生活中总会遇到的7种讨厌的人

2012-08-02来源:arinanikitina

6. Friends that tell you “I told you so”
跟你说“我早就告诉过你”的朋友

It is one thing to admit that you made a mistake and another to hear it from a person that you actually consider your friend. Friends should be there to support you and cheer you up when you are feeling down, not make themselves feel better at your expense, right?
这是在你犯了一两个错误后,会从一个你真的将其当作朋友的人那里听到。朋友应该是在你身边支持你,当你沮丧的时候鼓励你振作的人,而不是以你为代价而让自己感觉良好,对不对?

What to do about it:
如何应对:

It helps to keep in mind that when people say “I told you so”, they are trying to say, “I hope that you will listen to my advice in future”. Surprisingly enough, it is their way of protecting you from future mistakes (even if this strategy does not make you feel any better). If this is not the help you need – voice it out, without getting defensive. Bring the conversation back to what they can do to help you deal with the situation.
记住这一点会对你有帮助:当人们说“我早就告诉过你”的时候,他们是在试图说,“我希望你今后能听取我的建议”。非常令人惊讶的是,这是他们保护你,避免你日后犯错的一种方式(即便这一策略并没有让你感觉好受)。如果这不是你所需要的帮助,大声说出来,不用有所戒备。回过头来交谈一下他们能帮你做些什么来帮你解决问题。
