What is loser language?
Loser language is anything that presents your situation in a way that states that it is unsolvable.
Words and phrases like confused, frustrated, struggling, busy, “I don’t have time”, and “I don’t know” are all dead-ends to conversations and change.
Instead of confused, ask questions for clarity.
Instead of reaching the point of frustration, ask for assistance or set expectations clearly.
Instead of struggling, state “Here’s something I am dealing with right now, can you provide me some advice on how to effectively handle it?”
Instead of busy or “I don’t have time”, let people know what you can do.
Instead of “I don’t know” or “I didn’t know”, be sure to follow directions and re-read or ask questions for clarity to learn more.
