@

@hurrstardlikemustard3 years ago Sometimes introverts just doesnt want to talk to people thats not interesting to them, why should one ' turn on a switch' when its unnecessary to why try to impress people who insult you and get the validation when they made you the opposite of what they insulted you about (case on introverts) if you want respect out of impressing other people with your social skills then go ahead and do that, but theres more to it than adjusting to theseyou take asin order to still command respect from people without having to deal with people insulting you.
it happens, but agreeing and amplifying doesnt do anything besides divert the attention to something else assuming that it makes you look better whenever you reply forcibly sarcastic. I agree with not taking everything personally and not getting defensive about it, but the fact that ' when people insult you, you divert' is the solution given in the video - thats one way to see more people pleasers without considering whats really relevant to themselves and be out there adjusting to people insulting you to change. Next thing you know is the only way for you to change is for people to insult you. Take critiques, but dont let people have a hand in insulting you just because its ' to be expected' or if thats how they testand dominate the hierarchy.
aisnt as fun as forcibly amplifying an insult just to reciprocate, but when its clear that youre not there to be insulted nor does their insult have any gravity towards you then theres no need for the humorous theatrics of amplifying it back just to seem cool / fun and get respect points from others. ...Expand 13

@vedantdeshmukh22203 years ago As per my personal observation - the people who are easily offended, who lash others out are generally respected more than those who keep cool, might be because they are perceived as more powerful and masculine. 10
@

@rainpooper70883 years ago Agree and amplify can backfire hard if youre dealing with a narcissist or any other toxic cluster b type personality. They too use insults as a test, b bottom line: if somebody tries to turn those test insults into a running gag to get you to continually agree with them about how much you suck until you believe it or paint you as overly sensitive if you disagree for once, run and run far. ...Expand 4

@

@cal54013 years ago I think the best way to deal with insults is trying something new. Going out, losing/gaining weight, getting different hair, interactong with different considering my example, sometimes im just sensitive to something. I can' tjust gree and amplify because i can' t go on with it.
example the one where you are called skinny. Well it hurts me sometimes.
so my thing to do is smile and nod, and say, " well that wasn' t nice of you- that hurt" be honest to the other person and if they are not a total jerk, they' ll totally apologize. If they continue being sick and tiring, you can always reduce your contact with them and show that you despise their company without actually being offensive- like walking away when they show up, or ignoring them.
most insults- even if they are critiques, you gotta let em go. Things that don' t hurt you, agree and amplify is the best. Way.
you can explore your style the way you want, because i do, many times interact with people and get insulted because im a beginner in many tasks they excel at.
sometimes you should insult back with a smile, because lets be honest, who doesn' t enjoy that humiliated look on a bully' s face? Sometimes you can be nice and try to calm the fire with some water. Depends greatly on the person you are with.
the only rules that never quiet change are, don' t. Get. Mad.
nope.
that is the biggest give away that you have lost your composure and thats the time we are most likely to do the most stupid errors. Don' t let it get to you.
stay cool as a cucumber and know that, in the end of the day, the person before you is just another human with their own faults and skills, and their words shouldn' t even matter much.

Often, i have found reacting to someone' s insult with humor is the best response.
