In this brief instructional video, the speaker explains how dismissiveness in arguments stems from avoiding personal responsibility for one’s words and actions. The core advice is to take ownership when apologizing, avoiding phrases like “I’m sorry you feel that way,” which shift blame onto the listener. Instead, the speaker recommends direct ownership statements such as “I’m sorry that my behavior made you feel that way,” or a simple “I’m sorry.” The video urges viewers to adopt this approach in their interactions and to follow the speaker for more guidance.

How to not be dismissive in an argument. It's easy. Just take ownership of your own words and your own actions instead of pushing it off on the other person. For example, if you say, "I'm sorry you feel that way" to somebody, it's not an apology at all. It's very dismissive because you take zero ownership of your own words and your own actions. Instead, try something like, "I'm sorry that my behavior or my conduct, my actions, my words made you feel that way." Or, Just try, "I'm sorry," period. But at least take ownership for what you're doing. So try that and follow me.
