How I Speak Up When Someone Offends Me 😅

Ever been caught off guard by something someone said? 🙈 Yeah, me too. It’s awkward, but I’ve learned how to handle it without making things worse. Here’s what works for me: • I ask them to repeat what they said—sometimes just hearing it again makes them rethink it! • If it’s a weird word or phrase, I’ll ask, “What did you mean by that?” • I try to stay chill and say, “I’m sure you didn’t mean harm, but…” • If I’m really uncomfortable, I’ll set a boundary: “I can’t keep talking if that language keeps coming up.” • When I need to, I just don’t respond—silence can say a lot. • I always use “I” statements, like “I felt hurt when you said that.” Staying calm is KEY. I remind myself: I’m sharing how I feel, not starting a fight. Sometimes, people don’t even realize they’ve crossed a line. ❤️ How do you handle these moments? #CommunicationTips #HealthyBoundaries #SpeakUp #Education
