Telling someone directly how you feel about what they did is often uncomfortable but easier on your mind and body than holding your anger and fear inside. You might say, “I would like to share something with you because I value our relationship.” Briefly describe what happened that felt hurtful or disrespectful, say, “When I was talking, you (said or did this).” Say how their behavior made you feel—the impact, cleanly say that it felt like what you had to say was not valuable. You feel angry, frustrated, hurt, scared, or you just give up when this happens. Use “I” statements, don’t blame them for not caring or judge them for being insensitive. Ask for what you need going forward, what would you like them to do instead of what happened, again, be specific, such as asking if they could allow you to finish your sentences. End by reinforcing why you are making this request, tell them again why your relationship is important to them.

If you tolerate disrespect from them, you’ll get so. But if you don’t tolerate unacceptable behaviors from people, then no one will dare to treat you with such behavior. You set the example of the behavior you expect from the people by the behavior you tolerate. People won’t just treat you better than what you tolerate. If they see you tolerate shitty behavior, they’ll treat you like shit. No better. But if you refuse to tolerate shitty behavior from them, they’ll treat you with respect. You set the standard behavior you expect from people. Don’t tolerate the behavior you don’t want people to treat you with.
