A patients family member once said “aren’t you lucky to get such a pretty nurse” and I simply replied “I prefer ‘smart’ “ and I’ve never been more proud of myself.

how do we build the confidence to let the awkwardness sit and not overwhelm us? is this rooted in self esteem? (people pleasing, shame, etc)?

Okay but then I look like the moody person or being insubordinate to my manager who is male and does this often. How can I help in that situation

I do first thing very often. Look at them in the eyes, very confused. They will get uncomfortable, then I move on as if they do not exist. Works!

I’m a lawyer and a LOT of people react to that with “I’m sorry”/“sounds boring” and I’ve started just saying “don’t feel sorry for me”

Sometimes people say that I "look tired" and I usually go along with it to try and not make it awkward but from now on I'm not gonna go with it.

my favourite response is to act like I dont understand, or go "Its wild that youre not embarrassed to say that out loud"

I go full on questioning mode and will question them and try to find the root as to why they made that comment but then I’m “too serious”

Bring direct is what a lot of women struggle with for fear or repercussions so this is super helpful

This doesn’t fit your example exactly but in many situations I love responding with, “Are you ok?”👁️🫦👁️

I really like this because it also gives time to form a response if I do want to respond…at times I feel rushed to say something
