When Someone Puts Words in Your Mouth #shorts

What to do when someone puts words in your mouth. You spit them back out. That means number 1, when somebody tries to assume your words or assume your intent with something like, you don't even care, this doesn't matter to you, this isn't important to you. Instead of getting defensive, you will calmly assert yourself and say, I get to decide that. What you're saying is the only person who can tell me how I feel is me. Number 2, use their word against them. Instead of getting defensive and saying, that's not true, that's not what I said, just use their word and flip it. For example, "You don't care about this." "No, what I care about is—" "This isn't important to you." "No, what's important to me is—" When you use their word to support your position, it's much more effective. And number 3, avoid the vortex. When somebody says, "Oh, so what you're saying is you just think I'm a terrible person." There's no winning in that situation. The only thing you can do is stay above it and stay dry. For example, "You will know what I've said when I've said it." Those are your words, not mine. And that's how to keep somebody's words out of your mouth. So try that and follow
