When you're condescending, you're essentially descending down on someone else to gain superiority or power.
Ever felt like someone was talking down to you? In this episode of Levelheaded Talk, Dr. Andrea Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero dive into the prickly topic of condescension in relationships and professional settings. They explore why some people feel the need to assert superiority and the negative impact it has on those around them. Dr. Vitz, with her wealth of experience working with couples and CEOs, offers practical advice on recognising and changing condescending behaviour.
She highlights the importance of tone, noting how an uptone can unintentionally come across as patronising. The episode also touches on the broader implications of condescension, such as how it affects trust and attractiveness, and why it never truly helps in resolving conflicts. With a mix of personal anecdotes and professional insights, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to improve their communication skills and build more respectful relationships.
So, are you ready to ditch the superiority complex and foster genuine connections?
