13 Subtle Behaviors That Instantly Kill Your Credibility—Are You Guilty of These Condescending Moves?
Finding yourself in this situation is annoying, because the other person has, for whatever reason, assumed that you don’t possess the same knowledge, and sometimes emotional intelligence, they do. Chances are they haven’t actually weighed the likelihood that you do or don’t know what they’re explaining-they just know that they know it, and that’s enough reason for them to expound. This behavior is often referred to as ” mansplaining,” but the occasional woman is guilty of it too. The important thing to remember is that respectful two-way conversations involve reading cues from the other person. If you’re not certain they’re following what you’re talking about, you can always ask, “Are you familiar?” But most of the time, it’s safer to give them the benefit of the doubt.
