One phrase that often makes me disregard everything the person just said is “to be honest.” It can imply that everything else they’ve said may not be truthful or genuine, which makes me question their integrity and the validity of their arguments. It feels like a signal that they might not be confident in their previous statements or that they are attempting to manipulate the narrative.
