Taming the Defensive Demon You Deal With - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast
Do you know someone who is difficult to get along with? Maybe they are defensive when you offer an opinion different than theirs, or maybe they constantly correct your behavior?
This kind of person is easy to deal with when they’re in your life by choice, because you can choose to cut them loose. When it’s someone you work with, it’s a lot harder, though.
It’s tough to feel wagalicious when you’re being picked at or defensively attacked, so here’s something to try: freeze.
- Don’t engage.
- Don’t respond.
- Don’t defend yourself.
Freeze. When you completely disengage from the moment and from their behavior, it confuses the difficult person. They’re ramped up for a spat – don’t give them one.
Give yourself a moment to stand there frozen, then quietly and regally walk away. They’ll learn you’re no fun to play with and they’ll focus their poor attitude somewhere else.
