Often in the company of acquaintances, in a store, public transport or just on the street, a person can be insulted by another person. Some simply like to assert themselves in this way: they begin to be rude and provoke you to a certain response. To many, your humiliation is a “nourishment”: it is precisely with uncertainty and fear that the so-called energy vampires feed. And the day did not work out for others, the girl quit, they
fired her
from work - so they strive to spoil the mood of someone else.
What to answer to the insult? After all, leave without saying anything - once again give an occasion to impudence to humiliate the weaker.
If you have been offended or insulted, then first of all you need to calm down and “pull yourself together”, as well as calm down the involuntary excitement caused by an unpleasant situation. In no case should you respond with rudeness to rudeness - do not be like a negative character. You need to answer calmly, confidently and with irony, you can even smile. Say something like: “I look, your day has not gone wrong?” Sorry!" Or: “I don’t remember something, so we saw each other before, but I don’t talk with strangers. Bye!" And so on, depending on the situation.
What to respond to the insult from the street bullies who challenged you? In this situation, you need to remain a leader and try to keep your word last. So, for example, to the phrase: “Come on, come here!” - you can stop and say: “Did you want to ask something? I wait, come and ask. " If one of the group comes up and reaches out for an ostensibly greeting, just ignore it. Stand and look at him confidently. Ask: “Do we know each other?” To which the bully will most likely answer: “Don't you remember me?” Your answer: “Should? Are you a local celebrity? It's all? I’ve gone, there’s plenty of work!
Witty answers to insults will put an end to an unpleasant incident, because the offender did not expect such an outcome. You can just laugh and say: “Thank you, they made fun!” If it doesn’t work out as a joke, the boor must directly indicate his place, answering with dignity and calmly. Responses to insults can be as restrained as possible, which does not reduce the effect of them. It’s just that offenders often expect their insulted person to drop to their “bazaar” level, and only then they are masters! Just don’t follow their lead, remain as intelligent as ever. Dialogs that are too long also need not be entered - a laconic answer will save you from further communication with an unpleasant subject.
What is the answer to the insult, or even, rather, a remark, if it was justly addressed to you? You can simply ignore or say: “Thank you for prompting!” Or: “I’ll definitely correct, thank you!” Do this even if you find it difficult to admit that you are wrong.
If you did not immediately orient yourself and find that you could not answer the insult, but simply retreated, then you should not reproach yourself and think over options for what could be said. A person is not a robot, and feelings often prevail over the mind, so do not be discouraged, but just forget. Next time, you probably will not get confused.
