You letting them get a reaction out of you.

'Wait, really??'

'Hm... not sure if I'm following.'
Time for a social skills 101 lesson 👇
Some of the most successful people I know are humble, kind & give back to charity.
They treat people with respect.
Therefore, the universe rewards them with success.
Exact opposite.
They have a poor self image & take out their agression on the external world.
They treat others the same way they treat themselves in isolation.
When they are able to alter someone else's behavior, they feel powerful.
They think they are 'exposing' someone.
When you become rude because someone was rude with you, then you have allowed them to alter your emotional state.
You gave them the key to your internal world.
Tsk tsk.
Is that what you want? Well??!?
'No no that's not what I want!'
Then don't give them any satisfaction.
1. Projecting a poor self image. Therefore, it is not about you.
2. They thrive off a reaction. Therefore, no reaction is the socially intelligent move.
Only they control their behavior, no one else.
And that's why they remain UNAFFECTED.
But more importantly, it is a skill.
Therefore it can be learned, practiced & mastered.
The better you get at this skill, the tougher your mind becomes.
'How come he isn't being mean back?? Am I not worth a response?' this clown thinks.
You don't get your time back.
So give them nothing.
The less time you give them, the more they overthink & self destruct.
Weird how humans work.
'So they actually LEARN when I don't respond?'
Correct.
They are able to get a reaction out of most people.
How come not you?
Once their fleeting emotions pass, they reconsider their opinion towards you with a rational eye.
Their compassion often kicks in.
They feel bad that they behaved this way towards you.
Most people are rude back, so their ego is able to justify their initial behavior.
But with you?
They believe they took the wrong route.
But that's none of your concern.
Bottom line is that you conditioned to your subconscious mind that you control your behavior.
No one else.
That's the most important lesson from all of this.
Don't give it up to anyone.
☆Many will try.
☆But no one will succeed.
Follow this mantra until it is ingrained.
