Frame It
Has someone upset you or acted irrationally? Maybe it has nothing to do with you. We can only see what others present to us. Most of the time someone’s disrespectful attitude has nothing to do with you and more to do with the state they are in or stressors they are dealing with. Knowing this makes it easier to refrain from reciprocating with criticism and instead offering assistance.
