If someone tries to make you feel less, you can respond by doing these things

We’ve all known someone who tries to make us feel inferior, whether it’s with subtle comments, arrogant attitudes, or criticism disguised as “good intentions.” These people often project their own insecurities and need to feel superior in order to validate themselves.
But the truth is, no one has the power to make you feel less than if you don’t give it to them. Learning to handle this type of situation not only strengthens your self-esteem, but also teaches you to set limits without losing your calm or dignity.
10 Tips for Handling People Who Think They’re Better Than You
1. Recognize that the problem is not you

People who need to humiliate or belittle others do so from their own lack. Their arrogance is a mask that hides insecurity. Don’t take it personally.
2. Avoid getting into their game

Don’t get into arguments or try to prove to them that you’re worth more. When you respond with serenity and confidence, you take away the power they seek to have over you.
