Nacho Núñez, communication expert: “When someone says something rude or humiliating to you, ask yourself this”
The communication expert advises to pause and think when someone says something untoward to you and above all not to take the bait.
Daily life can be harder than we imagine for many people, and in some cases the difficulty comes more from what others say about us than from our own actions. This is the topic discussed on social media by Nacho Núñez, who in this instance talks about the harmful comments we may receive at certain moments in our lives.
In his video, the communication expert explains: “When someone throws a harsh remark at you that leaves you shaken or makes a humiliating comment, pause for a second and ask yourself this: Who has the problem, them or you?”
“Them. They are the one with the problem,” says the communication expert. “When someone says something hurtful like ‘you’re a mess,’ ‘you’re worthless,’ ‘you look ridiculous,’ or ‘you never do anything right,’ that is not an opinion. It is someone expressing what they don’t know how to manage.”
“People who are at peace with themselves do not need to humiliate others or vent their emotions at your expense,” he explains. “When someone tries to make you feel small, many times they are trying to regulate their own emotions.”
External comments that can cause serious harm
Núñez continues discussing these types of remarks and the people who make them, emphasizing that in many cases they are angry “with their own life, their frustration, or their insecurity, and they look for someone to dump it on. If you take the bait, if you react from a place of emotional hurt or keep it bottled up, they have already achieved what they wanted.”
“In life you will encounter people who try to bring you down. Do not allow their negativity to consume you. But be careful. If you are the one who speaks this way, if you are the one who ridicules others, if you are the one who unloads your bad mood on the wrong people, then the problem is yours, and it is time to reflect,” he cautions.
“Do not let anyone with inner noise steal your stability, and do not turn your own inner noise into a wound for others,” Núñez concludes in the video, encouraging people not to accept this type of behavior and urging those who engage in it to look inward.
