I recommend "Dressed as a Rich Woman, I Don't Want to Work Hard" to you. This novel tells the story of a strong woman, Su Wanning, suffering from a terminal illness and crossing into the entertainment industry to become a newcomer. In the novel, the heroine found the process of pursuing her dream in the entertainment industry and finally realized her dream. I hope you can find your own way to pursue your dreams and realize them. Good luck! Hurry up and read this book. It's good to read and it's healing.😋
I was honest and said it was a mix of good and bad. Then I explained the specific parts that were either positive or negative.
If you want to handle it more gently, you could say that you don't understand what she means by that and ask her to clarify in a more family - friendly way. Like 'I'm not sure what you're asking for. Can you rephrase it in a different way?' This gives her a chance to correct herself if it was a misunderstanding on her part.
How should I respond when someone tells me that you've successfully caught my attention? You can consider replying to the following: Thank you. I'm glad I caught your attention. You really caught my attention. I'm glad to be able to communicate with you. Thank you for your attention. I really enjoyed communicating with you. You really interest me. I will continue to study and pay attention to your information. I'm glad to be able to communicate with you. We can try more topics.
She simply refused. She said that I should focus more on my studies rather than new dresses.
This is an extremely awkward and inappropriate situation. It goes against the norms of a healthy family relationship. You need to communicate your discomfort clearly. You can say 'Mom, this is not a topic that is suitable for discussion between us. Our conversations should be positive and appropriate. I hope this never comes up again.' If possible, try to distance yourself from such inappropriate conversations in the future and focus on building a more appropriate and healthy relationship.
Politely decline and shift the conversation to something else. For instance, start talking about the latest family gathering or a new recipe you've tried. Say 'Aunt, let's not talk about that. I want to tell you about this great meal I had.'
You could say that it's a very improper term that belongs to the world of adult - only and inappropriate behavior, and quickly change the topic to something more positive and suitable for your relationship like a new movie or a nice place to visit.
You can simply say 'Sure, I liked it!' This is a straightforward and positive response that shows your approval.
Another way to respond is to be proactive. If you sense she needs help but hasn't asked directly, offer your assistance. For instance, if she seems stressed about cooking dinner, you could say 'I'll order some take - out tonight so you can relax, dear.'
You should firmly tell the person that this is inappropriate and you don't want to hear it.
