backhanded compliments: was that a compliment or an insult? feat Drusilla Mollel
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever received a compliment that didn’t feel quite right? The kind that leaves you questioning yourself! was that really something nice, or was there a little bit of shade in there?
Well, today, we’re diving headfirst into the world of backhanded compliments famously known as the sneaky little jabs disguised as kindness. I’m joined by my best friend, Drusilla Mollel, and together, we’re unpacking the world of shade, subliminal roasts, and those so-called “nice” words that somehow feel like a kick in the stomach. Why do people do this? How do you clap back? And most importantly how do you not let it get to you?
If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation feeling weirdly unsure about a compliment, this one’s for you. Hit play, and let’s talk about it!
