How to respond to someone who is insulting you 

Ashley .Nicole you’re so right. Plus I’m not good at comebacks and feel dumb afterwards. But how do you empower yourself to not feel guilt for not answering back

yea thanks.

You start laughing at first. Most of the time those people won't really understand why you're laughing, and at some point that misunderstanding will make them stop laughing. The best way to deal with them is to give them a straight look in the eye, and to fixate your eyes on the guy/girl who said the insult and as said in the video, ask them for the point of their statement. Most of the time I find myself in a situation like this, I ask them to elaborate it. When they ask you what do you mean, you can always say something like "You've just said an opinion of yours, which doesn't make it a fact". They may try to sound smart and say "Well, it is a fact, you're that and that", and in that moment you respond with something like "A fact needs arguments to make it valid, you didn't state any argument, you've just stated your opinion, which doesn't make it valid at all". After that, if you've left them speechless, if you're for example sitting with them in a bar, you can always stand up and leave the place. They might call you names as you leave, but that shouldn't touch you, because in that situation, you outsmarted them, and the only way they can think of getting back on their feet is to continue throwing insults at you, but you should know that it's because of their weakness. :) All in all, you shouldn't be paranoid of these situations, but you should always be prepared for a quick response if it happens. Don't let it come to you, think of an smart answer for their insult and you'll be great.

@@lovelyjubblu by watching some videos, i discovered a shorter way instead of arguing with them that what they said is an opinion not a fact, just say “i can accept your faulty perception of me” or “your perceptions are your perceptions”

Lol yes

j lo yes that's because you felt so embarrassed you couldn't focus on giving a good response and they know this about you. When we're Caught off guard it's hard to think.. Next time just tel her to shut up and stop being so rude in front of many people. I guarantee other Members will be glad you told her her this. I'd often get my revenge on these people when they're alone and no Audience to inflate Them.. If anybody loves to pull you up on stuff with a room full of people, then usually they don't operate alone very well. Next time Just say I'll get back to about this in private... Nows not the time BIG MOUTH. And write down all your answers to the hurtful remarks I guarantee they won't make a habit of doing this again. Knowing full well you'll get them alone and nag them to death about being an Oxygen thief 👌 Good Luck sweet girl.. Greeting from London

Paula's life; OMG! thank you. I read your comment about 20 times.

j lo your your welcome any time. The cold shoulder works also even for many years.. Silence is golden also to hell with how awkward Others may feel.. You didn't start this. Get a hobby new friends build your confidence also it will show. Your to good for This don't forget who you are, you are somebody important and great... Never forget this. We all hate a bully

I do that too.

I do that too.I laugh and I'm even nicer to them.Also if you see this person again don't give them eye contact. act like they don't exist and they will never bother you again.

Or they laugh and change the topic which actually can lead to a decent convo. We’ve literally reached the point of general passive aggressiveness as a society, like everyone either talks overly nice to everyone or rude to everyone publicly. Also, with how aggressive we are regarding character on a societal level, light teasing between friends are welcome. -the opinion no one asked for 🤗

I hope it turned out Okay for you :)

I hope you are out of this situation now

My thoughts exactly!

Yassir's channel That means that he made you believe you are a coward. Do you fall into his trap? :)

chamha rouch damn snap

Inconsiderate people want a reaction that why it's best to ignore them. Or smirk or roll your eyes. Or say excuse me lets keep it polite and mature. It's best to keep it polite and respectable and mind our own business . To avoid inconsiderate people. People are inconsiderate because they are not thinking about people's feelings. And they are less respectful and sympathetic and more self focused. And act like it's all about them. It's best not to take them seriously that's what they want. Think whatever who cares it's their behaviour and it's their problem not mine. We will be less stressed if we care less.

Oh, that is brilliant. You are correct. This soft tap back works beautifully in tennis. Thanks very much for this advice. I think I’ll be using it very soon. ❤

Ocinematique Glad I could help! And thanks, here's hoping both of us get batter at it! :)

Allen Miller me too

I know this comment is 7 months old, but I feel compelled to answer cz You're responding exactly how I did towards a rude person. I wasted my time thinking why instead of "WHY NOT?" because people have different value systems. They're probably intimidated by you, your youth/beauty and have some level of contempt because their family member/brother likes you a lot. They care so much to put you DOWN because deep down in their minds you're in this elevated pedestal. You need to understand that people don't care about those who they think of as non threatening. It's those who trigger their insecurities that bother them... you are triggering their insecurities for some reason...but that's not your fault,but you need to speak up loudly and firmly that you're NOT going to put up with insults or ill treatment and NOTHING they say is going to bring you down.

But that could also backfire and they could assume that you're not good enough to think of a comeback.

Everybody has their own life to live and we can't make everybody happy because we are not God

Report to HR or get him fired somehow

That doesn't work on my bro cuz that would just make him think I'm a jerk that doesn't give a crap.

Yeah I'll just keep going on and on because it irritates 99 percent of people

Wait are you being scarsatic orrr?

Southern people are idiots. The African Americans are extremely self hating and the whites are passive aggressive. Both are deathly dangerous. Don’t engage with them! WALK AWAY or CALL Police!!!
