Video Summary - How To Respond To Rude People (Omori Style?!) Animated by Evelvaii

Key wellness strategies & self-care / productivity tips

Break the cycle of rudeness with empathy
- When a stranger/customer is snarky, choose empathy and don’t take it personally.
- Reframe it as possible projection (e.g., “maybe they’re having a bad day”).
- Aim to let it go so negative behavior doesn’t affect your emotions.
Quick emotional regulation in the moment
- Count to ten and take a few deep breaths when you’re provoked.
- Ask yourself: “Is it worth losing my cool?”
- Treat getting angry as wasted emotional energy, and choose not to let it “get under your skin.”
Preserve your emotional energy (boundaries with yourself)
- Decide not to let rude situations “take up room” in your life.
- Keep calm and grounded even if others act badly around you.
Use courage + boundaries when disrespect is unfair
- Trust your gut instinct and intellect.
- Choose between responses:
  - Roll it off / ignore disrespect if appropriate
  - or stand up and be assertive if the behavior is harmful or unfair
- Know when to speak up and when to walk away from the conflict.
Self-advocacy and accountability for productivity
- If you’re doing the “gritty work” (research, slides, edits) and others take credit:
  - Document/claim your contributions clearly.
  - Speak directly to authority when needed (e.g., your professor).
- Focus on facts: what you did, when others didn’t contribute, and how credit was misassigned.
