“If you have a problem with something, explain it rationally, calmly, articulately, and with patience so that other people will understand and take you seriously.”
[does so]
“Hmm. If you actually felt strongly about this, you wouldn’t be so soft-spoken, composed, and emotionally detached. You don’t look the least bit upset! Someone truly in distrsss would be screaming right now.”
[screams and cries]
“Oof, wow, melodramatic much? You’re clearly acting out because you want attention. Use your words next time if you want people to believe you.”
the trick is to calmly explain while being backed up by a Greek chorus standing behind you howling and wailing
A cello heavy orchestra can also work if you haven’t a Greek chorus on hand.
