Ten things to say to someone who wants to quit

We’ve all feel like quitting at certain points of any big undertaking, whether it be a university degree, an online business or a career goal.

When a person wants to quit, they get to a point where they feel they can’t go farther because things become boring, repetitive or too challenging. If they quit, they will be starting off fresh in a new situation, and will most likely find themselves in a similar reality as the one they left behind. The best solution is to break through the challenge barrier, change their thinking about the situation and keep and keep on going.

If they have tried to accomplish their goal, and the results aren’t coming it can be very frustrating. That’s when most people feel like quitting and giving up. Sometimes we need to change our approach and reevaluate the goal. Doing the same thing and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.

You can’t do something for someone, all you can do is offer encouragement and support. Here are a few things you can say to someone who feels like quitting.

What to say when someone wants to quit

It is a slow process but quitting won’t speed it up.
When you think about quitting think about why you started.
If you keep going you won’t regret it. If you give up you will.
Winners are not people who never fail but people who never quit.
The struggle is temporary, quitting is permanent.
You’ve got what it takes but it will take everything you’ve go
If your going to quit anything, quit being lazy, quit making excuses and quit waiting for the right time.
You haven’t failed until you quit trying.
If you are not excited about it, then it’s not the right path.
The greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeeed is always to try one more time.

What to say when you are asked why you unfollowed someone on social media

by 1 Comment

When you block or unfollow someone on social media you are sending a pretty strong message that you don’t value the relationship and you want the person out of your life permanently. If someone is bullying you or being verbally abusive, you have every right to unfriend the person.

You are under no obligation to have crappy people who treat you poorly in your life. If you have been on a rampage defriending and blocking people be prepared that people who you previously considered friends may ask you why. We get that you don’t want to be friends with the petty girl from high school who likes to gossip about everyone and posts 5 provocative selfies a day. Life is too short to have people clogging up your social media feed with their constant drivel.

If they ask you why you deleted them you don’t want to start a war with someone and waste tons of energy thinking about and trying to resolve the situation. Once you block someone and they have been scrubbed from your account, block the person from your mind as well and move on.

Here are a few things you can say to let the person know why you unfollowed them on social media without things getting explosive.

Top ten comebacks for someone who bad mouths others

by 2 Comments

It can be awkward if you are hanging out with someone and they start bad mouthing some of your mutual friends. You know the old saying if someone gossips to you they will gossip about you.

Try not engage in conversations that tear other people down. You may not feel comfortable saying something back, but at some point, you have to stand up for your friends who aren’t there. If you don’t say something, you will become known as someone who gossips as well.

Don’t tell me what was said about me. Tell me why they were so comfortable to say it to you. – Jay Z

Mandy, who was in high school, had a nasty side and loved to badmouth others and stir up drama. There was a teacher at her high school that she didn’t like because he called her on her bad behaviour in class. She started spreading rumours about her teacher with the other kids, saying that he hit on girls and he had flirted with her, even though it wasn’t true. An evaluation of student safety was sent around to the classes, and she wrote down that this particular teacher made her feel unsafe, even though he had never done anything to her.

Mandy’s bad mouthing caused this teacher to be called in by the school principal, who luckily knew that Mandy was a troublemaker and didn’t take it any further. If the principal hadn’t been switched on, the badmouthing could have negatively affected the teacher’s career.

Use our clever comebacks and leave the person who bad mouths others speechless, let them know it is not OK to talk about people negatively.

Top ten comebacks for people who badmouth others

People who talk crap about others will be reincarnated as toilet roll.
When you talk so much crap about others I don’t know whether to hand you toilet roll or a breath mint.
I can’t respect you if you talk shit about all of the people who you run with.
If you go around bad mouthing people behind their back, the risk you run is at some point that they are going to talk to each other.
Too bad you can’t count jumping to conclusions and running your mouth as exercise.
I hope you don’t choke on all that shit you talk.
If you ran like your mouth you’d be in great shape.
I believe in freedom of speech but some people need to know when to shut up.
Since you love talking shit behind peoples backs so much, you may as well bend down and kiss my ass while you’re down there.
You have a bad case of spewing shit from the mouth. I hope you get well soon.

What to say when someone tells you to mind your own business

by 1 Comment

When someone tells you to mind your own business they are basically annoyed and have had enough of your advice. They are rudely letting you know that the conversation is over and that you need to back off.

If someone keeps coming and asking for your advice and then tells you to mind your own business it can be confusing and hurtful, unless of course you’re meddling and you should mind your own business.

It’s never a good idea to get wrapped in other people’s drama or waste your time helping them continually figure things out. Often people go to others for advice and then turn around and blame someone else when things don’t work out.

If somebody tells you to mind your own damn business and you want to put them in their place, use one of our comebacks below.
