I agree. The problem with managing expectations too much, however, is that you can become a doormat like I used to be, or slightly be here, and there or for awhile if it's for that situation. This is actually where managing expectations can be a lifesaver because you finally realized that you're in this hopeless situation and it's time to move on. HOWEVER...THERE IS FINE LINE between covert contract and reasonable expectations.. I got to a point where I lowered my expectations enough where I lowered the bar into the Center of the Earth's core.. I WON'T DO THAT TO MYSELF AGAIN. and I'm not even talking about romance really but a bad friendship and a bad family situation I got out of recently. The way out, she says halfway through the video, is to assertively confront. I agree! It's better than a trade off of silent treatments or whatever...I'm too old for that shit at 47!

The old phrase "once, shame on you.....twice shame on me" Depending on a friend to show up at an agreed-to time and place..... when they have stood you up 3 times before.... Check your expectations hits the nail on the head. Why do I keep expecting different/better behavior when this friend continues to drink to the point of not remembering commitments. This says more about ME trying to make someone be who they are not.......
I’ve been following you for a few weeks and all I’m hearing makes huge sense to me. I grew so much, you built that confidence in me, this understanding of people around me, that make my everyday much better and fulfilled. Thank you for teaching me to be the person that I am today. That makes my everyday more meaningful, complete and joyful. Thanks, Julia! Everyone needs a guiding light to bring the best of her/him! Thank you for being that North Star for me, for us!❤️⭐️
I think a big part of not being emotionally reactive to someone in conflict is about dropping what you think you're 'supposed' to feel. We're conditioned to think that someone being aggressive towards you justifies the same thing back, almost like it's a given and you have full permission to be angry. But if we drop that conditioning, we can choose to respond in the best way.
Renew your mind to overcome the anger. This causes the conditioning to fall away. You will start overcoming “your” emotions, which are controlling you , and start acting instead of reacting. Btw no such thing as emotional intelligence, emotional stupidity would be far more accurate
I think we always have permission to be angry, but how we deal with that anger is what makes the difference. By making anger "not okay" you are basically pressing it into the shadow because you reject that angry part of yourself.
I stand my ground: After 65 years of living, 2 things stand out: 1) In the end, despite all the "social norms" intense bantering claims exist, I was the sole rider in whatever "Calvary" came to my rescue... right down the line, to present day... 2) Over those 65 years, I've noticed more & more, a distinct underlying psychosis pervading almost every aspect of social interaction... The only difference now is it's almost "worn on their sleeve as a badge of honor" whereas 50+ years ago, it was much more hidden, still there, but more covertly expressed. No one talked about it then, almost like they were ashamed of the reality that it even existed... If you calmly & steadfastly assert your boundaries, but they constantly get pushed, tested, &/or blatantly stomped... at that juxtaposition, there is no choice but to quietly DOORSLAM: they, by their own actions, have made their intentions crystal clear, & I'm not having it!!! I have more self-respect, integrity, SELF-LOVE, & honor, to allow such balderdash to continue. I contend that ADDICTION TO APPROVAL....AT ANY COST, drives the vast majority of it, including gang tactics, bullying, racist superiorities, never mind all the psychosis allowed to perpetuate through "blind-eye tolerance" of the behaviour(s). In the end, you HAVE to stand for something...or you'll fall for anything. I've reached my "Popeye Moment" where I just don't care anymore... Gray hair is NOT a sign of weakness...its a WARNING.💜
This is a good beginning! Can you speak more to those of us who just lack skills so we fear conflict? Can you also speak to those of us who feel intimidated and act out in defense? How do I control the intense vulnerable reaction that goes with being intimidated?
I really had forgotten who I am. I am realizing more everyday just how much was my own choices. You speak well when it has to do with such deep levels of .
Great video. I got 4 of the 5 ways. I must have missed one. 1. Get curious 2. Managing your mind around what happened 3. Check your expectations 4. Ask questions first 5. ? Thank you for this valuable info! Always looking for ways to find effective communication skills!
Ahhh yes! SO many of my clients are conflict avoidant. It can feel so hard to deal with the discomfort that comes up here. I love the way you describe this!!
Thanks for this video Julia. I had a conflict today and it was the first time I didn't react, I found a place of neutrality and I'm proud of myself for following what you said in another video on passive aggressive people "I'm sensing you're feeling this way, can we talk about it?" I let the other person cry their all or nothings at me. And it felt like I was watching a movie, I managed to see that they were saying these hurtful things not because of me, but because they have a lot of inner negativity to deal with. Do these openings ring a bell "You always dismiss me... You never listen...", "I listen to people even though I don't want to, so I expect that of you too"? I can't change how this person behaves, but I can try to control myself.
I really appreciated the idea of: more closeness with someone = more friction with them Or how avoiding conflict = bringing up conflict in the future So it's best to try to "resolve in a more productive way"! Thank you for your videos!
Hi. I am Dr. Michelle. I am totally on board with everything you say. It’s just amazing how people like you are so helpful to everyone!! In this time of the Pandemic, I as a health care worker have a lot of background stress and anxiety going on as anyone else whether or not a part of this fraternity. I request you to make a video on how to recognise and deal with the background stress and anxiety because we feel fine otherwise but our bodies show all the signs of anxiety like sleeplessness, GI symptoms, body aches, loss of appetite, etc.
I find either I don't say anything at all or I'm mad and let the person know that. I'm thinking about my work colleagues and how I don't want to feel awkward around them but I also need to stand up for myself as they are treating me with no respeact. I'm lucky to have a supportive team manager however, the same people keep repeating their bad behaviour. I would normal not waste my time on people like this but I enjoy my work and don't want to leave.
I absolutely love this video. Is so helpful I can't even start! Also I love how you frame and communicate your ideas. With clarity but also compassion. I love you Julia.thx a lot
Wow....so I know I’m going to have to listen to this a few more times. 😲....I sure needed this right now..and it feels like I came across this video at the precise time I was meant to fully hear and internalize it.

Managing our own minds, emotions, and perceptions will help with dealing conflict better. It not about changing the other person, it's about changing how we respond
Hello Julia, This was a very timely debrief for my conflict of the day which didn't end as desired but did end as expected. This is one of those I'd like to avoid but I have to brave into for my own sanity and self respect. For the most part, I'm proud of the way I handled it but still needs improvement. The conflict reveals the truth I need to accept in order to stop myself from being deceived into supporting someone who in return willfully hurts me. Thanks for posting your videos they are very supportive and helpful.
New here and interested in counselling and psychology (soon to become a professional counsellor)! I have a feeling I will learn lots of things in here! Loved today's topic, very relevant!
It's hard when it's someone very close to you, doing things for themselves, knowing how much it hurts me... but continues. Even though they said they wouldn't do it anymore. We have tried negotiating & that didn't work either. I've tried asking why they do this & they shut down and quit talking. I just found your site today. Hopefully you can help me more with my situation.
Julia, around the 11 minute mark you talk about knowing that what you’re going to do is likely to hurt someone but you’re going to do it anyway, and how that is related to not caring. I think that it’s possible to care very much and realize that we can’t always please other people and we need to do what’s best for ourselves in some situations despite how it might impact somebody else, fill well knowing and caring thar it is like going to cause discomfort in the other person. I think our own discomfort is a great messenger and when we prevent other people from ever experiencing any discomfort then we are taking away opportunities for them to learn.
Hi. This my third time watching one of your videos. Very critical information. I tend to be someone seeking resolution to conflict but not everyone is into it.
I try so hard to keep the peace.. Last year in November thanksgiving was one of the worst, I’m always on egg shells around my son. He’s 30 and has so much anger, anxiety, depression won’t sit down and talk about his feelings. I’ve asked him to please move forward be positive
😊Hello I am New to these Videos and so glad to hear the Advice, I've been going through alot of situations with so called friends ,Relationships & my family over the pass 3 years where I've been hurt in the end , taken advantage of, intimidated, pursserd to the point where I have ackes & pains in my body, instead of being straight to the point with them I tried letting them down easy & explaining why & backing off slowly then feel guilty & worried if I've done wrong or hurt them which has been so tiring ,I need the change now to help me for me now ,so thank you 😊🙏
Thanks Julia for the great video! Is it possible to insert your tips somehow in the videos so that the viewers can utilize them better in their everyday life? It would be very helpful.🌱🌱 Thanks for that.💜 Greetings from Germany..
I tend to mirror people to much, its almost subconscious at times. It gets me into trouble i have this little devil on my shoulder that says if they judge you, judge them, if they disrespect you dont respect them. Thats done more consciously, but im a direct person, but tend to turn passive agressive when people are passively aggressive to me. It never ends well because people dont like to be mirrored ive realized. I even will do that when i see someone I care about being treated poorly, i tend to be overly protective instead of letting the person defend themselves, i jump in. Its probably me projecting idk or maybe assumption. Probably because i always wanted someone to defend me when i was young. I also have been manipulated and gaslighted so many times that im defensive against it.
Stop... put yourself in the openets shoes ... How and what would you have done in reverse ... Conflict always seems more drastic initially ... First take a moment to analyse, assess, cool and then act ... you will be in a better situation then to deal with it without the smoke and heat you felt initially .. great vid Julia x
Ms. Kristina, I think you make some really great points in this presentation. Boundaries are what keeps me safe physically, mentally and emotionally. While I think forgiveness is a great tool to have in your toolbox 🧰 of life, understanding the difference between forgiveness and forgetting are two different options. Forgiveness does not mean that someone did something intentionally, reckless or even unintentionally. I think it is a give of conflict management that you give yourself. Forgetting as to the same reasoning for forgiveness is similar and different at the same time. While I work on forgiveness as to a smear campaign that I did not deserve, the fall out is still there. My bleeding 🩸 ulcers and my heart say thank you. I am a work in process. I appreciate you and I am sending love ❤️ in humanity today to you. 🤔❤️🇺🇸
Great video about dealing with conflict! What if there is conflict between 2 people who have opposing ideas to go ahead with, and each of those people disagree with the idea of the other person?
Asking someone "why did you do this" will be great with honest people, but when you are dealing with narcissists you only set yourself up to be gaslit and lied to unfortunately.
Hello. I’ve been following your channel for a few weeks now. However, this is the first time that I have commented. It all started with your video on codependency. However, I have found a lot of information that is very relevant to me! This video particularly caught my interest. In everyday casual situations I tend to be quick witted and have a fast mind. My issue is when I am confronted by anyone that is upset with me I freeze. My mind goes blank, I almost wouldn’t even be able to tell you my name in that moment. It’s like I don’t know what to say and I don’t know what to do. I can’t even think straight.
Don't give up on life and the universe I know of a great man who helped you me fix my broken hear beat relationship and everything was restored to pormal in days without delay
Same. It’s so hard. It makes it worse and drags on the conflict. I have to ask for space so I can get my mind back, figure out what was happening and what I want to say and even then it’s hard because I have so much guilt about making them wait and anxiety about getting back to them. I just get stuck. Usually for me this is only with people that are more high conflict and difficult though. I still freeze with all conflict, but manage somehow with the people that are not as emotional and stay calm.
I'm going through a Divorce,he is narcissistic and alcoholic,there was conflict all the time,and I was always the target of abuse,he got a felony for the last incident.My marriage was a living HELL.....
"Don't expect people to be any different than they have always been" is an incredibly true statement. It really is important to manage expectations.
This one is a true sanity saver.
I agree. The problem with managing expectations too much, however, is that you can become a doormat like I used to be, or slightly be here, and there or for awhile if it's for that situation. This is actually where managing expectations can be a lifesaver because you finally realized that you're in this hopeless situation and it's time to move on.

Everything that you include on here is useful for me because I have been in the dark about so many things
Time to turn the lights on.

Its probably me projecting idk or maybe assumption. Probably because i always wanted someone to defend me when i was young. I also have been manipulated and gaslighted so many times that im defensive against it.
So helpful Julia thank you!
Really glad it connected - thanks for your support Deena.
Thank you for this video
Stop... put yourself in the openets shoes ... How and what would you have done in reverse ... Conflict always seems more drastic initially ... First take a moment to analyse, assess, cool and then act ... you will be in a better situation then to deal with it without the smoke and heat you felt initially .. great vid Julia x
Ms. Kristina, I think you make some really great points in this presentation. Boundaries are what keeps me safe physically, mentally and emotionally. While I think forgiveness is a great tool to have in your toolbox 🧰 of life, understanding the difference between forgiveness and forgetting are two different options. Forgiveness does not mean that someone did something intentionally, reckless or even unintentionally. I think it is a give of conflict management that you give yourself. Forgetting as to the same reasoning for forgiveness is similar and different at the same time. While I work on forgiveness as to a smear campaign that I did not deserve, the fall out is still there. My bleeding 🩸 ulcers and my heart say thank you. I am a work in process. I appreciate you and I am sending love ❤️ in humanity today to you. 🤔❤️🇺🇸
Great video about dealing with conflict! What if there is conflict between 2 people who have opposing ideas to go ahead with, and each of those people disagree with the idea of the other person?
Excellent
Thanks this helps a lot
I really like you. Thank you so much
BRILLIANT!!!
Love your channel.
I always appreciate your support Rick.
I really appreciate this video. Could I have the link so I can practice this?
Wow, you definitely made this video for me! I made a video on a similar subject. Great minds think alike 🙃
What about dealing with conflict with people you are not close to? A work colleague or perfect stranger.
is there a reason you think the same principles don't apply?
Well, pick your battle comes to mind. Should you fight if you're never gonna see them.
Asking someone "why did you do this" will be great with honest people, but when you are dealing with narcissists you only set yourself up to be gaslit and lied to unfortunately.
Really need to hear this! ❤
Hello. I’ve been following your channel for a few weeks now. However, this is the first time that I have commented. It all started with your video on codependency. However, I have found a lot of information that is very relevant to me!
This video particularly caught my interest. In everyday casual situations I tend to be quick witted and have a fast mind. My issue is when I am confronted by anyone that is upset with me I freeze. My mind goes blank, I almost wouldn’t even be able to tell you my name in that moment. It’s like I don’t know what to say and I don’t know what to do. I can’t even think straight.
Don't give up on life and the universe I know of a great man who helped you me fix my broken hear beat relationship and everything was restored to pormal in days without delay

Same. It’s so hard. It makes it worse and drags on the conflict. I have to ask for space so I can get my mind back, figure out what was happening and what I want to say and even then it’s hard because I have so much guilt about making them wait and anxiety about getting back to them. I just get stuck. Usually for me this is only with people that are more high conflict and difficult though. I still freeze with all conflict, but manage somehow with the people that are not as emotional and stay calm.
