If you’ve ever been subtly disrespected, chances are you made one of these mistakes:

How to Control the Frame: The Respect Formula 🔥
The Frame Control Technique is a psychological power move used by secret agents, negotiators, and high-level leaders.
Step 1: Interrupt Their Script ✋
✅ If someone subtly disrespects you, pause—don’t react emotionally.
✅ Break their expected reaction cycle by responding in a way they don’t anticipate.
✅ Example: If someone insults your work, instead of defending yourself, say: “Interesting perspective. What would you have done differently?”

✅ This forces them to acknowledge their behavior without making it a fight.
