What to do When Someone's Words Hurt You

[@BabyPink3]

I was once so hurt that i found it difficult to breathe because of how sore my heart felt. Be considerate with your words please ❤

[@laure400]

xx xx me too! I know how you feel

[@Jans-critiques47]

I'm the same way. Her advice is excellent. People can only hurt me with their words if I take it in. If I don't catch the ball I can deflect their words is a representative of them not an accurate description of meit means that they're in pain their out of control their unconscious of their actions I won't incorporate that into myself.

[@jayvi8602]

Im also like that when a bully’s words hurt me

[@tracykelly2186]

I watched this because I'm always hurt by what people say. When I've discussed it with them I'm told I'm over sensitive. So when I've tried to stand up for myself I'm met with more negativity. The lesson I've learned today is to make the choice not to allow their negativity into my space. I don't know how to do thus, I don't know the practical part of not allowing the hurt to happen when I'm not reacting to their words. This is my next lesson, don't react, but find out how not to dwell on the words. I guess I get frustrated because the person doesn't learn not to behave that way in the first place. But that's more about me.

[@juliezimmi9850]

I was on a competition today and the words the judge said hurt me soo much that I also felt that I could not breathe

[@vlvtlust]

[@angelhelen84]

I stayed silent when people were abusive. Just saying you chose not receive it doesn't help. I believe you should stand up for yourself. Tell people it hurts and you don't want to receive it. I stayed silent for years. It does hurt.

[@Bernadette_Logue]

Hey Helen, yes totally, there are situations when you need to set boundaries, communicate clearly what is and is not acceptable. I have other videos for situations that involve ongoing relationship issues, which are more applicable to what you're describing. This video is in the context of general day to day situations, passing moments, not ongoing relationship issues nor abuse, so I appreciate your comment and hope that clarification makes sense. If there are any particular resources you are looking for, let me know as I can share links to other vids if that's useful. Sending best wishes! Bernadette

[@angelhelen84]

5th dimension I found setting my boundaries and being honest with how they made me feel changed a lot of relationships in my life. So I'll stand by what I say. I don't find it to be resistance.

[@azannah]

Staying silent feels like you are agreeing with them doesn't it?

[@rokayasherif7504]

same with mine. My co-worker makes fun of me and I just laugh with them but with sadness in my heart

[@RominaLamberti]

Send huge amounts of love to yourself. Keep sending yourself love over and over. Eventually, it won't hurt or bother you what others say.

[@magdelene2001]

I spent all morning crying and my heart was pierced with pain over a few words someone said to me, thank you for putting it in perspective. Its ok to disassociate with people that hurt you though right? Even if it is family?

[@Bernadette_Logue]

You're welcome, I am glad this offered some helpful perspectives. And yes it is okay to detach from people that hurt you. That is your free will choice. Sometimes that might be family. Though I would just suggest - be as consciously aware as you can be in making any decisions about that... try to get to a space of calm and stillness (e.g with meditation) and ask your heart what is really the right thing to do, and the timing. Sometimes we want to detach out of pain, or out of ego, and we aren't healed enough yet to find a positive way forward in those relationships. Other times, we are very aware and it's a conscious and peaceful choice to detach from certain people. Only you will know. Also - it helps sometimes if you are moving away from people in your life who hurt you, to know in your heart that you are doing that for now because it serves your peace and wellbeing, but that you might choose to remain open to reconciliation in future if things change. This creates space for the future for new possibilities. It's just a perspective to hold rather than words to be said. I hope that helps. Best wishes, Bernadette

[@tabithag9628]

magdelene2001 thank you I want people to to know that most people hurt but you can't let those word hurt you self confidence.

As a sales person, I have to say, I do not look to get a rise out of customers... I don't throw them bait. If anything a lot of times I feel like it can be the other way around. I love your videos and use your tips all the time. I listen to the affirmations with my headset on my way to work. It sometimes gets me through the day. Thank you for your amazing leadership. But it goes both ways!! Sometimes people get bad customer service because, frankly they're just bad customers.

Hey Holly, that is so true, and you're spot on. I remember working in retail many, many years ago and experiencing the same thing! Being in customer service certainly requires some conscious presence and patience.

[@Bernadette_Logue]

Hi JustHolly, I hope you see this message, I can't reply directly to tag you because there is no "reply" option under your message. So... start by realising that NOTHING anyone says about you or to you is a reflection of who you actually are. It is a reflection of who THEY are. Abuse, bullying, unkindess... it is not a statement of the person being abused, bullied or hurt. It is a mirror of the level of pain within the person doing it. That is not to "blame" them, but rather a chance for you to say... "This is not about me. Their words are not true as a reflection of who I am. I AM GOOD ENOUGH. I AM BEAUTIFUL. I AM DIVINE. I AM WHOLE AND COMPLETE. I AM LOVING. I AM CARING. I AM ..... (positive affirmations that truly accurately reflect the real you". And secondly, pause for a moment and realise that if someone is hurtful and bullying, those painful words only come out of their mouth because some level of pain is within them. Our outer words and actions are just an extension of our inner thoughts and feelings (this is true for all of us, including you, and including this person who was unkind). That doesn't justify their words or actions, it simply helps you to understand that as uncomfortable and painful as it is to be on the receiving end of it, it is as uncomfortable and painful for that person who is doing it. They are cycling in their own pain. They do not know (in that moment) another way to be, OR their pain and discomfort is so great in that moment that they don't CHOOSE with free will to behave in a kinder way. It is very unsettling being around unkind people, because their state of mind and energy is uncomfortable. They are uncomfortable within themselves, and that ripples out to effect everyone around them. When someone doesn't feel comfortable in their own skin, when they cannot be their natural loving selves (as it is buried deeper down below their pain and discomfort) then they might try to compensate for it, and this can lead them into trying to be a certain way or do certain things that make them feel better, that make them "fit in" (putting others down in a misguided attempt to elevate themselves in their own mind or in the eyes of peers). The key right now is to look at this situation and know that the boys behavior and your friends responses, are not reflections of you. You are just as beautiful, worthy, good enough and important as the day you were born, and nothing anyone does or says will change that. Your mind feels hurt right now, but accurate perception is that the words were unkind, they were untrue and they don't belong to you. They belong to the other person, as a reflection of their own "stuff". Watch the video again and listen carefully to each part of it. Apply it to your situation. Be calm and breathe deeply as you listen, so you can really hear the lessons available (as often the mind is so busy and upset that it makes it harder to focus and absorb the life learning available in the situation). Also, you might like to listen to affirmations on my channel (the 400+ affirmations or the 120 for self-belief and confidence). I know you are young as you mention being in school, and so I acknowledge that it is tough at times being in peer groups and situations that can be confusing and difficult to process. When hurt it helps to reach out for support with trusted people around you, like your family, close trusted friends, school guidance counsellors, or teachers even if you feel supported in that way. Warmest wishes, Bernadette

I have been dealing with a lot of negativity around me and it basically always triggers that reaction in me. I have been trying to practice Presence and being ect. By myself, but when I'm with other people it seems to all go out the window. But you made me realize that it's going to do nothing for me if I can't sustain that state in the presence of others. I am REALLY going to start working on "not taking the bait" so to speak. But I do understand that it comes from a place of pain in that person. This is going to be one of the TOUGHEST things to overcome bc my ego starts to almost scream inside of me. Lol. But thank you so much for this. It was exactly the message I needed today.

What do you do when you're a highly sensitive person who has endured childhood abuse and bullying and have a hard time regulating the sadness you feel when when you choose not to respond? I find it so hard and disappointed in myself that I struggle so much with this

[@Bernadette_Logue]

Hi Michelle, first I just wanted to send big love to you, and please know that there is nothing wrong with you, you are a special, beautiful person, and the fact you struggle with this is human, and nothing to be disappointed about. Anyone who has been through something like this feels the struggle of it, and your feelings are valid. I wondered, when reading your message, if you have had any appropriate support, counselling, therapy, 1:1 help with processing that trauma you mention, as it's something that be very challenging to process alone, to heal from. Getting that professional help can make a world of different to be able to heal emotionally, as you say to regulate the sadness. Tools that I have found to be very helpful for emotional healing including EFT/tapping. That said, it can be challenging to navigate very deep issues and intense emotions using tapping if doing it alone, and if it's very overwhelming, so if in counselling/therapy some professionals integrate tools like tapping to their sessions to support the healing process. I send much love your way Michelle, and certainly those are 2 things I would recommend - getting specialized help for recovery from trauma like what you have mentioned with childhood abuse and bullying, and also the support of tools like EFT to name/process/release the emotions that get stored up over time and once processed more fully can help to heal those present day feelings of sadness. Blessings B

[@zion367]

Lately it is not the words in itself that hurt me, but the fact that someone else is bullying me in order to feel better about themselves. It causes a feeling of anger within me. Like.... I am being so careful to not let my shitty emotions bleed on others. Choosing to be better. They can do the same if they would only choose to be accountable for their crap. I am done being the emotional punchingbag of emotionally immature people.

This is my saving grace. An hour ago I disclosed something about me to a person I barely knew and was immediately judged. I told them about it. They apologized immediately. I explain to them how it's the equivalent of trying to make me feel a certain way with an example. They proceed to make a joke at my expense with the example I provided. I neutralized the joke and reminded them that their humor wasn't funny and I am not used to the receiving end of that sort of joke and how it continued to make me feel worser and worser. They went on to praised my positive attitude. I don't need their praise. They didn't even acknowledge that they insulted me right after they apologized. It made me feel insulted. They lost my trust and respect. I couldn't continue the conversation so I came here to figure these complex emotions out. Thank you for making this video. It helped a lot.

I am currently in Europe. When I am going to be in certain locations hosting live workshops or in-person private coaching sessions, I let my community know via social media and via my email list. I recommend you sign up for free to my email list if you haven't already (you get free resources to download when you do) and that way you will receive email alerts about my whereabouts for meeting in person. Again, that would be for weekend workshops, evening events, retreat weeks, or private coaching sessions. As far as having free support, you can access all of that via the online community of Daily Inspiration videos, weekly coaching vlogs, affirmations/meditations on KZbin or my website. Other affordable resources which are low-cost for you if you are not attending live events or private in-person meetings for coaching, would be my books on Amazon or my online courses which are a great way to get extensive support (the courses are around the same price as 1-hour therapy/coaching but include 12-15 hours of coaching videos, exercises etc links can be found at www.pinchmeliving.com on the main menu).

I do know all this stuff but i just took a little bit of bait and now i'm not sure how to feel, knowing that i want to feel healthy about it, not angry, not hurt, not rude back... usually i see the bait and haven't responded for a year or so. I think because i'm also learning to be confident and i saw a chance to respond more honestly than i usually do. I usually don't take the bait and vacate pretty quickly but I don't think i've been doing it right - and it has just encouraged my flatmates to grow ever more hateful and quite bullyish. I'm in a housing co-op for poor people and it means i have a safe place to stay so I can study and find my own stability one day. Hence, I can't choose who i live with. So yeah this video helped remind me of the goals, and really see it for what it is. A person in pain and if anything I could have some empathy for that because i'm not in pain and i'm ok. It still seems to make me anxious though, perhaps because it is my home and it's like living with arguments around, not comfortable or healthy. So I think a quick meditation, focus on breathing and come back to the source ;-) XX thankyou

Dr. Dyer once said when you squeeze an orange you only get orange juice. Never apple, never lemon you can only get whatever is inside an orange when you squeeze it. Same goes for humans. What do you get when you squeeze / stress a human? Whatever is inside them. Anger, spite, cruelty, love, kindness, compassion. Etc… that’s why we have to do the inner work so when we are squeezed we don’t bleed on the ppl that didn’t wound us. We instead can be the decent, compassionate loving spirits we all are.

Thank you so much, miss. I needed to hear this now, as I was just hurt really badly by someone I adore to the fullest. I've spent this past year adoring them, which is something I've wanted to do for the past three years (since 2012) but felt too shy to do. I'm not angry with them though. It just hurts worse if the person is someone that means a lot. Hurts more than a stranger. I've cried three times since it happened yesterday. I'm an Indigo and I always thought they were too, but I don't know after this. Thank you for the guidance, miss.

[@Bernadette_Logue]

You're welcome. Best wishes, Bernadette

[@ro_xs7657]

Thank you for this. I just said that I was annoyed that someone did respond to texts and a online meeting. I wasn’t annoyed about that person and I feel sorry about saying negative things. Now I know how to apologize, I don’t mean giving excuses, I’m responsible about my words. But I mean that I understand why I did it, because normally I’m a positive person. I hope I can make up with this person.

Today I went to the Oahu cemetery with my sister to visit her friend's grave. The graveyard closes at 6 p.m. and we were few minutes away from our car and the gatekeeper and Overseer of the graveyard yelled at me, telling me to hurry up! When obviously they saw us rushing to our car. I felt they were rude. Visiting a friend who is deceased is a sensitive time. I really didn't appreciate that. The Overseer of the Graveyard acts like she owns the place.

[@briannaguerra4302]

Thank you thank you , I've been hurt so much by people saying horrible things to me that has made me done things that I'm not proud of , I haven't talked to my parents in days and my hope is dying I asked for help but all anyone does is judge me so I lived with hiding my pain and not telling anyone how they're making me feel

[@mlove.1376]

Much gratitude out to you Holly for being in service to me and others. What I got out of this is some great tools to not take things personal. It is really a hard thing to do as I easily fall back into the victim/ego role. Throw me the worm and more often than not, I take the bait. People are so good at casting out and wanting me to bite that big juicy chaos/pain worm. I feel like Dory. Just keep swimming. Or just keep practicing. It is hard work looking at myself. I also love that you put an emphasis on practicing. I often give it a go and it doesn't neceassirly work out, like the screenplay in my head, but I do try and give myself credit for what I have worked on each day. I'm Not doing it perfectly, but striving to be better. Great information. Thanks again. Love you.

[@LiLi-so1vl]

Thank you, this is so knowledgeable. Today a woman told me that I was a man and she started laughing saying that because I have a deep voice, I got so hurt and down, I felt like my self esteem going down. This will help I am sure.

[@Bernadette_Logue]

You are magical, beautiful, divinely created and a gift. Other who judge and laugh and mock... It has NOTHING to do with you. It's pain inside of them looking for a way to outlet and the ego wants to push down others in order to appease the inner pain and feel "bigger" as a result. The irony is that this painful behavior, unconscious or not, actually only leads the person to feeling smaller and smaller. May life help them to awaken and find peace. And may you stand in your power and divine esteem that nothing and no one can dent or take from you. I see you!! You are 🔥💕✨🪄

[@LiLi-so1vl]

@@Bernadette_Logue Thank you enormously for you beautiful words. God never leaves us and I am here now reading how loving and caring you are towards me. Thank you, God bless you always.

May that woman yes be blessed as well, wish nothing but the best. Keep doing what you are doing, you bring happiness to earth. 💕💐🙏🙏🙏

[@micaelawells3521]

Went to purchase my first car yesterday and on the way out to look at the vehicle my grandma started going in about how she has better shit to do and my problems weren't hers etc. Really would have been nicer without her around. She basically stole any excitement I had right out of me. I'm 27 and have needed this for a while. I didn't imagine the day I got a car finally would be anything like that.

[@urbanvoice5323]

The concept is very helpful but the reality is some words are so powerful especially coming from a particular person will hurt you, the most you can do is damage control.

[@Bernadette_Logue]

Hi Daniel, yes I hear you and understand. Some words cut so deep that the emotion needs to be addressed, and we need to go beyond the framing of a helpful mindset. To reduce intensity of emotion and release emotions/emotional energy blockages after going through an episode like this, I would recommend using EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) also called Tapping. It's so helpful, I use it all the time to support mental/emotional balance in every day life, events and challenges. If you're not familiar with it, I have an article on my website about it and also various guided Tapping videos here on my channel with EFT practitioner guest experts. Warmest wishes B

[@urbanvoice5323]

Thanks Bernadette.

[@lifeslessons9889]

I hear every word you’ve said.. my only excuse is , I really try to avoid negative low vibe potentially toxic people who I know are VERY capable of this bad behaviour…that because I know I’ve suffered for soooo many years with these toxic bullies that it’s become a FIRST response of mine to fight fire with fire … I promise I do try to not take it on … but, I MUST try harder . I either bloke these narcissistic or take a chance that they’ll behave..but as you said “ we can’t control their mouths “ ..for me it’s an avoidance thing if possible. Thank you 😊

[@daniellaursen6753]

Great video. It definetely gave me something to think about. I would say that I'm a nice guy most of the time if people are nice to me, but I have a problem when I feel people hurt me. I always give back a lot until I have hurt the other person and it just make me feel worse. This is probably one of the biggest area for me to work with. Control myself when someone do or say something to upset or hurt me.

[@Bernadette_Logue]

It's great you have that awareness and I hope the tips are helpful for practicing next time someone throws out hurtful words or behavior. It's not easy initially, but with practice we can break the old reactive patterns and live with greater personal power and peace.

The fishing line was a great analogy and will be easy to remember! Be like a fish, don't take the bait (comment)and swim away from the bait.

[@Tofunaga]

Hi Bernadette! Thank you so much for your wonderful video! Someone famous/influential has posted a rant about me for something I've done which I think was not that harmful to them, but they have been hurt and have kept that pain for years and released that pain and anger by writing that post. Of course, their fans jumped on it and were ganging up on me. I understand that this may have been brought about by my vibration, but how I reacted was a sign for me of maturity, since yes, of course I felt hurt and sad, but I wasn't angry. I felt empathy for him because I know how unhealthy it is to hold on to those negative feelings for such a long time. I know he was coming from a place of real pain (he said he was an advocate of anti-bullying and he posted it in a place of anger), and I felt sad for him for having to release that anger in a destructive way. I also felt there was a silver lining to it since I saw how many people caring about me and got people to talk and think for themselves (not all of them were siding with him). I can relate so much with your points in your video on how I reacted to it, it gave me so much affirmation! However, I'm just concerned with the person's fans and if you can, shed a light on their actions as to why they sided with him blindedly? Like do they have the same low vibration?

[@Bernadette_Logue]

+Tofunaga It helps to remember other people can take their own view, from their own paradigm, from the facts they have available, from their own beliefs and opinions... that might be something you never understand, agree with and certainly can't control. Your number one job always, as it is for every person, is to be responsible for your own way of being, your own way of responding. Focus as best you can on taking learning from the situation for yourself, on being the best person you can be, and making peace with what was, being present and deciding in this moment... what energy you choose to hold now, what direction you want to go in now, and turning your focus positively forward. So long as we can learn from a situation, it serves a purpose and helps with detaching and moving on.

[@Tofunaga]

Thank you so much on taking the time to reply to my comment :) Thank you also for that insight, since I've definitely missed that point- in detachment from the event, and that people have their own experiences/belief systems/opinions/etc. that I have no control over- and it helped me make peace (even just a little bit) with what happened. I feel like I've been thinking about it and analyzing what happened that I forgot the fact that in order to move on, I have to step back and detach myself from it :)

[@jamesepistle7695]

That was incredible! My action for "turning the cheek", as she said, is first. Avoid that situation. Whatever the situation that has just occurred, this, this here, has absolutely nothing to do with you. BOOM! God sorry mate, my emotions just came spewing out.. . JUST AS THE LADY HAS SAID! And the next step, Spirit Soldiers! Add the person. Just as I said, to avoid the situation. It is time to take the next, step. Tend to avoid this person. 'Tend'.. . It is done.. .

[@Bernadette_Logue]

😊

[@obiomkpanam9472]

How can you avoid this hurtful person if she’s your wife and does not seemed to accept that she says hurtful things and is not ready to change that attitude anytime soon? She’s like an emotional Narcissist! And you have kids with her , what should you do?

True. At that moment it hurts so much but when you think about it carefully that is not your pain because before meeting that person and talking with them I was alright , and not hurting that way so it’s their pain not mine

[@mariewilliams194]

It's a power trip to feel superior. They don't care if they upset people. They love that people are taking them seriously .

[@robertamirtha4242]

Not just words, though, but it could also be body language. Being ignored, avoiding eye contact, for example. I've experienced this, and it can be worse than words, since words are at least more specific, whereas body language that shows disdain, you're left to wonder why the hate. Overall insightful and comforting video.

[@Bernadette_Logue]

Yes you're absolutely right, body language and silence can be just as hurtful as words, the full array of ways we interact with others can be impactful positively or negatively.

[@luv21corgi6]

[@Bernadette_Logue]

I send love and peace to you. People can be so unkind at times and no one deserves to be treated that way. Just remember that when people are cruel with their words, gossip, bullying ... it says only something about their character, and nothing about you. Be sure to reach out to people you trust in person for support, parents, school guidance counsellor, friends. 💛
