrigelbaum8066]

better to get it at 48 than in your late sixties.

[@latanyanosworthy5080]

I absolutely get it, keep going, you are doing the right thing. Wish you happiness

[@heatherwilliams6375]

Felicity Eng, bless your heart my heart goes out to you, although I don't have that burden about divorce with children due to not being able to have any, I emphasize with you. Sounds like you have alot going on just from all directions. It is soooo hard to take all at the same time. I believe I have gone through some narcissistic abuse from my ex boyfriend, maybe some from my ex husband too. And currently seems like at work too. I've been researching and likewise educating myself what to look for in the covert narcissist/& the overt narcissist. It takes awhile to recover from it too. Just know you're not alone, and I'll pray for you. God loves you. Know that because from my own experience I don't want to even think about where I'd be without Him. He truely does care. Just wanted to share that with you. Again my heart goes out to you. I know what divorce is like, it's hard with or without children but especially with that's not lost on me. Hope this was encouraging to you, best wishes, I believe in time things will be better for you. Prayer is powerful. Want to be blessed to be a blessing. Take care.

Plus it’s done number on my self esteem and now I’m dealing with severe social anxiety .. Honestly I feel like I have lost my damn mind and have become a borderline recluse bcuz I don’t trust anyone or anything..... H.E.L.P Idk whether to laugh or cry ...

[@alicejosephine1921]

I’m a yes person trying to learn to say no. Recently a friend was coming to spend the night in order to attend an event. Then her friend called me to ask if “my inn was open” because she wanted to come and stay too. I said yes ok bla bla bla but was upset. Later I texted her that it just was not going to work because I’ll get stressed out. As it is both of these friends show up empty handed after I have spent money for groceries for them, (which I can barely afford) cleaned and gotten their rooms ready, give them my bathroom and remove my things out of it and then they don’t lift a finger to help cook or clean up but just expect to be waited on.

[@myassessmentadres1349]

You could have asked them , to help and bring the groceries BEFOREHAND. But to be honest Alice, this is just the way how friendships or being social mean. Later on you have a family, if you decide to, and you can clean wash up helping, being a slave for others and your babies as well as your husband. Sleeping and spending time with eachother in this way. Things don t need to be perfect, and yes you guys have to clean it up........but is this a thing to get stressed out about it? If it is just mentioned this BEFOREHAND, that this is your personality, and that your house is small - everyone need to work in your house. And treat them fairly - like the way you treat yourself......have fun the next time, another gathering is there again. You know what, life is so hard and soooo short......being ABLE to spend time with eachother is soooo lovelyyyyy and precious.

I’m always in a situation where I’m too scared to say “no” due to worrying about how people might feel. Whenever I have people trying to force me into doing things that I’m not comfortable with, I feel myself getting all hot and bothered that I stay silent and keep it all inside me and when it really gets to me later on, I find myself letting out my frustration by complaining about it to someone who I’m open to face to face or via text message in order to feel a lot better.

[@tiarasym133]

Sometimes I wish I wasn't so scared of abandonment or feeling lonely. This is the only reason I've been taking crap from people for so many years and not asserting my boundaries....Now I am so mentally and emotionally exhausted that I just push anybody and everybody away....and now I am willingly isolating myself. Also, I come from an enmeshed Indian family where the word 'boundaries' is alien to everyone, so I didn't even know we were allowed to do so until much later.

[@jamescadzow9545]

If someone has no respect for themselves they simply can't respect others fully, it's universally impossible. So if you want people to respect you only hang around people with high vibration and high self-esteem. Lower self-esteem will never respect anyone because they simply don't have respect for themselves.

[@aspiebear]

Seeing about 3 or 4 of your videos it is clear you have very high energy. As beautiful as that can be I found it hard to ingest, so had to takes breaks every 20 - 30 seconds. This video is much calmer and easier to ingest in one go. It is therefore also easier to digest the information. I left a reply saying secure people don''t overdo the shiny happy puppies to a reply on one of your other videos. Sorry - I was just so overwhelmed by your energy and was so frustrated as I was unable to ingest what I wanted.

This is great advice. A real must to follow by me! Thank you Julia.

When I was younger I just stayed away from bad people. I think that was the way to go more and more. You can't change people. I've tried boundary setting adults should know good manners period!

[@corporaterobotslave400]

My favorite method to deal with @4:00 is to just walk away in silence and not answer any more questions. That really leaves them in a fog. I love to do this whenever someone starts to disrespect me, or disrespect my ideas. Why do I do this? Because people who habitually disrespect others will never be friends of mine. Peace.

[@robinrobertson8690]

So true totally agree:-) great info

[@gkk2001]

Wow, very happy I found your channel. Much great advice. It seems such common sense but as the saying goes, common sense is not all that common sometimes. I subscribed. 👍

[@jonathanuniverse9302]

Great advice that will definitely help, however, the number one trait that will affect how much respect you are given, is your appearance. People who are considered "attractive" (ie. men who are tall and handsome & women who are slim and attractive) will automatically be given more respect. Humans are very shallow in that regard, sad but true. The positive side to this is that if you are aware of this tendency, hopefully you will treat people fairly, giving respect to those that truly deserve it.

I started to have a friendship with a man he gets angry then says he’s joking and he also went on about a woman who was the prettiest woman he’s ever had a relationship with I get the feeling this man is not interested in me at all I’m going to tell him we’ll be friends only

[@hbhooooihbbgvv]

Yeah, I would agree with the other 2 comments, I would end communication with this person, the manipulation is only going to get worse. Phase them out.

I started to watch your videos because of your clear english pronunciation, but friend, lots of interesting thoughts to meditate of. Congratulations for the channel, and greetings from Catalonia.

[@carolynhamilton9728]

+Julia Kristina I was watching your How toGet Respect video because I am having difficulty speaking to a once very close family member. I feel disrespected by her and have no idea why. We have been so close my whole life.... When I heard you say that you don't have to stay in an uncomfortable situation and just say "I have to go now" "Someone's at the door" or any of the "get out of conversation" suggestions, I realized that is exactly what she does to me on each time Ive called her for the past 3 years. So it's her backing out of my phone call to her. I would much rather have her explain why she feels this way to me than have her obviously use excuses to get off the phone w me. I am not pestering her or being toxic in anyway whatsoever. I really truly do not understand why she suddenly just stopped our communication. I've always been the easy to get along with kid in the family. However, my Sister is a Narcissistic personality - inherited from our Mother. The relative I am speaking of is my Dad's sister and has always supported me with the whole Mother is a NPD thing and has made it clear she does not like my Mother for many reasons. I have long believed that my narcissistic sister has been going to each and everyone in my life - because I had one where she didn't - and has been manipulating them all against me to the point no one calls or has anything to do with me. The weird thing is that all my family, including our Stepfamily, all had made it very clear that they loved me and enjoyed my company very much and did not understand how or why they couldn't get along with my 2 sisters. My 2 sisters said the same to me about the other members. I guess you could say that I am always the peace maker... Im always the loved one. Or used to be anyway.... To complicate things Ive had a very aggressive past 8 years of Lyme disease. So I am not able to do things as I used to, although I was "ostracized" way before I contracted Lyme. My family all believe in Lyme, so its not that which has taken them away... They actually helped me and drove me to appointments and finacially helped as well. I am 100 % certain it's the Narcissistic personality disorder in my Mother and big sister that they manipulated people against me with when I stepped away from the toxicity of my Sister and Mother. I know that a NPD cannot handle being looked down on and they will throw you under the bus so fast you never have a chance to handle it before it's done. So if I was the "favorite or loved or respected one" and I finally walked away from the 2 NPD's , they definitely worked fast to make themselves look "good" and only way, Ive heard is to knock down the person who in their minds made them look bad. Right? I watched my Mother do this with her ex boyfriends - when they left her, she wrote boojs about their "depression" or "craziness" I even had some ask me, what is wrong with your Mother or sister, I don't understand them? Problem is, I didn't know how far they would go with their own sister & daughter. Being chronically ill doesn't help. I haven't the energy to win my good grace back. Thank you for any advice you have.

[@diamondjenna9104]

Lady, you are just very polite "respectful" .......why do-I need to make-up an excuse to walk away from someone/something making me uncomfortable? I don't have a deadline to met! I am not comfortable with you/situation. Say what you feel....that is respect.

[@lucypinon7704]

You are awesome. Thank you.

[@cherylrogers6941]

Thank you. I geuss I forgot some if that,changed It today!!

[@lorrainecortes7296]

I was in a situation of being intimidated by this woman's voice tone when I walked away from her because she was my ex manager, I had to listen to her if she's get mad she's yell so loud, it was scaredy, my feelings got hurt, it led me to be around good people.

[@roquefortfiles]

I worked with a lady recently who I did not know very well on the first project. Minimal interaction. On this project we finally had to work closely together. She was my boss. But I found almost all of her interaction with me (Via telephone ) was extremely "Aggressive" in tone. Not the content. The way it was delivered. WIth contempt and endless disrespect. You know the cartoon phone with the sound blasting out of it. I can put up with a lot but when somebody has a contemptuous tone with me and speaks down to me in some sort of effort to make themselves feel important I feel like mailing them the foto of a middle finger. Hey, no problem that you're my boss. But I draw the line at disrespect. I've worked with many people who even though they are in a superior position to me they speak to me respectfully. And they get it back. ANd because of this there is a good working relationship.

[@mayl2773]

How does removing ourselves from a situation by saying "I need to get going" or "I have to excuse myself right now" garner respect vs. saying straight up, I don't like that you're talking/asking me this. I feel like those are just excuses to deflect and ignore and makes others feel like you're hiding something and doesn't send a clear message. However, I do have to say, when I do voice my opinion about my dislike for a conversation or situation, it always backfires and people end up getting offended and then ignore me instead. I'm not sure what would be the best approach to say what you need to say clearly but garner respect.

[@rambleonrose2993]

I believe excusing yourself shows that you respect yourself to much to be spoken to in that way. If the person doing the talking has any conscience they will likely reflect on the interaction later. Either way, you are likely garner more respect for you. (Like the confidence code)

[@Antoniaxdowney]

Notice when ppl talk us into things we don’t want to do.. if we don’t respect our own preferences others won’t.. not their job to set boundaries for u. 2. U don’t have to stay in any conversation or situation that u don’t want 3 if u set a boundary and they don’t.. but my needs are important as anyone else. If they won’t want to respect my needs that you need to take some space.

[@chynnhowe]

I feel like I’m a champion at this in every other situation besides work. I’m financially dependent upon myself and I love my work so I don’t want to leave but a lot of my superiors are really disrespectful to me sometimes. I feel like I’m between a rock and a hard place.

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

Cheyanne Howe I think you just need to decide what’s more important, money or your own happiness and mental stability and well being, because trust me it’s not worth it. Been there done that, and at some point, your body and mind is gonna have a meltdown. I dunno why, but I’ve akways had bad karma when it’s comes to work. Either had toxic working environment with bullying, or harassment, or abusive bosses. It looks good at first until you start working there, or you just need the money, then realize it wasn’t a good idea. Now I suffer from anxiety and depression as well as injuries and other issues. If you think it’s fine and you can handle it, then stay. But wealth is health, as well as mental health since the body and mind are connected.

[@juliakristinamah]

That is SO tough Cheyanne! Are you able to set some respectful limits with them in how they treat you?

[@ExtraordinaryLiving]

+Gille87 Totally agree with you. So sorry that your bad experience at work caused you such damage to your health! I was in the same boat--had horrendous, psychotic, abusive bosses; and for a long time, I stayed at the job because I was fearful that I couldn't find another job (I was very young then, fresh out of college, and had an upbringing that did not encourage a development of Self and strong boundary) ... how ridiculous was that notion, ha! I eventually fired my bosses' ass (all without having a backup plan--another job waiting, and I did this twice) and have had many, many jobs of different types since then. I am now my own boss and am very happy about my work life. So you see, +Cheyanne Howe, you have it--you just have to develop your confidence and resourcefulness, and you will be okay, you will find work that supports you financially, and you will do so with people who respect you!

[@ExtraordinaryLiving]

Just to clarify: +Cheyanne Howe, you have it--I meant you have it, the *ABILITY IN YOU* to create a life you want that you are happy with. You just have to develop your confidence and resourcefulness, and you will be okay, you will find work that supports you financially, and you will do so with people who respect you!

One has to ask themselves why they feel uncomfortable with what someone is saying. The other person may be trying to help them bc we care and they are just not willing to accept the fact they are not being introspective.

You had me enrooled in noncredit GED, I achieved it by attending classes at FCCJ in 2005. I had no translator. I finished it in English. It's been almost 10 years I am not place to work but all happen in English no Translator. If so my welthy relatives try to say I need translator no one will believe. I knew it might happen.

[@triptychbts2548]

When I had to do an important presentation this person made some of our mutual friends go to " cheer for me" since she can't make it for some reason I already told her it makes me feel even more nervous but she still went with it. Whenever we are with a group of people she randomly ask me about my physical defect and one time asked the person I liked if he is used to it already right in front of me. I was really flustered and mortified I tried to distance myself for years but she sometimes contacts me and says this other friend wants to see me or borrow some money etc then she would arrange a get together again. She also had no qualms about gossiping about some things I told her privately. It got so bad I had to cut her off .
