In this brief instructional video, speaker Shanli Liu, CPA, CTP, offers viewers three concise, assertive replies to the comment "You look tired." The first reply, "And that's supposed to make me feel better?", frames the remark as rude and forces the speaker to retract or apologize. The second, "Did you really say that out loud?", signals that the comment was inappropriate. The third, "So coffee's on you then?", uses humor to defuse tension. An additional optional deflection, "Let's not get into who looks like what," is suggested for casual settings. The video concludes with a call to action for viewers to try the responses and follow the channel.

What to say when someone says, "You look tired." Number 1, respond with, "And that's supposed to make me feel better?" It's a question that they can't answer yes or no without admitting that what they said was pretty rude. Most likely, you're gonna get them to withdraw the statement or apologize. Number 2, respond with, "Did you really say that out loud?" What you're sending is a signal that what they just said wasn't a good idea. And number 3, respond with, "So coffee's on you then?" Right? And if you're with a friend, you can always try, "Let's not get into who looks like what." And that's how to respond when someone says, "You look tired." So try that and follow me.
