Recognize your thoughts.
So why do you feel that way?
End generalizations.
Remember this distinction.
And finally, speak up and set an example.
You don't have to be aggressive the next time you experience shaming - but if you feel comfortable go ahead and direct the conversation in a different direction or offer some wisdom on why it's wrong.
The first step to making a change is changing yourself and then leading by example. Trust me - people will notice and you will make a difference.
Here's a good start - share this post.
Thanks, everyone.
