Why do people resort to personal attacks when you are right about something? How do you deal with these people? Vol. 553 June 18, 2020
This was a question that was asked by a Quoran that I thought was important to share with my weblog readers. So here is how I answered it:
It is really all about feeling intimidated, believe it or not. People who feel good about themselves never have to demean others to feel more powerful, ever. Think of the people in your life that acted as mentors. They served that role because they were secure in who they were and wanted to be helpful. They had nothing to prove at all, never needing to force their opinions on you, did they?
Now, think about the people who feel the need to attack you. What one usually finds is someone who has little self-esteem, maybe is carrying a lot of anger, and therefore has to force their opinions on you.
The way that you handle such people is to let them know that their opinions really don’t have any impact on you because you understand that they are really not in control of their own emotions, because if they were they wouldn’t be so controlling of you and your input.
Let them also know that you are going to be spending much less time if any around them, because you have much better people to spend your time with, being those with whom have shared interests and with whom you feel happy being around.
