How do I put my foot down without being rude myself?
I can certainly see why this would bother you. No one likes a rude person, but I bet rude people have been around a lot longer than “as of late” . You may just be noticing it penetrating your social circle now!
Say you’re telling me a story about something that happened at the beauty counter in Sephora. It’s a great story and I am listening. To show you I am listening, I keep giving you verbal cues.“Do not tell me it was the same one you specifically said not to use!” I might burst out. The point is, you might have been taught that smiling and nodding and keeping your mouth shut is polite. I might have been taught that engaging through talking, or cooperative overlap, is polite. We have been taught that each of those things communicates that we are listening and engaged in what the other person is saying. Yet we both may find each other’s communication styles rude. Neither are right; neither are wrong.
