People can insult each other for various reasons, such as a bad mood, failures in the family and at work, improper upbringing, etc. You should respond to offensive words beautifully, without sinking to the level of the offender.
It is very unpleasant if they insult and make derogatory statements about you. Why is this happening? Because of this, some people like to humiliate others. This happens for various reasons:
- difficult childhood;
- difficult life situation;
- low self-esteem;
- features of upbringing in the family.
If a person is happy and contented with life, then there is no need for him to insult and humiliate another. It is difficult to say what to do in this or that case, you need to act on the basis of the emerging situation. Follow the most common methods are the following:
- pretend not to hear
When we complained about someone as a child, we were told "don't pay attention." I must say this method works in adulthood as well. If possible, pretend that you have not heard the insults of another person, and try to contact him less.
- use your sense of humor
Almost any offensive attack can be parried with humor. For example, "What hairy hands you have!", "Yes, I'm not cold in winter!"
- answer a question with a question
Ask the interlocutor in response to stupid questions, for example, "So what?", "Where?", "Why?", "Why?" This technique allows you to nullify all the attempts of the offender to humiliate you.
Only get into conflict as a last resort. Try to use other ways to parry insults.
