If you feel like you’re not being heard, try saying it in a different way. If your current approach isn’t effective, try something else.
Have you noticed that the way you behave towards others, they often reflect that back at you like a mirror? If you change what you put out there, you change what you get back.
Doing bad behaviour to get attention often just brings the consequences for that behaviour. Try talking instead about what it is you actually want.
The best way to get someone’s attention is to ask for it. Ask directly and politely: “I would like your attention for something, are you free now?”
Using the same usernames for the places you visit socially online makes it easy for someone else to build up a picture of you and what you’ve shared with your online friends across interests.
Instead of trying to be spiteful back to someone, break the cycle by behaving in a better way yourself. They may learn from this; they may not. Either way, it affects you less.
Doing a spiteful act back to someone to “see how they like it” rarely has the desired effect of stopping them doing it again; in fact, they’ll often try to be spiteful back to you just for doing it back to them.
It is better to praise someone than ridicule them, in every circumstance. You both get a lot more from the praising.
Don’t let a bad situation affect the outcomes of other things during the rest of your day. Any ‘bad day’ can be put ‘right’ if you decide to.
“Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, ‘I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.” – Ann Landers
