When They Invalidate Your Feelings #shorts
In this concise self‑help video, the speaker offers three practical ways to handle emotional invalidation. First, they suggest calmly asserting one’s feelings with the phrase “I feel how I feel,” emphasizing that emotions are personal and not up for debate. Second, they recommend using “I get to decide that” to claim personal authority over the validity of one’s emotions, making clear that only the individual can judge their feelings. Third, they advise sometimes remaining silent—providing no response—when the other person’s dismissal is a tactic to control or dismiss the emotional experience. The overall message encourages setting boundaries, affirming personal emotional truth, and choosing the most effective response based on the situation.
