People are usually pushed away by condescending attitudes.Condescension involves talking to others and acting like you are more important than them.This kind of behavior can cause someone to end up being lonely.If you remember to put others first, practice humility, and monitor your body language, you can overcome condescending behavior.You can learn to put others first by listening to what others have to say, and by considering other opinions.When interacting with others, speak at a normal pace and avoid body language that is impatient.
Step 1: Listen more.
Try to listen to other people's opinions instead of talking all the time.Don't just listen, but actively listen to what the person is saying.Take a few minutes to digest the information and understand the point that they are making.Don't formulate your answer while they're talking.Provide an adequate response.You are saying that by being a vegetarian you are also conscious of the environment.That is an interesting point.I didn't think of it from that angle.Keeping eye contact with the speaker, nodding occasionally, and asking clarifying questions will help you practice active listening.
Step 2: Give them credit for their hard work.
It's normal to want to feel good and give yourself some credit.Chances are you didn't accomplish it all by yourself.You can always count on someone, like a friend, family member, mentor, or coworker, to support your efforts.Give your supporters the credit they deserve.I couldn't have gotten into law school without the support of my friends and family.When my motivation was low, they were always there to cheer me up.
Step 3: Take other viewpoints into account.
It is always a good idea to acknowledge other viewpoints in a positive way.It's better to allow the speaker to finish what they're saying and not interrupt with counter-arguments.You don't gain anything by attacking the speaker or putting them down.In your response, be honest, open, and candid.That's an interesting point.Some argue that pit bulls and German shepherds are not aggressive.It depends on their training.What do you think about that?
Step 4: A helping hand is required.
You helped someone be better, instead of feeling better because you know how to do something better.You can make lasting friends by helping others.If a coworker struggles with their writing, offer to read and edit it and give feedback.
Step 5: Do you know your self-worth?
Insecurity and fear of rejection are what Condescension comes from.By knowing your self-worth, you can feel more secure.You are less likely to put others down if you feel more secure.Make a list of your strengths, weaknesses, accomplishments, and failures.You can assess your self-worth by knowing these.One of your strengths could be that you are highly motivated, while a weakness would be ignoring opinions that are different from yours.If you need help, ask a friend or family member what traits they admire about you the most, and which ones they think need to be worked on.
Step 6: You don't want to compare yourself to other people.
You can only feel better about yourself if you feel superior to others.Your life experiences, strengths, and weaknesses are unique to you.Since their experiences and circumstances are not the same as yours, it's pointless to compare yourself to other people.
Step 7: You can put yourself in perspective.
You take pride in your qualities if you are good at something.It is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you are better than other people.illusory superiority is what this is called.You don't have to feel bad about yourself or minimize your own good qualities if you realize that many other people have these qualities as well.
Step 8: You should have an open mind.
You don't know everything and your opinion is just an opinion.You shouldn't look down on someone just because they have a different opinion.Have an open mind.Look for similarities instead of differences.If you have a negative view of a religion or culture, interview someone from that culture.If you want to listen and learn, you should not argue or confirm your suspicions.
Step 9: Monitor your words.
Belittling others ruins your ability to relate to others.It makes others feel inferior while you feel superior.You can be more aware of condescending language and its effects by monitoring your words and actions.Don't say things like, "Oh, you just figured that out," "Let me see if I can put this in simple terms for you," or "What she is trying to say is that..."We are incorporating it.
Step 10: Speak at a good pace.
Slowing your speech will make the person listening feel inferior since it is the way an adult speaks to a child.Don't assume that someone is the problem when you explain something to them.It is more likely that you don't know what you're talking about.Don't say, "I."will.Be.The person is studying.The.Way.Humans.interactIn.I will be studying the way humans interact in groups.I want to explain what I mean by interact.
Step 11: If you refer to yourself in the third person, be careful.
You get an air of superiority when you refer to yourself in third person.If you don't want it to seem condescending, you should not do it.If you are referring to yourself, don't say, "She won a prestigious award for her paper."Try not to mention my opinion in your speech, for example, "My opinion is that my book is the better book."
Step 12: Put your head and chin together.
Keep your head and chin level while talking.You will appear superior if you point your chin up and look down.This head position tells you that your opinion is more important and valid than the other person's.Loud sighs, eye-rolling, constantly looking at your phone, drumming your fingers, and yawning are some of the impatient body language.
