Most people aren't used to anyone confronting them, no matter how gently. Good luck with using some of the other strategies.

Here's how it went: I said hello to a beautiful dancer who I did not know Her response was " Do I know YOU?" At which time she turned her back to me and walked away. I found it comical but my dancers were shocked. I had to defuse the hateful un-encounter for them to avoid spoiling their evening. After all, they'd traveled, dressed up and had high hopes for the evening. Being who I am, I refuse to let someone spoil my fun time There was nothing to do but smooth it over with my troupe and move on. The moral of this is; If someone does peepee in the corn flakes, flush it, wash the bowl, and have a bagel instead.

I've tried, in the past to move some conversations in another direction, conversations that were unkind and hurtful about a person I'd never even met yet by the "asking questions" tactic, and ended up having the conversation turned against me, but I felt it was better to have mean things said about me to my face rather than mean things about another being said behind their back. If it ever comes up again, I'll be happy to try some of these others!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00784459015765755125noreply@blogger.com
