Dr. Asiya Staff asked 2 weeks ago
Sometimes we have to live with people who are unbearable like their way of talking is not very humble,you can say they are a kind of loudmouth or blunt and it's very hard to understand sometimes that they are saying these things that makes you uncomfortable are due to their nature or they actually want to belittle you,plus confidence is a good thing but some people become overconfident and it leads to arrogance, judgement and all the negative tendencies in humans which should be balanced and eventually these people become hyperaware of boundaries like they don't give a little bit margin to even loved ones and try to point out every little mistake. So how to handle these people smartly.

Some people—as you mentioned—are 'loud-mouthed.' Whether they intend to or not, whatever method they acquire [to communicate], the other person inevitably feels humiliated (or disrespected). How should one behave with these types of people? Since they are your loved ones, your own flesh and blood, what can be done? Try to intervene [immediately]: Should you ignore the impact [of their words], disregard them, or should you make it a habit to stop them at that very moment? For instance, the moment they speak aggressively, you should speak back in a similar manner and tell them, 'It is not as you are saying. Wait.' Because these people want you to react later so they can say, 'I meant this,' or 'I didn't mean that.' Say it immediately: 'The way you are talking, it feels like you think I am a liar or you are trying to pressure me.' This is considered a good technique. You are not pressuring me, but I am feeling pressured. One thing is certain: getting upset or angry about the words of such people is completely useless."
