- 1:41did that feel like nails on a chalkboard
- 1:45it's even worse when it happens
- 1:46repeatedly and you're sitting there
- 1:48thinking do I even exist in this meeting
- 1:51totally it reminds me of a time during
- 1:54University I was in a group discussion
- 1:56and one guy just kept talking over
- 1:58everyone I was so frustrated but instead
- 2:01of speaking up I just stopped
- 2:04contributing it felt awful I've been
- 2:07there too it's like do I let it slide or
- 2:10do I say something and figuring out how
- 2:12to respond without escalating things
- 2:14that's the tricky part right exactly so
- 2:17let us discuss what disrespect is and
- 2:20where it can come from disrespect can
- 2:22show up in so many ways it could be
- 2:25hurtful words dismissive Behavior or
- 2:27even unfair treatment what do you think
- 2:30Daniel spot on Aaron disrespect doesn't
- 2:33always look obvious sometimes it's loud
- 2:35like someone shouting at you other times
- 2:38it's subtle like someone ignoring your
- 2:39ideas or cutting you off mid-sentence
- 2:41and here's the thing it can come from
- 2:44anyone a stranger on the street a
- 2:46coworker a friend or even a family
- 2:48member it can happen anywhere at work at
- 2:51home or in public that's what makes it
- 2:54so tough right it's not about avoiding
- 2:56disrespect completely that's
- 2:58impossible it's about how we handle it
- 3:00when it happens exactly and like the
- 3:03saying goes respect is a two-way street
- 3:07if you want to get it you've got to give
- 3:09it but sometimes people don't play by
- 3:11that rule true and when they don't we
- 3:14have to decide do we let it go or do we
- 3:17address it it depends on the situation
- 3:21absolutely so let's dive into some real
- 3:23life examples and strategies starting
- 3:26with
- 3:27strangers Daniel have you ever had a
- 3:30random stranger disrespect you oh plenty
- 3:32of times once I was in line for coffee
- 3:35and someone just cut in front of me like
- 3:37I wasn't even there it caught me off
- 3:39guard and I froze G that's so
- 3:42frustrating you're standing there
- 3:44minding your business and boom they just
- 3:46break the unspoken rules of basic
- 3:48respect exactly I felt the anger
- 3:51bubbling up but I reminded myself don't
- 3:53react In the Heat of the Moment so I
- 3:56took a deep breath and calmly said
- 3:58excuse me I believe I was next they
- 4:01looked embarrassed and moved back smart
- 4:04move staying calm is key when you lose
- 4:07your cool you give them control over
- 4:09your emotions deep breaths can do
- 4:12wonders and sometimes it's worth asking
- 4:15why are they acting this way maybe
- 4:17they're having a bad day or they're in a
- 4:19rush empathy helps you let go of that
- 4:21initial anger like Michelle Obama said
- 4:25when they go low we go high responding
- 4:29with Grace doesn't mean letting them
- 4:30walk over you it means protecting your
- 4:33peace exactly and here's a quick tip for
- 4:36our listeners practice saying polite but
- 4:38firm responses like excuse me can you
- 4:41wait your turn it's a simple way to
- 4:43handle these situations without
- 4:45escalating now let's talk about
- 4:47something tougher disrespect from people
- 4:49close to us Daniel what's your take on
- 4:52this It's Tricky Aaron when it's someone
- 4:55you care about it hits deeper I had a
- 4:58friend who used to dismiss my ideas as
- 5:00too simple whenever we worked on
- 5:02projects it made me doubt myself that's
- 5:05rough what did you do at first I stayed
- 5:08quiet but it kept happening so I finally
- 5:11said hey I feel dismissed when you say
- 5:13that can we discuss ideas without
- 5:15putting each other down they were
- 5:17surprised but appreciated the honesty
- 5:19that's a great example of being
- 5:21assertive it's not about attacking the
- 5:23person it's about expressing how their
- 5:25behavior affects you that's how
- 5:27boundaries are built EX exactly and if
- 5:30the behavior doesn't change it's okay to
- 5:33re-evaluate the relationship like
- 5:35confucious said respect yourself and
- 5:37others will respect you well said
- 5:40remember listeners you deserve respect
- 5:42in all your relationships speak up when
- 5:44needed and don't be afraid to set limits
- 5:48lastly let's talk about the
- 5:50workplace disrespect here can be
- 5:52complicated because you want to stay
- 5:54professional what's your experience
- 5:57Daniel plenty of stories but here's one
- 6:00that stands out I once had a colleague
- 6:03present my idea in a meeting like it was
- 6:05theirs I was shocked that's so
- 6:09infuriating what did you do after the
- 6:12meeting I spoke to them privately I said
- 6:15I noticed you mentioned my idea in the
- 6:17meeting I'd appreciate it if we could
- 6:19present it together next time they
- 6:21apologized and didn't do it again that's
- 6:24the perfect way to handle it calm clear
- 6:26and professional calling someone out in
- 6:29front of others can escalate the
- 6:31situation exactly and if the behavior
- 6:33continues document everything it helps
- 6:36if you need to involve a manager or HR
- 6:39great tip as Bruce Lee said knowledge
- 6:42will give you power but character
- 6:44respect in the workplace showing respect
- 6:48even when it's not given sets a powerful
- 6:51example so Aaron we've covered strangers
- 6:54personal relationships and the workplace
- 6:57but what about General tips how can we
- 6:59handle disrespect in any situation great
- 7:02question Daniel let's break it down step
- 7:05by step all right let's start with the
- 7:07first and most important tip stay calm
- 7:10it's easier said than done right Daniel
- 7:13totally but staying calm gives you
- 7:16control when someone disrespects you
- 7:18your first reaction might be to snap
- 7:20back but that only adds fuel to the fire
- 7:24exactly taking deep breaths or counting
- 7:26to 10 can help you pause before reacting
- 7:29it's simple but powerful and let's not
- 7:33forget silence can be
- 7:35golden sometimes not reacting at all
- 7:37sends the strongest message
- 7:40absolutely tip two choose your battles
- 7:44not every situation deserves your energy
- 7:47that's so true for example if it's a
- 7:49stranger being rude it might be better
- 7:51to just let it go save your energy for
- 7:54what really matters exactly now tip
- 7:58three be assertive not aggressive if you
- 8:02do decide to address the disrespect
- 8:04speak with confidence but keep your tone
- 8:06calm here's a great phrase to use I felt
- 8:09disrespected when you said that can we
- 8:12talk about it it's direct but doesn't
- 8:14escalate the situation perfect and
