Why say something to yourself? Why not say something to them?

Believe it or not, when someone is deliberately mean and inconsiderate, they can't possibly like themselves. Think about it. Everyone at one time or another has been rude or mean to someone, a relative or otherwise. During that time, it's usually because something in their own life has upset them, and they either haven't dealt with it yet, or don't know "how" to deal with it, so they are grouchy or rude or mean to someone "else". I would walk away from this person if that's possible. If you live in the same house with them, tell them to get mean with themselves & leave you out of it! Good luck.

Old way:
sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me
Or try:
That person is lashing out at me because of pain and problems inside them. I am sad they feel such pain.
Or maybe:
I will not deal with that person in the future because it doesn't make me feel good
Or:
They probably don't understand how that impacts me.
Maybe i should tell the person how it makes me feel
Or
Ouch that hurts. I wonder how i could think differently so such things would not hurt me so much
and do yoga. that's the best way to live in the world without being impacted by other people's problems.

Walk away, don't let it affect you. Remind yourself that no one is in control of your emotions but yourself. They're mean and inconsiderate because their own lives are unhapppy and they attempt to drag other people down with them. Don't let it. Don't even respond to them.
If you respond, then you're giving them control, and then you're merely a puppet, letting them control your puppet strings...

the reason people are mean is because they feel really rotten about themselves or they are so stupid they don't even know the rest of the world doesn't revolve around them. so either way when they are being mean to you and you know its wrong then u are way ahead of them already. when u know u are above that then it can be nothing more than a minor annoyance. good luck

Go out and do something to get your mind off of it.
