I am direct but polite, yet people think I am being rude or arrogant. What is going wrong here?
It’s hard to say exactly what’s going on here without details — some examples, say, of your ‘direct and polite’ statements that people mistake for rudeness — but I can say a couple of things generally:It is possible — even easy — to be direct and polite without actually being civil. There are all manner of hostilities that can hide behind a superficially neutral tone.It is always possible — though not always easy — to say anything meaningful without giving offense. It requires a combination of consideration for others, compassion, self-reflection, and restraint.Some people are thin-skinned (generally, or about particularly topics) and need a gentler hand. That’s where compassion and self-restraint come into play. Some people mistake harshness for helpfulness, and confuse honesty with truth. That’s where consideration and self-reflection become necessary. If someone is accusing you of being rude and arrogant, it doesn’t really matter whether the accusation is ‘true,’ or whether the thing you said is ‘true’. What maters is that you’ve expressed yourself poorly, and it’s now your job going forward to figure out how to say what needs to be said in a different manner that won’t get you accused of arrogance.Self expression is a more difficult task than most people realize. Most everyone can talk reasonably well, sure enough, but nothing anywhere guarantees anyone the right to be heard. People who want to be heard, and respected for their words, have to learn how to speak in ways people want to listen to.
What Do You Think About Arrogant Immigrants or Hispanic People?
This might be a weird question but i would like to know what you think about Mexicans who believe to be the better then anyone, or anything in the world. But as some of you might know. Last sunday was the final Gold Cup Match in soccer. The U.S won against Mexico.After the game they didnt even show the whole Ceremony, and when they were interviewing Donovan they had comments written across the Gringo Team Won which I thought that was sooo rude. But anywho. As soon as the whole thing was over Mexican people started commenting on how the United States Sucks, And that Mexico Is always and always will be number 1. And to make matters worse they started making rude remarks about the central american countries, when they had nothing to do with their loss in the gold cup game. I remember one person saying that the Mexico was ontop of The United States Kinda Like saying that Mexico Rules The U.S. and some people whom even said that Mexicans Hate the U.S. Im Hispanic and Love it here in the U.S
How do I deal with my disrespectful and arrogant nephew?
I'm hoping you're a troll cause otherwise you have some severe mental issues and should not be let out in public. The only word that comes to mind when reading this is "crazy"
Why do I feel people are always arrogant or disrespectful toward me. How do I get over that?
You know what, Make those people regret for being arrogant to you. Now you will wonder how can you do that. Simple, just be overly Polite to them.Once my brother told me that YOU DON’T ALWAYS HAVE TO MEAN WHAT YOU SAY!For eg., I can SAY sorry without MEANING it. Similarly, behave too sweet and polite to those people without meaning a word. Also Ignorance is a bliss. Never react to those fools cause you know your worth and only empty vessels make sound. Always remember Karma is a bitch. Believe in it. Stay happy, no words can have the power to hurt you physically.
My parents say I am disrespectful and selfish?
I am 15 and lately I've been getting fed up with my insanely over-controlling parents. Like seriously, I am not allowed to do ANYTHING. No phone, facebook, banned from emailing, no hanging out with friends, dating, wearing shorts, etc. For the past week, I have been having a "who cares" attitude and talking back to them when they say I do something wrong (this is because at the beginning of this week my dad threw all my jeans away as they were too tight), so I am being bad to show them that I am upset. For example, yesterday my parents took me to eat at their friend's house. I was there for 4 hours and I had homework, so I kept on complaining to go home (in front of the hosts, which I realize was insensitive, but I was mad at the time). My dad said that I was being selfish then. Today my dad thought I was trying to pick a fight with my sister (she needed the laptop, which I didn't remember where it was, but then I remembered that it was in my backpack). He got mad and accused me of lying. Earlier this week, he told me to help my sister with her homework, and I walked over, but didn't respond because he was already helping her. Then I walked away. He got upset about that too because I was being "arrogant" and not listening to my dad and thinking that I am better than him. Today, I asked politely to go over to a friend's house (I rarely get to), and I said that I would write my essay for sunday school before I left. But he said no. And then I didn't write the essay immediately (I was going to the next day) and he got mad because I "don't pay interest in the religion". He thinks that I am selfish, arrogant and very bad. He thinks we will dump them in a nursing home when they are old (idk... I think he's insecure about that). And he's yelled at me so much this week and made me cry so much, and he thinks HE is the one who is being wronged? Am I not too? I know that I am being bad by disrespecting, but I am really fed up! what do I do to get my parents happy with me again? ANd for the record, I am generally a very good kid, I help siblings, I try to help with chores, I get very good grades (4.0) and i try. But sometimes it gets too hard! idk, I know no one will read or answer this but ok. I just had to get this out. please answer.
Why do people think leos are arrogant and shallow?
1. There are no shallow signs, just shallow people. 2. "Arrogance" is a characterization usually reserved to describe strong personalities when they meet weaker personalities, and the weaker personalities don't like it one bit! Therefore, the weaker calls the stronger "arrogant".
