Confidence booster for your communication skills:
QTIP = Quit Taking It Personally
Basically, NO one is really thinking about you.
They’re thinking about themselves. (You know that)
They are deep in THEIR world-their challenges, their issues…maybe a need to feel smarter, more helpful, or more in control.
When they make that comment, give feedback, or try to educate you… It’s often more about them being fully present in THEIR thoughts, not yours.
People are almost always speaking from their world; they’re PROJECTING.
They’re not in your head (don’t give them free rent). They’re in theirs.
So when that ‘ blunt’ statement happens, try this:
➡️ Move away (physically or mentally), take a beat to digest.
➡️ Look for a truth-a fact- and separate your ego.
➡️ Assume the best. They probably don’t realize they’re being self-centered.
Not everything is personal.
Sometimes it’s just… projection.
QTIP- One of the better communication tools you can start using.
