A short motivational/social-commentary monologue by Raele Altano arguing the central claim that rudeness signals insecurity: "rude people are not confident, and confident people are not rude." The speaker advises not to tolerate or internalize rudeness, frames rudeness as a weak imitation of strength, and emphasizes that confident people can set boundaries without demeaning others.
Okay, hear me out on this. Rude people are not confident, and confident people are not rude. I will almost always stand by this idea because it proves me right time and time again. Even if they are upset about something or they need to set a boundary, a confident person will do so without making the other person feel small and insignificant. I've never met a confident, secure person who is nasty to others for no reason. Rudeness is actually a weak person's imitation of strength, so the next time you encounter it, you don't have to tolerate it, but try not to internalize it either. And remember that rude people aren't confident and confident people aren't rude.
