WHAT do you do when people put you down?

Question

HOW do u handle it?

Answer 1

One thing I will do sometimes is outdo them on putting me down. They say "you look stupid" and I will say, "I am so stupid that I..." then insert some putdown on myself.
This sometimes will leave them almost speechless, and they won't know how to react.
Sometimes I will say "thank you, I didn't have low enough self-esteem but you have sure helped me out there!"
Of course when you are really skillful at putting yourself down, as the late Rodney Dangerfield was, you can also turn that on them. I have been known to have a razor sharp wit and slam the person back so bad that they are hurt or just walk away.
I know the mature thing to do is ignore them, but I have never claimed to be the most mature person around.

Answer 2

easyy:
i will be angry and show that so i will put them down but this time in front of all the people so i believe in REVENGE and make them feel sorry about it.and like i will show them later how happy i am and how miserable they are and they will be if they tried to hurt me.
and NEVER NEVER NEVER shut up when people abuse u or even tried to be like smart a$$ because if u let them once they will do it till ever.if they don't respect u, u have to teach them how to respect u.if they are evil with u so BE WORST.
good luck and show them that u have a self confidence and u are not week but only STRONG.

Answer 3

Of course, there's the first sting when someone puts you down. But then I feel sorry for them for being so miserable that they have to put down another to make themselves feel good. In a nutshell, I just feel pity for them. You know how well misery loves company.

Answer 4

People that put other people down are just insecure about themselves. But I find when I am put down it gives me a boost to better myself...but just because I'm pissed off!

Answer 5

What to do when pple put you down,
1) Stand on your ground
2) Develop Resistance
3) Be creative and careful enough to prove to them why it was essential for them to put you down, because out of it, your integrity has advanced and
4) you are ready for anything, not necessarily for pleasant things , rose flowers has thorns too.
NB. dont forget this pple might be your folks or loved ones and they deserve respect & love, be at ease.

Answer 6

I return the gesture and put them down too. Pretend like it hasn't effected me, then go home and wallow in self pitty for a while.

Answer 10

No matter what people try and tell you DON'T " Just ignore it...."
A punk that you just ignore will NEVER go away.

You must stand up to him-her-them and assert yourself....
