What do u say to somebody when the say something mean

Question

i run out of things to say

Answer 1

The less you say and the more you ignore them the more angry they will get cause they'll realize that it didnt phase you. Although sometimes it is hard to ignore or say nothing in return to what they said it works. Just remember two wrongs dont make a right. But sometimes it does feel good to say something back, its sometimes a waste of your breathe.

Answer 2

go find other things to do.

Answer 3

I am a very sarcastic person, so I usually can come up with a killer comeback pretty quickly. But it really doesn't benefit anything. So it's better to just be like whatever ya know, just blow them off, don't worry about it.

Answer 4

Sometimes I have wit and sometimes I don't. It always leads to a big f u when you run out of wit. =/

Answer 5

Mee Too I Run Out Of Things I Hate Mean People Probally Best To Ignore Them!!

Answer 6

I am curious why anyone would say mean things to you. Generally I find people are pretty nice to me.

It reminds me of a story:

A man had two friends who had each moved from one village to another a few miles away.

He said to the first 'How do you like the people in your new village?' The guy replied, 'They are all unpleasant and rude to me' This was exactly what he had said about the village he had left.

He said to the second man 'How do you like the people in your new village?' The second friend replied 'They are all very nice and friendly' This is what he had said about his old village.

So you see, sometimes you get what you give.

I would not try to be rude back. I imagine that you are still at school. You will find that adults are much less inclined to blurt out rudeness. Most adults have learned that it doesn't get them what they want out of life.

Answer 7

I just look or glare at them and walk away. Occasionally I will comment on what they have said. I'm shy so it would have to be EXTREMELY offending or about my man, my family or his family.

Answer 8

Put them on the spot, ask them "why would you say something like that" or " does it make you feel good to gbe mean"

Answer 9

My mom has the best ones, 1. she stays really calm and looks them in the eye and acts surprised.  She says "have I done something to offend you?"  That's for like sales people, etc that are rude.  2.  for people who say stupid things like "you have really big b***s", etc.  (like you don't know) she says "Well, I might have big b***s (or I might be fat) but I can change that.  You will always have that personality."

Answer 10

Nothing, there is no point in fighting with them when it isn't going to benifit you in any way.

Answer 11

Haha *laugh*, you must have really low self esteem to diss someone. Tah Tah! *wave* *walk away*

It works a lot to get them angry ^.^

Answer 12

Start with; "Excuse me, I don't believe I heard you correctly?"  Most people are not brave enough to say the same mean thing twice.  If that doesn't work, just walk away and move on.

Answer 13

if somebody calls you a bad name then say:

s***w off before you become one

any other time say:

when you have something intelligent to say then we'll tlk. too bad ur one of the stupidest people i know so i guess this is goodbye

Answer 17

Nothing at all. Why bother speaking to a rude person? Rather than engage, meet their comment with silence - it's a clear message without getting pulled down to their level.

Answer 18

I like this question. When someone is mean to me I  study what form of meanness it is; condescending, sarcasm, curtness, and tell them what they were being like it's all cool. Different forms of meanness are cool. I am a know-it-all today

Answer 19

I like Ron Whites approach. "Yeah well F YOU!

Answer 20

say "wow, now that was intelligent" in your most sarcastic voice

Answer 21

you don't have to. less confrontation. better.

Answer 22

If it is one of my 11-12 year old students, I bring up the Golden Rule and remind them of the importance of it.  If they say something really mean, I'll have them call their parents and tell them.

Answer 23

Generally, walk away.  However, you could say, as walking away "how boring".

I don't have time for mean people.

Answer 24

talk **** back say stfu u ****** *** *****  or start talkin **** about his mom and his orientation and stuff it works for me he ppl i talk **** to gets owned so bad

Answer 25

it depends on what they say, but the usual thing to do is comment on their immaturity.  i dont know how to explain it, but if they insult you, you just ask something about how sad they must be that they have to insult someone else to feel better, and before they can respond with some witty c**p, you walk away.

Answer 26

i usually say, "ok, that's your opinion. you're d**n opinion! i pity you."

Answer 27

ignoring it is the best. Its hard to do, but that just proves that youre the better person.  

Answer 28

I try to just ignore them and go on with my day. If someone is saying mean things to you, then they are the ones with the issues and they dont deserve your time and energy.

Answer 29

Just say, WOW that is SUPER mature of you. And then walk away. They are the ones that will be left feeling foolish.  

Answer 30

Seriously, I just say, "Thank you very much" with a smile on my face. That really takes people aback.

Answer 31

Thanks so much! :)
