We form relationships on a everyday basis as we go through life and we
meet people who are different from ourselves and will say things and do
things that makes us feel embarrass about our selves or about something
we do maybe out of ignorance or plain foolish. They do that sometimes because they themselves lack something or have certain inabilities, so to make up for their lack
of it they focus on you and thats their way of indirectly communicating their
shortfall, but you need to learn to handle that kind of negativity not by use of
same method but a more productive one, it is called humor. I learned to look at
the worst things and find the best in it. Not to say it is always easy as there
is something deep within each of us which is called self pride that allows us to
either take the offense negatively or see it in a positive light and not retaliate in
kind. When i give a smile and block insults by laughing hilariously at myself along
with others, i find that nothing throws a person off tract better than
one who laughs in the face of insults. Believe it or not insults for
insults may not always work, at least not for me it doesn't. I have always been a
humorous person and so i may laugh even when there is nothing to laugh at and this makes it harder for others to see me as a target because they know i will never take any thing said
seriously so its wasted insults go find someone else to pick on. All
in all there are the few times i am thrown off tract with flushes that
overwhelms me humor definitely will not work so i use the direct approach
that is draw blank because i either heard nothing you just said or plain and simple
i just don't understand so moving along, there that had no impact what so ever or so it seemed to the insulter.
