  Speaker 1: Ever had someone take your compliment the wrong way? There
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: may have been times in the past where you thought
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: you were being nice to someone, only for it to
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: backfire and be mistaken for rudeness. If you want to
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: avoid the unintended consequences of robbing someone the wrong way,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: it's better to carefully choose our words when navigating tricky
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: social interactions. With that said, here are seven common examples
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: of things we think are polite to say, but are
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: actually rude. You look tired. Telling someone they look tired
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: may be intended as a gesture of concern, but it
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: can be received as a veiled insult, implying that the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: person looks unwell or unattractive. After all, who wants to
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: be told they look tired even if they're having a
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: rough day? Instead of pointing out their fatigue, how about
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: asking if everything's alright? That way, your genuine concern can
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: still shine through without risking unintended offence. You've lost weight.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: You look great now. Remarking on another person's weight can
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: be easily taken the wrong way, as many people struggle
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: with body image and self-esteem. Telling someone they look so
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: much better now that they've lost all that weight can
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: hurt their feelings, because it inadvertently suggests that the person
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: was not attractive or desirable before losing weight. A better
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: approach would be simply to say, wow, you look great,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: or you have a wonderful glow. This way, you can
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: share your appreciation without potentially causing any discomfort or insecurity,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and you avoid reinforcing any harmful societal norms equating thinness
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: with beauty. You're so smart or talented for your age.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Although seemingly a compliment, This remark can be subtly insulting
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: because it implies surprise and undermines their achievements. Instead of
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: emphasizing their age, it's better to focus on their skills
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and achievements outright. You can say, your intelligence and skills
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: are truly impressive. This way, you acknowledge their capabilities without
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: any hint of surprise or condescension tied to their age.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Don't worry, you'll find someone. We often tell this to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: our single friends because we hope it'll comfort them, but
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it may just unknowingly make them feel worse by creating
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: more pressure for them to settle down soon, implying that
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: just because they're single, it means they're lonely. It's more
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: compassionate to emphasize personal growth, self-love, and genuine connections by
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: saying something like, everything will happen at the right time,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: or the best chapters of your life are yet to unfold.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: regardless of your relationship status. This acknowledges that everyone's journey
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: in the realm of relationships is unique, and shifts the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: emphasis more towards internal growth and self-appreciation. You're so lucky,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about... We all have that
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: one person we somewhat envy, because it seems like their
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: life is so easy, or they have the things we want. However,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: uttering phrases like this can inadvertently dismiss the struggles or
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: responsibilities they have that we might not be aware of.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: So rather than assuming that everything comes so easily to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: them and that their life is problem-free, which is never
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the case, it's more thoughtful to say something like, I
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: really admire how you handle challenges with grace and determination. Well,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: that's one way to look at it. You might think
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: that this is a polite and non-confrontational way to disagree
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: with someone's opinions or ideas while still acknowledging them, but
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: it can easily come across as sarcasm or derision. So,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: instead of using this potentially backhanded response, try a more
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: open and respectful approach. such as saying, I appreciate your perspective.

  Speaker 1: their input without diminishing their stance. Look at the bright side.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Ever told someone to look at the bright side when
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: they were going through a tough time? Although you probably
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: intended to give them a positive perspective, Saying things like
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: this can actually invalidate their feelings and struggles. Essentially, it
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: can subtly imply that they are overreacting or not handling
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the situation well. So, the next time someone opens up
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to you about their difficulties, aim to validate their experience
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: rather than minimizing it. Try saying, that sounds so difficult,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I'm really sorry this is happening to you. Or, it
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: totally makes sense that you're feeling down, is there anything
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I can do to make things better? Misguided attempts at
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: politeness can sometimes lead to backhanded compliments or harmful advice.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: So understanding the potential negative impact of our words is
