What to Say to Dismissive Replies

The Jefferson Fisher Podcast

Someone brushes off their rude comments with, “It was just a joke.” Or they tell you, “Don’t take it personally,” or, “You’re too sensitive.” 

These comments might seem small. But they can slowly tear down your self-esteem. 

The good news? You don’t have to let them shake you. 

In this episode, I’m sharing 3 simple ways to respond to dismissive comments.

These strategies will help you protect your self-esteem, stand your ground, and respond to dismissive comments with confidence.
