1. Understand their psychology. The reason why such friends frequently belittle you is often because of certain psychological needs, such as inferiority complex, which needs to be recognized. Learn to understand and sympathize, and don't be swayed by their words.
2. Be confident and don't have to compare. When a friend compares or says something that makes you uncomfortable, there is no need to keep confidence or talk back to him. Choose to ignore, change the subject, or politely disagree. Avoid self-doubt caused by its influence.
3. Express sincere feelings. At an appropriate time, you can express your words to your friends and make you feel hurt. I hope they can observe the decrease. Express your feelings in "I" sentences, and don't blame each other. Sincere communication helps to enhance friendship.
4. Limit the contact frequency. If your friends hurt you repeatedly and have no intention of changing, and you express sincere feelings, then limiting the frequency of contact with them is a necessary self-protection measure. You have a lot of contacts and friends, but choose people who are good for you to make friends.
5. Improve self-worth. No matter who you are around, the most important thing is to improve your sense of self-worth. Don't care too much about other people's comments, but learn to seek affirmation from your own heart. Cultivating hobbies and interests, the sense of accomplishment comes from many aspects, not only relying on interpersonal relationships. This will make the comparison or blow weaker.
6. Choose friends who support you. In addition to limiting contact with harmful friends, you should also choose friends who support and encourage you to have in-depth contacts. Positive and beneficial interpersonal network is more conducive to mental health and upward development. Find your own world in the crowd.
These are my suggestions to deal with those friends who often belittle you. The key is to maintain self-confidence, strengthen yourself and choose the right interpersonal relationship. You don't have to associate with it too deeply, and you don't have to care too much about its evaluation. Believe in yourself and behave yourself, and you will be comfortable.
