Been dealing with people wrong?

When people talk down to me. I always just pretend to agree with them/acknowledge what they say. Especially when they are older people.

I do this because I know myself, and I know that people like to talk like they know everything.

This is wrong, the best thing to do is call them out on the spot. Tell them that they dont know ****.

Examples: Someone telling me that my degree choice at a top uni will result in Tesco after graduating.

People gossiping about me behind my back.

I am so angry, and I am never doing this moral highground approach again. Sometimes, if you want change its about changing from peaceful to direct.

I would rather be disliked than treated like a fool.

What degree are you wanting to do? Perhaps these 'older people' aren't trying to patronise you but rather give you some sincere advice.

Mmm ok then. Enjoy your rage and shake your fist every few minutes. If you call everyone out then that will be empowering.

If its people who are failures, in a more pathetic position then more, or people I dont care about, I usually just ignore them, and like you used to do pretend to acknowledge, because frankly, i'm better than that uncle who has lost everything, sleeps in my room and still tells me i'm thick and im going to do bad at GCSE's. Yeah right, go and cook some curry for your freshi customers sasa

If its people I hate, or they have a grudge against me, I give them **** back. Lol, it feels so good just giving **** to someone when they deserve it. There often in a more pathetic position than me too. But most of the time, I don't care. Although in my life, being the "nice" guy really has come off with positives, sometimes you got to fight back otherwise your going to be taken advantage of. I learnt that the hard way.

I agree. I'd much rather be disliked, hated even then be treated like a fool, BY A FOOL

Major positive change throughout History has come from being direct and "shaking your fist". I will never let people walk over me or talk down to me.


Its not rage its called being assertive and standing up for yourself.

Btw my point was just be thoughtful when you decide who to call out and when. Sometimes its better to ignore and pay no attention.

Thanks, I understand and agree. Yday I was really wound up by something
