How should one react to one's relatives making taunts?

Answer 1

Never react!!! Always act sensible!!
Here everyone has a freedom to express their views.
Just avoid them. If they make taunts, let them do!! If u'll react u will create problems for urself only. When u will show no emotions towards them, they will stop doing so. Got it

Answer 2

I have experienced a similar situation. I know it can be a sensitive issue, but I feel that sometimes with family, you just have to let things slide. Especially in our Indian culture and if the relative is older, you have to show them a certain level of respect. Try not to take their taunts to heart. Try to turn the situation into something positive and funny, but if their taunts are really affecting you, then I don't see any harm in calmly telling them how it makes you feel. Just try to be a bigger person, and don't sink to their level and give them rude answers. Best of luck! :)

Answer 3

If you can, ignore them. I have one or two relatives that make baited remarks & I just ignore them. It proves that I'm the more mature of the two of us. If you can't ignore them, be diplomatic about it. Don't get into a nasty shouting match because one of your relatives is immature & rude. Again, you'll appear more mature because you refuse to stoop to their level. Just try to avoid this person or persons as much as possible & let other relatives know that you are avoiding this person(s) & why so you can avoid further conflict.

The best possible thing is to try to understand why they are taunting you. Are you living in a lifestyle they don't approve of? Are they jealous of something that you have or did? Is there an underlying cause that you are unaware of? Is this a case of retaliation because of something that your parents did? Talking it out is often the best way to go, especially if you can have a non-biased 3rd party mediate. If you can't, then just try to avoid them.

Answer 4

If you can, try to ignore and act as though you not heard at all. The person is bound to get fed up and appreciating your maturity, will move away. If you find it difficult to ignore the remarks, try to pay teh other person in thier own coin. You give few taunts, without being abusive. Last, tell tehm on the face, you don't like these things. They have to respect your feelings.

Answer 5

i may be so indignant that i understand indisputably i might kill them, i'm basically professional-capital punishment if the guy is definitely to blame and that i've got self belief they took a existence they do no longer deserve theirs.
