What does being misunderstood feel like?
It can leave you feeling helpless, shameful, impatient and angry, especially at the person you want to share with. Most of us experience this on a weekly if not daily basis. You know that feeling, when looking into the eyes of another person and seeing the look of utter confusion, or worse.
What happens when someone is rude to you for no reason?
When someone is rude for no reason, especially a stranger, it’s rarely a personal assault, even if you accidentally did something to irritate them. People aren’t mean for the sport of it, or because they are against you; people are mean to cope.
Should you stand up for yourself when others disrespect You?
If you allow others to disrespect you as a rule, everyone assumes you don’t mind. And to top it off, probably no one is really aware of your silent suffering — other than those who might go through the same. The truth is, if you don’t stand up for yourself, no one will.
How do you deal with rude people?
By avoiding habitually rude people, you take away their audience and give them fewer targets to lash out at. A lack of an audience will also defuse the situation. If everyone around them begins giving them a wide berth, perhaps it will be a wake-up call. And if not, it will at least help everyone else have a better day.
Is it bad to not stand up for yourself?
No one will want to deal with you. However, my point is not to confuse being a bad person with standing up for yourself. Anger is the emotional indicator of disrespect and injustice. Hiding anger, in turn, is the emotional sign that you will allow it to happen.
