Seven Super Ways to Avoid Pupils Commentary

This challenging world is full of criticism and it’s very difficult to perceive other people’s comments and opinions. The main thing is to ignore what others think and say about you; otherwise it can hold you back in life. Moreover, a negative commentary from someone can affect your mood if you care too much about it. 

On the other hand, if you care about what other people think about you in a healthy way, you can gain valuable feedback and become all-rounded. I hope these 7 reasons will help you realize that there is no need to get caught in an endless loop about people’s commentary.

1. It’s not about you

You should remember that not all things that others may say or think are really about you. Other people’s words and comments are just their personal vision of the situation. Moreover, there are a lot of ill-bred and inexperienced people who are used to criticize things they don’t know. You cannot change the perception and the state of mind of negative people. So, you should ignore the negative comments and destructive words, which can ruin your day.

2. Take the nuggets of truth

Another idea is to sift through the comments and analyze what is truth and what is a lie. Only you can analyze and judge the info, because you know yourself better than anyone else. If you are a self-critical person, then you can learn some useful things from these comments. If not, then try to ignore these emotional attacks and go on with your day.

3. People tend to share their bad mood

Nowadays many people tend to damp someone’s spirits if they have a bad day. You should realize that there is nothing personal, but the product of one’s bad day. Maybe they have got up on the wrong side of the bed or missed their morning coffee. If you’ve noticed that your workmate is in a bad mood, you should stay reasonable and don’t take their negative words and comments too hard. Just enjoy your day!

4. One person – one opinion

The opinion of your negative co-worker isn’t the voice of the whole planet. Nowadays there are more than 7 billion people on earth. That’s why you should stop worrying and wasting time. If you are very sensitive and vulnerable person, then one negative comment will be enough to ruin your day. You should try to ignore other people’s comments.

5. Rude and crazy people

This world is full of crazy and rude people. They don’t have the slightest idea on how to make a polite conversation and often end up hurting people around by their rude comments. The only way is to disregard the opinions of such people. Never ever try to justify yourself. If they resort to comments, nothing you say will make a difference, so don’t even try. Stay away from such people as far as possible. Try to listen to the words of supportive and level-headed people.

6. Only you know who you are

You should remember that you are the only one who knows your nature, beliefs, traditions and values. If a stranger doesn’t like your values, you shouldn’t worry about this fact, because it’s absolutely normal. Tastes differ, that’s why many people have different visions of the world, upbringing and level of personal development. You should practice being open-minded instead of defensive about negative words and comments of others. Such life approach will help you improve yourself and learn how to deal with criticism.

7. Don’t let others ruin your day

It’s up to you if you let them ruin your day, or if you learn to stand up for yourself and accept yourself just the way you are. Don’t let other people’s comments change your mood. If you cannot avoid rude comments addressed to you, then keep your cool and respond with politeness. Joel Osteen once said, “When someone is rude, keep a smile on your face. When you stay on the high road and keep your joy, you take away their power.”
