OUCH buttons we often have

1. People push buttons, your buttons. And there are those who have no idea that they have just
pushed your button. We will assume they mean well. They think they are being encouraging but
to you it’s anything but. If you are brave, forgive them and tactfully enlighten them. Pushing
buttons often refers to conditioning that triggers strong emotion.
Here are some ouch buttons that may leave you feeling devalued and not too happy:
Challenged
to say, show, or pick apart (something) as not true, correct, legal, possible, etc. Constant
questioning makes you feel like what you do, think, say is questionable.
Critiqued
a detailed analysis and assessment of something or someone.
Eye-rolled
the action of rolling one's eyes, typically as an expression of exasperation, disbelief, or
disapproval.
Ignored
refuse to take notice of or acknowledge; disregard intentionally. One of the common reasons for
depression and anxiety. Causes you to feel like you don’t matter.
Micro-managed
to control every part, however small, of. Makes you feel untrustworthy.
One-upped
your experience has been minimized or disregarded as minor compared to someone else’s.
Suggests rivalry.
Patronized
to be patronized is to be treated as if you are less intelligent or knowledgeable than the person
you’re speaking with, and it can be one of the most frustrating experiences you can have in life.
Talked Over
when you are speaking and someone interrupts and talks over you (talks while you talk), it can
make you feel a variety of emotions. You may feel angry and frustrated, or you may feel small
and overlooked. Being ignored isn’t a pleasant experience and is often received as a sign of
rejection.
