My sister is rude, how should I react?

[Anonymous]

My sister takes being rude as a "funny" persona. I tried telling her more than once that it's not okay for an adult (23) respectful woman to always be pissing people off because of how she makes rude jokes or straight up telling them to shut up as a joke. Not only me, but other family members and even coworkers have told her that in the past month alone!

When I confront her whenever she's being activity rude and mean to me, she'd always tell me to "stop being crazy" which makes the conversation already unproductive.

She'd then get upset and say: "oh, I just have a bad personality and that's why everyone is always getting mad at me" and make it sound as if I'm telling her that she's a completely bad person.

That's not how I see her, but she's so much and doesn't really care about how her words affect people or how to say things appropriately. Should I just ignore her and bite my tongue or what should I do?

In situations in which your sister behaves in a rude way, she may be useful to address the problem in a constructive and respectful way.

Next, I give you some strategies that you can consider: talk to her: it is important that you talk to your sister about how you feel when she behaves rudely with you.

Try to do it at a time when both are calm and can speak calmly. Be honest with her about how her behavior affects you and expresses your feelings clearly and respectfully.

Set clear limits: If your sister continues to be rude with you after having talked to her, it is important that you establish clear limits.

For example, you could tell you that you will not tolerate to be talked about that way and that you need to respect your feelings.

If necessary, it may be useful to temporarily get away from the situation so that both can be cooled and re-speaking later.

Look for support: If you find it difficult to address the situation on your own, consider seeking the support of a friend, a relative or a mental health professional.

Talking to someone trusted can help you process your feelings and find effective strategies to deal with the situation.

Remember that, regardless of how you decide to address the situation, it is important that you respect yourself and look for fair and respectful treatment in your relationships with others.

No, that’s rude. Telling somebody to shut up and make it as an excuse acting like they are joking. I believe they actually mean that if they keep saying it all the time.
