How to deal with one-uppers: People who constantly “one-up” others can be exhausting to deal with. Whether you’re sharing a personal story, a win at work, or something you’re struggling with, they always seem to have a better, bigger, or more dramatic version. In this video, we’ll talk about why people one-up in the first place—what’s really driving the behavior—and more importantly, how to handle people who always try to one-up you without losing your cool or getting pulled into the competition. You’ll learn practical strategies to acknowledge, redirect, or even call it out (kindly!) when needed. Plus, I’ll walk you through ways to protect your energy and stay grounded when dealing with someone who constantly turns the spotlight back on themselves. If you’ve ever left a conversation feeling dismissed, minimized, or just plain drained—this one’s for you.
