I have learned to be a good listener. a person of few words, and a master of relatively neutral one liners that inspire deeper thinking. Over the years I have been the "casual target" of condescending remarks and demeaning, dismissive discounts of my expert or astute comments about operational issues and current events. My reaction is to look very openly and directly at the commenter and pleasantly maintain eye contact for as long as it takes to create a shift in their demeanor. Once, a female colleague disturbed about my lack of reaction, was compelled to say, "Are you aware he just insulted you?!" I looked at her incredulously and said, " I AM!' And returned to silently observing him as a human being. He was so rocked by the focused attention that he muttered something that sounded like closure and wandered off to another group. He was never disrespectful again in future business meetings, to me or anyone else.

I also hate conflict, and am often embarrassed how obvious that is to those who dish it out. I've found it easier to be quick witted if I can predict who will create it. No matter how friendly they are, when you meet somebody who is loud, highly confident, and says aloud most of what they think, tell yourself "This person will insult me one day." It may not happen, but if you expect it, you'll remain calm and quick-witted when it does. Quiet people can also be rude, but I find them less intimidating, so I limit mental prep to the loud ones.

[@elizabeth184]

I don't like giving a green light to insults. Laughing & making a joke just invites them to insult you again in the future and call it 'banter'. I much prefer the boundary method; make it clear that I won't tolerate certain behaviours now or in the future. I don't really care about how I come across doing that, because trying to be 'likeable' all of the time despite being insulted... well that's called people pleasing and it's not great.

[@cobra7282]

The intent of that topic wasn’t to just laugh when someone insults you, but to train yourself to always see the insult in a positive and playful way so that you can just laugh at it and not be offended by it. Obviously this has a limit to just how insulting something can be, but if it’s a fairly tame thing that can be seen as playful than it makes a lot of sense.

[@lapidations]

It's much better for you if you frame it as a joke to you and all the people around, not only you show you're strong and not easily affected, but you make everyone else in the room have more fun. Also, you let the offender off the hook, but the underlying message is "I'll let this one slip, but I could make you pay for it if I wanted. I won't be intimidated by you."

[@lapidations]

I do this a lot. And the curious thing is that if you frame it as a joke even to yourself, you'll barely remember it happened. Just like a conventional joke, it makes you laugh but you'll end up forgetting it in a few hours.

My father used to insult me multiple times a day, my sister, and my mother included and called it “playing.” He was bullying and when it hurt too much I cried because I was emotionally distraught as a kid to hear these things from the “powerful figure” of the family. He would say I was too sensitive and couldn’t “play.” Now, since we’ve all checked him for his inappropriate reactions, he tries using power plays that are harmful to other aspects of our lives. AKA threatening to cut us off the family for something or something financial benefiting our future. I walked away this year. I told my mother I will not be insulted after all the work I did internally growing up just to be experiencing his toxicity again because she decides to stay with him. She understands, but thinks I need to be patient with him because he had childhood trauma. 1-He’s not working on healing that. And 2-he is still passing it down to his family.

Heck sometimes they even say it plain and out loud that they want to hurt you. My problem with this videos is that the only advice when the other person is trying to genuinely be malicious is to walk away, but you do that in a small community that values strength and fighting and you are going to end up alone very fast. Very quickly you will run out of people that you have walked out on and can no longer see.

Insult's comeback with an insult is a great tool for stopping people from insulting you again. It's likely that the first time you get insulted for something new, you won't have a comeback... but if someone insulted you once, they'll do it again and in a similar way. So you can prepare for the next chance and attack their insecurity through an insulting joke. For example, there was this one japanese lady who twice tried to insult me based on skin color by saying, "hey! u are black even not from africa" (I'm from srilanka). The first time, I was taken aback but explained that ancestry, equatorial country, etc.. but of course she didn't get it. The next time she said, "hey... why u so black?". (I was preparing for this moment LoL) I simply said, "the same reason why your eyes are so small." Everybody burst our laughing. Should have seen the look on her face. She stopped insulting me.

Indeed, I agree that, with people who insult you, often the best approach is to return the same rudeness (great example, btw). I used to be easy to insult, because I hated conflict and couldn't fathom that some people would seek it out. One day, after I had thrown up in my middle school's hallway because my mother had insisted on sending me to school ill, an obese boy bullied me over it. I realized he was doing it because he figured I was too nice to point out the obvious, so I decided if he could hit low, so could I. I said, "I did it because I never want to wind up as fat as you." While it didn't quite have the clever zing that your comeback did, this boy did realize he had better leave me alone after that.

One thing that really works for me when someone cracks a joke at my expense is to first put on this exaggerated, defensive response, acting pathetic, whining (only works if it's really obviously exaggerated). After that, you laugh it off in mockery. It's actually kind of letting out your own insecurity and immaturity, giving it a voice, and then laughing it off as silliness. It helps you join the others in laughing and shows you have a sense of humor. It's great.

[@HermannTheGreat]

Remember, most people have insulted others knowingly or unknowingly by accident at one time or another in life, it's those who make this a way of life who have a toxic personality and should be interacted with at arms length with caution. Every person has value and is made in the image of God, those who use insults as a regular part of communication may also be sociopathic, narcissistic, anti-social personality, etc. And insults covered with humor are still insults.

The calm look of "lol what?"? Is an important one, like that seen at 4:20. There are many variations of that face you can try. The vital thing is not letting your face drop or react when the insult drops and just calmly shift to the face and hold it unwaveringly

[@kristalgic1534]

Perfect timing on this video! Yesterday I was insulted by a customer at work for no reason and I just pretended not to hear it but I wished I had said something to let them know they can't just get away with disrespecting people.

[@robertdesantis6205]

It wouldn't have mattered. Some folks are just clueless.

[@flygrace]

"Did you mean to be so rude?" is a good call-out and gives them a chance to backtrack.

[@starrymoonlight]

I have a question. Someone insulted me and I didn't react but my friend defended me. That person insulted me again a few minutes later. This time I suddenly turned to her, raised my voice a bit and said in a really assertive tone "Ok calm down". How was my response?

[@janetg.]

The best line I ever heard for an insult is, "excuse me, can you. repeat that?" Most people will not repeat the insult. I knew someone who would close their eyes during an insult. I would say, "can you open your eyes, I didn't hear you." That's shuts down everything.

Thanks for this, I watched the Australian Senate one with my mother and she was cheering the woman on, and I said it was sad because the men were clearly in the wrong and are in fact bullying her, so it sucked that she got sucked in by her anger at the situation and coming off worse for it.

@@bryanwoods3373 mansplaining in itself is rude. The word literally means men try to tell women about things women know much more about. Like dudes in parliament deciding over female bodies, mansplaining women how to menstruate or ovulate. It's LITERALLY the rudest thing ever.

[@bryanwoods3373]

@Xia-hu About as rude as using it as a cudgel to not have to listen to other opinions, including those of other women, because you've deemed yourself the arbiter of the issue by virtue of identity alone. Women mansplain all the time. It's just semantics to ascribe connotation to the same behavior.

Needed this. I usually deal with social anxiety and I went to this social event and discussed about a career goal I would love to pursue. I said as a joke I would love to pursue wrestling and this girl called me skinny out of the blue. Didn’t know how to react but felt very hurt by it. I guess next time I should react very differently. Practice makes perfect and im sure if I get myself in a similar situation I will be able to handle it with dignity and self respect.

[@gainsbourg66]

I am a therapist and have helped clients with assertiveness, confidence and verbal self defence for over 25 years. Always try to smile or chuckle in reponse to ridicule or a put down, however unexpected it is. Reply something like - 'Charming!' or 'Any more charming compliments?' If s/he repeats the insults try: 'What ARE you talking about?' For a bigger put down try - ' Oh please...shut up?' or 'Ah shut up!' or 'Rubbish! ' or 'What absolute rubbish!' or 'Hey stop that - behave yourself!' (as if talking to a child). If someone takes the Mickey I always smile and mock them back saying 'that's just pathetic' or 'that's childish' and if they or other laugh at you, keep smiling and say 'what ARE you talking about' or if the attack is worse say: 'little things please little minds' in a SING SONG way, and maybe repeat it if any more comments are made at your expense. As a last resort say - 'Have you always been a moron?' If it becomes a jokey name calling exchange make sure you have 4 or 5 ready memorised. (D^ck head/ar*e hole/moron/douchebag/sh^t face/b*tch/slimebag).Name calling in a jokey, high pitched, silly voice softens their rudeness if necessary. If you over do it apologise in a jokey way: 'Hey/oops, sorry that sounded bad'. If in a group setting you are targeted by the same person again, say 'Oh not you again douchebag' or 'ah shut up douchebag' (or whatever name you called them before). If they attempt to bully you repeatedly at a social occasion call them by the name whenever you adress them, e.g. say 'Goodbye douchebag' when parting. If necessary say 'sorry I did not mean to offend you'

[@Dawn737]

I spent much of my life trying to figure out how to increase my confidence. When I finally discovered the answer, it turned out to be much easier than I had expected. People hate how this sounds when I write it out, but the actual secret is simply to lose respect for everyone else. Let that pedestal you have everyone on drop, so that you finally accept that your opinions are smarter than theirs (in some cases, by quite a lot!). Trust me - this is how confident people naturally think, and when you've lost respect for everyone else, they will treat you better, because you clearly think highly of your own intellect, so they will assume you are suddenly smarter than you were when you gave their opinions too much respect.

Love that the video gets better as it goes on. Teaches us comebacks then goes into being the smart/bigger person in a conversation

[@Becoming0ne]

I have found just calling out the behaviour when someone is rude works well. “Wow, that was rude”. It usually makes the rude person do a double take and then they feel like they’re on the back foot and they know not to take you on. Especially if you are generally a nice person and you call out their rude behaviour, because they don’t expect it from you.

[@socksmccox1025]

Sometimes I just say, "well that wasn't very nice." I don't really want to insult people back or one up them. I have enough self respect to not be bothered when others disrespect me. If it's a friendly roast or attempt at a roast, I'll play along though. May or may not hit em with a comeback.

[@3b_qp]

I started to make sure that 90% of the interviews are acting, they look perfect, and they always know what they say to sound funny and charismatic, and most of them are actors, so this supports my saying

[@3b_qp]

And they always get the reaction they expect, which doesn't always happen in real life

[@3b_qp]

And I do not like the idea of ​​the channel by making all people with the same personality. Everyone should be charismatic in their own way, and they should not be aware of this artificial idealism. Charisma should not be in the abundance of friendships, but in the strength of the relationships, sometimes it is okay to have enemies.

[@TheS4ndm4n]

A lot of this boils down to pevious tips you gave, like "lower your filter": if you liked an insult (at least a little bit), laugh. If you don't like it, ignore or draw a boundary, stay calm. Also there is something which some article on executive job interviews called "walking power", which essentially means, when in a difficult situation you got into voluntarily, rremind yourself that you can just walk away from it if you want to. That can also help you with the first one I mentioned.

[@Gothlite-i1l]

According to OED, the verb (of a man: to explain something needlessly, overbearingly, or condescendingly, especially to a woman, in a manner thought to reveal a patronizing or chauvinistic attitude) and the concept it describes now have a firm foothold in the language.

[@stephencarlsbad]

Partly true. However, the problem with these comebacks is that they don't take into account someone's baseline trait neuroticism. Some people are so hyper-stimulated by negative stimuli aka insults that they have no way of processing the negative stimuli/insult in a timely manner that would then allow for a relevant and timely response that would then work in their favor. Insults are too overwhelming for people with these trait settings to overcome naturally. This includes those with mood regulation disorders, ADHD, Autism, Asperger's, anxiety, bipolar disorder and depression. This represents about 21% of the population according to various studies.

[@liptoncunningham6666]

This is very true. In some cases, role playing these scenarios with people you trust helps. It's essentially exposure therapy. Also discussing strategies and having some canned phrases like the one about meeting yourself. It's important to have at least one person in your life who will help you through these kinds of things, like a trusting partner, a close friend, or a therapist.

[@stephencarlsbad]

@@liptoncunningham6666 Role playing can help, unfortunately, the support system for something like this is most often short-lived except for very limited circumstances. This type of approach necessitates a lifetime commitment to the afflicted, and we often see support systems burn out from this level of commitment, unfortunately. Medication is often the best long term solution.
