Brush-offs are dismissive responses that are given to someone when they are trying to engage in conversation or communicate with another person. Some antonyms for brush-offs include attentiveness, responsiveness, and openness. These words describe individuals who are willing to actively listen to another person, engage in conversation, and offer validation and empathy. When someone is receptive to others, they are showing they value the person and are willing to engage in a meaningful way. By avoiding brush-offs and practicing attentiveness, we can build stronger connections and foster better relationships with those around us.
