5 EASY WAYS TO RESPOND TO CRITICISM AND INSULTS WITH CLASS AND ELEGANCE 

EBook: "Be Elegant While Traveling: Global Etiquette for the Sophisticated Traveler" - lucrativeelegance.hotmart.host/ebook

Sometimes a slight smile, a stare, and silence. People find silence uncomfortable and intimidating .

I had a brother in law who was always trying to provoke me with nasty comments. I "took the bait" too many times and of course an argument often ensued. However, he was stopped dead in his tracks after a very nasty comment to me, when I simply looked at him with a dead-pan look but no words, then turned my attention back to the person I was talking to. He had no way to continue to engage! "Silence IS golden" at times. 🥰

My Mother was the Queen of Nice-Nasty. She was so beautiful and all the other Officers wives were jealous. She threw garden parties and took no sh*t from the women who dissed her. She just threw it right back, with class and humor ! RIP Mother 🌹🦋

There is nothing as elegant as intelligence. Being smart changes everything.

"Is everything OK?" or "Are you OK?" - what brilliant responses, I will definitely remember them.

"Every criticism aimed at you, in reality disguised confession of admiration"

Is it even worth engaging with people who undermine you? I just smile and wish them a good day, then immediately turn my back. I won't hang around a hostile negative environment/person, I don't want them in my life, and I don't give them second chances either, or they'll do it again. Whenever someone attacks me, I think to myself, "They're advertising how unhappy and dissatisfied they are."

You just smile, nod and thank them. That will stop them in their tracks. Someone I worked with would say, "dually noted" whenever someone said anything. That was pretty funn.

I have used phrases like “thank you for your concern” or “thats an interesting point of view” and then smiled and either left the situation or went silent. Effective and classy while being dismissive and clear that it did not rattle me.

The slow look up, down then away HURTS BAD AF😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 it's my favorite

Thank you. I learned a long time ago to walk away from those who go out of their way to be rude.

My neighbours used to be abusive for no reason, often whispering and tittering, I did not hear exactly what they were saying, but I knew it wasn't nice and that it was directed against me. Their children started doing it too. So I started saying to no-one in particular, "You too!" or "And you!" or "Same to you!". Well, the insults stopped immediately!

Elegance is my secret weapon ❤

Everything said here is helpful, indeed. Being aware that it is a lot of information to share in such a short amount of time, I would like to suggest a slower, less rushed pace, if possible, in order to take it in and digest it further. Thank you.

Elegance is my "Secret Weapon," and it is ! Thank you.

The best quote is by Italo Calvino's: "It is so, if you think it is so!". It's polite, witty and disarming!😊

Elegance is my secret weapon. Thank you for your wise words.

Love this. Will also work for inappropriately questions, interruptions

The best way for dealing with criticism is to _first_ evaluate it to see if there is any truth to it. What you should do or not do next will then be obvious.

One's self confidence might have been shattered for so many years by the closest people to them that it's hard to talk about staying calm and composed in front of criticism and insults. Confident people may be able to do the things you suggest, which are great indeed, but for already shaky people, it's like asking a stiff person to perform the front split.

Elegance is my secret weapon. This video covers what happens to me more than I care to admit.

Elegance is my secret weapon 💕❤️💗

Good video. When in the moment do what makes you walk away feeling you were elegant on your response. I responded in a calm tone and smiling, "I feel like I'm being hazed. We are not in a faternity. We are not brother and sister" paused, then smiled again and changed the subject.

Veiled insults, dozens have I received!

I just wish I could memorize and perform these steps well when under pressure and scrutiny from my team lead who has bad blood over me the moment I joined the team.

This video was so interesting. I needed this in my life. Thank you!

Elegance is my secret weapon❤😊

thank you! useful information... The Devine Feminine arrives. 💕☮

Elegance is a most powerful weapon ❤

We were at a restaurant dinner and wine tasting where they served steak very rare. I don't care for rare steak and this was very rare so I wasn't eating mine. The lady across the table said "everybody eats it like this" and I said I don't. And I thought later I should have said "I'm a leader not a follower".

Excellent reminders!

I need these tips and advices big time! Thank you and greetings from Manila, Philippines.

Only the weak and vulnerable are picked off. Don’t stroll, have purpose

These are good for in person interaction but when the comments come via texting..body language doesn’t work. And then to totally ignore a jab is probably the hardest to learn for me 😔

What if the person who keeps insulting people is the one who's watching this * deep in thought face *

Elegance is my secret weapon.

Where I live they call your names and curse at you like giant toddlers, I smile and I don't react and they hate that I also kill people with kindness and use big intelligent words 🤭

Elegance is my secret weapon 💕💕🍾

Valuable advice, thank you

Elegance is my secret weapon.❤

Choice reaction to criticism is vital both for the moment and the future. While I was on my way to work at a Boutique I managed, my sister, who had been criticizing me for weeks, walked in the door looked at me and starting cynically laughing saying I looked like Michael Jackson with the hat I had on,, it was a triggering moment and I responded by saying, “well I’m having fun with my life, sorry you’re not able to”. One might think that wasn’t too bad of a response, but it was. Because looking back, my now deceased sister had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, we had hope of course, but in reality we knew the prognosis was not good with that type of cancer. She was acting out her fears and resentments, and to this day I regret what I said. This video is very right on, the best way for me to have handled that timeframe and circumstances would have been to handle it in every way this video advises. Thank you for the lesson, it’s late for me, but one I will move forward with.

Subscribed, liked n pressed bell button❤ Love listening to you😊

Good Stuf

Awe my dear One, sometimes people give criticism to help another to improve themself. It isn't accurate to say that those who critize are less than you either. 😔 And it's unfortunate that people are so fearful and weak that they cannot accept their inadequacies and then project their insecurities back onto the one who brought attention of their weakness to them. And also it is vital to take note of every criticism which comes to you and then silently meditate upon whether it's true. 🕊🙏💜🕉✡️⚛️☯️✝️☪️🕉

Some of the most decent people I know have struggled containing their emotions at times and its because they care. Haters gonna hate but dont let it dim your shine. ZEN

Interesting!

I love elegant style.!

Delighted to find your channel!

Elegant is my secret weapon ❤❤❤

Elegance is my superpower

IF you really to call the cops OR you SAY that you're GOING TO.... CALL THEM ! BC if you don't the first time, THEY WILL call your bluff EVERY TIME afterwards !

I love this video and advice is the voice AI? I can't tell.

Thanks for explaining WHY haters hate❤

In The Great Gatsby oringinal film was made in 1974 . I believe it to be a classic masterpiece in portraying characters each with a different need . Amazing work written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Robert Redford was Gatsby and Mia Farrow was Daisy Buchanan. I saw Daisy's Character as weak and shallow , her driving Gatsbys sports car Daisy hit a human then cowardly she drove on full throttle without regard . Daisy dizzy created the death of Gatsby in his pool . The Gas station owner who witnessed the incident assumed it was Gatsby behind the wheel 😮 A classic tragic tale 😊 He assumed Gatsby had run down his wife Shot Gatsby without any question.

Elegance is My Strongest Weapon

❤❤❤

παλεψα πραγματικα με αυτο. Σας ευχαριστω

Definitely 4&5

My ideal is your recommendation to comment that elegance is my personal secret weapon

Thank you ❤

What moment about Daisy Buchanan do u mean? Thks for those ideas. I'll use some. Pple are very rude in the comments section of certain YT channels

Thank you for this video. I usually use silence myself. Of course, I'm mostly deaf, which means a lot of times, I didn't hear your comment.😅 Turns out, it's probably better that I didn't hear it.😊

I remember this. Rich!

🌻💖🌻

Dozens of times, with ridicule and humiliation.

Elegance is my superweapon 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉🌹👠🍒

I stopped inviting the nasties not only to my dinner parties ( which they were eagerly looking forward to) but also to my house.🎉🎉

Thank u

Jerry Hall would kick nasty types under the table then smile sweetly at them 😅

Does the person narrating this read for audiobooks?

You don’t say! Duly Noted.

that if it is a boss kicking u out

I don’t agree with some of these. A true elegant woman doesn’t make a game out of turning the tables on people or taking their retribution on someone else with flippant contrived remarks.

Who would watch a title like this ???

Keep telling that to yourself.

Using A. Merkel as an example is just disgusting.

SHOWING YOUR SUPERIORITY, shows your inferiority. When you are trying to show disdain your not being elegant. This is more of a "how to be toxic" video.

The video is long and boring with cartoons instead of going to the point. Thank you

Close the border

That outfit is too young for you… I’m just ahead of my time. I’m just early for the next retro fad. It’s tough being a trend setter. You wore that dress before….. Why, yes of course! I’m into saving the planet, like: (Princess Catherine/Elon Musk/David Attenborough…) You’ve gained weight!… We’re in for a long cold winter. Really??? Where??? *look horrified * Yes, suits me, don’t you think?!! So, no children yet? No, but is your husband busy? 🫶🤪💕
