“Condescending behaviors can be a defense mechanism used by individuals who have insecurities, are afraid to show vulnerability, or want to assert superiority (due to underlying feelings of inferiority),” Gabriela shared. “Individuals with condescending behaviors might use this as a method to draw attention away from their own insecurities or gain a sense of control in social interactions.”

“This will remind you to stay calm to avoid escalating the situation. It is very important to stay calm so that you can respond logically rather than react based on your emotion,” Gabriela continued. “You can then ignore the person so that you can detach from the situation, acknowledge the advice (without fully agreeing, which can defuse tension), express your feelings politely, or redirect the conversation.”

“It is important to always remind yourself that it is not about you, and if you can try to have some empathy for these individuals, it can help redirect your own thoughts and prevent you from feeling any less than others,” the counselor says.
