How to Respond to Rude People - 5 Powerful Comebacks

[@bonitabonita3431]

1-Be direct about it & tell them to stop 2-I don’t appreciate you talking to me like that. 3-Respond with kindness (Let them air it out) 4-walk away 5-call them out on their behavior "Why do you always have something negative to say?” 5-I appreciate your perspective-gets The negativity out.

Good summary

I just had someone step on my feet and ignored it as if it didn't happen after I said Ow. The only me would have cursed the person out. The new me let it and just know that person will receive their karma. And that karma will be 100% worse than what they did to me.

Thanks for sharing. Sometimes it's not worth responding

Sometimes there are people like me who are absolutely clueless in public, maybe they didn't notice that they were stepping on your feet? I personally wouldn't hold any form of grudge(spiritual in this one) against anyone for such a minor incident, it defies the rule of 'Repaying back in kindness' as this video pointed out.

"Why do you always have something negative to say" is NOT a good response. It turns what someone is doing at that moment into a character flaw, that people might not be willing to accept or recognize. A much better response would be something along the lines of "I know you probably don't mean it, but that feels a bit harsh TO ME". And if it's someone you know, you may follow up with "Can we start over and hash this out as friends?". In short, never respond by turning what's happening into a wide generalization and/or judgment of the person. In other words, recognize the situation, make people feel you expect more, and give them a way out that doesn't make them feel they're the villain. Another example would be "Not sure what I did to make you angry at me, but I'm sorry for that. Can we start over?" or "I can see you're clearly rilled up about this, but can you help me understand why?". In practice, you need to recognize that if someone is acting out at you, there is a reason for it which they believe in, even if it's a misunderstanding. And if it turns out they're just being unreasonable or straight a-holes, you can let them know without making it worse, with something like "It's really hard to see you so mad at me. Can we talk about this later?". Regardless, turning a moment into a wider characterization of who they are, that's just wrong. :)
