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

[@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?

[@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.

It is better to not get pulled into their attitude, but it is hard when it's your family and they always use you as the punching bag emotionally.

[@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.

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.

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.

Thanks for this commen️t ❤️...it made me to realise what I should do.

[@Bernadette_Logue]

💛

[@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

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 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.

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

Glad to share this with you Holly :)

[@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.

[@shekhartomar4821]

I have some Aussie friends on facebook they ignore me i treat them well but they don't know the value of me I also ignore them now do you think it's a good decision?

[@Bernadette_Logue]

Hi Shekhar, trust your intuition. If they are people you want in your life, then it may be a case of honest, compassionate communication to reach out and rebuild a connection and see what's possible. If not, then it's possible to learn from the experience and move on, to surround yourself with people that resonate with you and are wanting a positive relationship :) Best wishes, Bernadette

I was looking for something short and productive to watch while eating my leftover thanksgiving food and this is by far one of the better and more eye opening breaks I have given myself from school while eating my dinner

[@mommymartha]

You help me everyday. It is too expensive for me to see therapist. Are you in New Zealand or Australia. We are visiting family in queensland . Any chance I can see you in person.

[@Bernadette_Logue]

+martha cuddihy Hi Martha, I am glad to hear the resources are helping you. I am a New Zealander but I live in various locations and have been moving around for the past few years. 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). Hope that helps! Here is the link to sign up free to my email list... www.pinchmeliving.com/free-resources-positive-affirmations-audio-and-more/ Best wishes, Bernadette

Thank you so much! I recently had a big argument with my cousin but he brings all these random cussing words at me. But now I'm smiling a thinking,wow I am so sorry for him.

[@Bernadette_Logue]

Glad this was a helpful resource for you.

[@ericpacheco5619]

Someone said something to me that I never wanted to hear and so I just punch the wall until my knuckles bleed 😣

[@misslaurap]

Eric Pacheco don’t hurt yourself mate cos of someone else hurting u emotionally u deserve more 😍

[@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?

[@ilaila3504]

this is so good and concisely put! thankyou. 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

[@sf4309]

At least she isn't beating ard the bush. Very clear about what she wants to be heard.

[@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.

[@amnaalbaloushi4426]

what a great video! I wonder how ppl utter painful words ! ohhh so they ARE INSECURE! IF only people had control of their words the world would have been a better place to live!! Positive vibration!

[@bernadetteflaviano8431]

I am hurt because things said are not true. You realize people seems they are with you but suddenly they say they do not like you. This is absolutely ridiculous!!!Thanks for this video..It really helps a lot..

[@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.

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.

[@zmoney412]

I’m getting over a nasty break up. I said mean things after being abused, lied to, and told I was a piece of crap for the last year. She called the police and pressed a charge of harassment. A week later, today, she messaged me threatening me and intimidating me telling me not to go to court. And when I told her to stop, she continued to call me weak and said she slept with 3 people to get over me. It’s destroying me cuz I’m letting it. I believed the lies sometimes. No more!

[@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.

[@JaneDoe-ij4ls]

It wasn't the words....it was the actions!!!

[@wiggydebates3944]

Thank you so much. Used this today with my middle school social study students. We were working on giving and receiving constructive feedback and this went brilliantly hand in hand.

[@Bernadette_Logue]

Tina Wiggins Hi Tina, thanks so much for your comment and how wonderful to hear the students get that type of support with communication. What a great school and teacher! Warmest wishes to you. 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 😊

[@TheBtptube]

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

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

Thank you. Great information and extremely helpful. I've been getting offended and hurt by my girlfriend telling me I hurt her and was not apologizing right at all because I was mad at why she was getting mad at me but I couldn't separate myself from the issue and became a victim. Thank you.

I came across a great quote years ago that goes something like this: "If everyone knew what his best friend said about him behind his back, there would be no two people talking to each other on the earth!" I want to give credit where credit is due, so I believe the author is Pascal, though I could be wrong about that. Anyway, it's good to keep this in mind for the many little knat bites from our fellow human beings -- it makes it more bearable.

[@Bernadette_Logue]

[@keanu4489]

Thank you. I didn't say anything, however, some of their words stuck with me. Luckily, I looked up this video and I am happy with my choice of leaving them and not letting them affect me. thanks again.

😊💛

[@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.

[@Bernadette_Logue]

Practice not perfection... exactly!! 💖💗💖 B

[@haileybk.]

I over heard a group of guys talking about me saying “she thinks she’s so pretty and she’s not.. she try’s too hard.. she’s so desperate she would date the ugliest guy in school.. who would date her” mind you I was so nice to these guys and it really hurt my feelings bc I am insincere ab that kinda stuff. I haven’t done anything w a guy so I don’t know why they would say that. I also definitely don’t think I am pretty but them saying that made me more insincere then I already was. What can ya do

[@TwoMarshmallows1]

People like that just want to put others down so they can feel superior. Keep being yourself and love your life!

[@kfergus3662]

Don’t have anything else to do with them, their is other people that are better people that needs your friendship
