Kill em' with kindness. Agree with them sarcastically. Unless they something that truly pisses me off. That's a different story. As bad as voilence may be , cracking a motherfucker across the jaw is one of life's simple pleasures. I like that mace idea. When i was younger , me and my boy sused to talk about running through downtown charleston or some other public place and mace people at random.
Kill them. really it is best to just kill the hell out of anybody that bums you out. Life is short no need for letting people that insult you live. Peace
Backhanded sarcasm: use crass. Gratuitous insult: use humor. Physical violence if your boundaries are being violated.
act like you dont care. you really shouldnt anyway. if somebody insults me, honestly i couldnt give less of a shit either way. But if it gets out of hand after you have already attempted numerous amounts of times to get across the fact that they are wasting their time... a crucifixion might be a good call at that point.
First off, you have to gauge the nature of the insult: friendly banter...the best way to combat that is to have a clever response ready. One that doesn't get too serious and if its a friend or colleague, one that you can both laugh at. You alway s wanna be careful though. If you show that it just rolls of your back, you win. If you show emotion, it gives them more ammo. If its an enemy, same thing you wanna have a clever response ready, but this time, you don't have to worry about being mean. Again don't show emotion. But you do want to throw something his way of equal impact...or worse. If you don't want to push it to fisticuffs or you're with a group or someone you want to impress (like a date) maintain your cool. If your friends have your back, laugh it off, say something smart that doesn't insult him, but shows him that A. you're not scared, and B. you can't afford to waste anymore time on him. Perfect example: a guy cuts me off and I honk at him. He gets pissed and starts trying to get me to pull over to fight. Hes a gangster wannabe in a minivan. I say something along the line "nice minivan, soccer mom"...something like that. At a stop light, we're parallel and he still threatening, I laugh at him and that really pisses him off...as long as I showed disdain towards him, I don't show fear (even though admittingly, I was frightened he would have a weapon or something) and I make him look like a fool.
Just tell them to fuck themselves. Then after a few more insults are exchanged, tell them that they are a paranoid schitzophrenic with agressive tendencies, and they should get help.
Point out every flaw in what they are saying, I don't know if all people can do this but for me I can respond to insults very easily because I usually quickly find something wrong with what they are saying and make them sound like a complete dumbass. Just turn the situation upside down, and make fun of them, in a more intelligent manner.
