Episode 742 - How to Respond to The But Guy
#knowTroy #DWUpodcast #butguy #activelistening
Yesterday, I encouraged you to not be the But Guy. Today, I wanted to share with you how to respond to The But Guy. First off, don't try to combat them or disagree with them on their point. When they respond with, "but" or "actually" hear them out. Practice active listening and show them you are listening with your body language. Respond with kindness and appreciation that they were comfortable enough to give their view. Assume they are struggling with negative thoughts or going through some hard times which will help you show empathy. The only time I tell people to leave a friendship is when it's toxic. Toxic friendships are ones that suck all the joy from you and you don't feel good about yourself when you are with them.
