Seems like I have been hearing this phrase very frequently as of late, and have taken to using it myself. I’m not sure that is a good thing… so I’m Just Saying…..
SERIOUSLY NOW:::: “Defending Against ‘I’m Just Saying’ and Other Verbal Annoyances”
Empowering comebacks to: “I’m just saying:”
- “I know – and I’m ‘just responding’ to what feels like an insult.”
- “I know – but the fact that you are ‘just saying’ something offensive doesn’t make it less offensive.”
- “I know – and what you’re ‘just saying’ is offensive Hey, I’m just saying.”
- “I know – and I’m not sure you recognize that what you’re ‘just saying’ comes across as critical, hurts my feelings, is insulting, etc.”
- “I’ve thought this through and I’m comfortable with what I’m doing. I’m not seeking input on this.”
- “Thanks for your input, I’ll take it under advisement.”
- “Thanks for your input. I’ll let you know if I need any additional opinions on this.”
Have a great day.. and Thanks for stopping by….

I don't think I can remember anyone who likes to say "I'm just saying" to me or else I will remember to use one of your comeback lines on them the next time they say "I'm just saying" to me.
