Ar**** Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago I was recently given a piece of advice/tip from a (self-identifying) brat that you should never tell a brat that they are right. I have my own strong beliefs about this matter, which I'll keep to myself for now as I don't want to bias the comments. I thought it would make an excellent discussion point though - should you or should you not tell a brat when they are in the right? What are the merits and pitfalls? Why? D-types, is acknowledging when a brat is correct always a no-go for you? Bratting s-types, does being told you are right undermine the perceived strength of your partner or potential?
ED**** Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Saying you are right this time, however in that same sentence “that will not always be the case isn’t that right my darling” ! Is only a suggestion, not an opinion for discussion, as none of us are always perfect in reality.
CopperKnob Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Initial thoughts. No one is a brat 100% of the time. It would be exhausting. I'd also perceive it as belittling to always be in the "wrong," a lack of respect for my personhood. From a non brat Also, thank you (!) for a sensible OP
je**** Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago Typically I see a brat being bratty as someone who really wants attention. I have no problem with that, and playing off of that energy can help with the discipline/reward piece.
Go**** Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago For me personally, I’m a human being first, being a brat is secondary, so not telling me I’m right when I know I’m unequivocally correct would be at the very least, frustrating, and at worst, undermine the connection of the person doing the disagreeing. I feel that disagreeing with someone because they’re a specific role, in this case a brat, every time, is both undermining their confidence and misguided.
