Kind things to say to someone who is stuck

It can be hard to watch a friend or a loved one who is stuck in a negative situation. They may be dating a total loser, can’t find the right career path or they are abusing their health? When a person is stuck they are not living up to their true potential or creating the life they are truly worthy of living.

We all have the power to change our lives but some people can’t see that they are actually in charge of their own destiny. They blame others or think that outside circumstances dictate their reality, when in fact it is the action they take and how they think about a certain situation that creates the circumstances of their life.

People have to want to get unstuck from their situation

When you care about someone, you want to step in and make the situation better, but the truth is the only person who has the power to get unstuck is the person themselves. We can’t change something for someone body else, they have to want the change and be willing to put in the work to make it happen.

You are under no obligation to listen to endless complaining about the situation they have got themselves into. A friend of mine used to complain that she was single, I told her she needed to take action or she would remain in the same situation. Low and behold, she found the man of her dreams online and is living her happily ever after.

If you want to give someone a wakeup call, and let them know you think that they’re stuck, use one of our great sayings below.

Clever replies when people call you a Goth

Clever replies when people call you a GOTH

Urban dictionary defines a Goth as, “someone who finds beauty in things others consider dark. They love all that is dark and mysterious.”

I have received so many emails from people asking what to say when people call you a Goth, well, this post is for y’all.

If you are a Goth you may have been picked on or singled out at school for being different. People who like to conform probably don’t appreciate your unique and creative style.

Wherever you go there are the mainstream people and then there are people on the fringes who don’t like cookie cutter homogenous things. It is great to be your own person, to be different and unique. Nobody ever did anything exceptional in the world trying to be like everyone else.

Here are a few things you can say when people give you a hard time for being a Goth.

Top ten things to say to someone acting like a doormat

by Leave a Comment

What to say to a friend being treated like a doormat

Doormats are people who don’t set boundaries with others and allow people to treat them like rubbish. It can be painful to watch others treat someone close to you like a doormat. It could be your girlfriend who lets her boyfriend treat her like crap or your cousin who lets everyone borrow his homework and car.

We all need to learn the ability to stand up to other people and set clear boundaries. When you change your response to how people treat you, they will change their behavior accordingly.

At the end of the day, we teach people how to treat us and what we allow will continue. If we start saying no to certain requests from people, eventually they will stop asking.

I had one friend who was a total user she would use me to get invited to parties and meet new crew members for the airline we worked for. I let it go on for a couple of months until I realized who she really was. I decided to stop sharing which events I was attending, so she couldn’t invite herself along and I started phasing her out.

She no longer had the opportunity to use me and I didn’t even have to verbally confront her. I didn’t want to waste my energy confronting her because he was not someone I wanted to be friends with.

If you have someone in your life who is behaving like a doormat, say something from the list below to give them a wakeup call to change their behaviour.

What to say to someone acting like a doormat

  1. Being a good person does not mean you have to put up with other people’s crap.
  2. You can be a good person with a kind spirit and tell people to f*ck off when needed.
  3. It’s better to let someone walk away from you than walk all over you.
  4. Stop crying about being a doormat and pick yourself up off the floor.
  5. If someone isn’t treating you properly it’s time to stop blaming them. You decide your worth.
  6. Saying yes to happiness means saying no to people and things that stress you out.
  7. You should not have to rip yourself in to pieces to keep others whole.
  8. Unless you want to be trodden on, don’t be a doormat.
  9. You teach people how to treat you, by what you allow, and what you reinforce.
  10. What you allow is what will continue.

Funny comebacks when you are called smarty pants

by Leave a Comment

What to say when you are called smartie pants

Urban dictionary defines smarty pants as someone who displays intelligence in an annoying way.

Smarty pants can be a cleaned up way of calling a person a smart ass, it is not a compliment, and they are basically telling you that you’re too smart for your own good.

Maybe you put in the time at school or your profession showed amazing discipline and took risks and created an amazing life for yourself. People who haven’t got anything going on always have something negative to say but nothing to contribute.

People will criticize and be envious, but they themselves are not willing to necessarily put in the work.Keep on shining bright and being who you are. Don’t let low level people upset you.

What to say to someone who has stood you up

What to say when someone stands you up

When someone stands you up, it says so much more about them than it does about you. It basically tells you that the individual has very little respect for other people, acting that it is OK to treat people that way.

Jackson went to an elementary school with a kid called Kyle, who loved to stir up trouble, and sought attention without earning it.

Kyle was the kind of person who often had bad intent, and would cause drama in the class group chat, often personally against Jackson, who brushed it off. From this sly bullying behavior, Jackson never really liked Kyle, but time had moved on and they hadn’t seen each other for a couple of years.

Years later In high school, Jackson received a text from Kyle asking him to meet up because he wanted to discuss something with him. Jackson waited a day or so before responding and agreeing because truth be told, he really didn’t want to see Kyle, as he was so busy with school and his part-time job.

Out of kindness, he decided that he would go, thinking maybe Kyle had changed as a person. Truly, his old classmate couldn’t be worse than who he used to be, Jackson thought. They arranged to meet at a food court. Jackson brought a friend with him, so that if Kyle caused any trouble or “got-you pranks”, he would have an observer there.

Kyle was a no show that day, he stood Jackson up, with no communication, wasting Jackson’s time and flaming any revitalizing of the relationship. Kyle showed he hadn’t changed, in fact, he was still the same insignificant little turd that he had always been.

If someone stands you up without a valid reason or attempt to communicate correction and apology, don’t waste another minute of your life on that person again. They are not worth thinking about for even a moment of your precious time.

If the person contacts you after standing you up or being no show, here are a few things you can say to let them know they are irrelevant.
