Sometimes the day doesn't work out anyway, and rudeness at work, in the store, in transport spoils the mood completely. You can remain silent, not answer, endure. But patience tends to end, and how to respond to rudeness?
Ignore or not?
The easiest option is to pretend that you have not noticed anything, and as soon as possible to put someone's hurtful words out of your head, to maintain peace of mind. But it is far from always possible not to get upset because of trifles, as well as to silently escape from some quarrelsome person. On the other hand, it is necessary to defend your interests and protect your self-esteem. How to respond to rudeness correctly? There are several ways.
Exposure
Rudeness is not only obvious, but also hidden. For example, a work colleague may criticize your professional achievements only because of personal dislike. In this case, you should expose the critic by explaining the situation. The ill-wisher will most likely be afraid that he was convicted of bias, and next time he will think before opening his mouth.
Shock
How to respond to rudeness in transport, on the street or in a store? Stop the flow of abuse pouring on your head, you can somehowsome strange question that will confuse the interlocutor. It takes a long time to come up with some objections, and boors usually do not perceive anything constructive, so the question can be completely absurd, for example: “How fast will a hippopotamus fly to Mars?”. Ham will have to think for a long time what you meant.
Humor
Often you are rude by people with whom you really would not like to quarrel, for example, the boss who got up on the wrong foot, or a close person who has some kind of trouble, and his discontent goes to you. A joke helps to defuse the situation and even cheer up the interlocutor. It is also very pleasant to cut off some quarrelsome grandmother at the entrance. But, alas, witty responses to rudeness often come to mind even when the situation itself is in the past.
Questions
Not only decent answers to rudeness are possible, but questions too. For example, on the bus you accidentally pushed someone and apologized, but the person is still indignant: “Are you blind? Are you completely crazy?" You may ask: "Do you think I'm blind and stupid?". The answer is likely to be positive: “Of course! You pushed me!" It would be appropriate to ask: "Do you think that I pushed you on purpose?". By translating attacks into questions, you allow the interlocutor to understand the situation: he is hurt, and his first reaction is aggression, but this is not a reason to be rude in response to an apology.
Nerdy
Such questions can be broughtto outright tediousness, in which any rudeness will get bogged down. For example, the boss may declare all the work you have done as hack work. How to respond to rudeness in such a situation? Start meticulously asking: what exactly is wrong, where did he find the mistake, at what point, in this or in that, and what needs to be corrected, where and how exactly? Next time the boss will only come to you with constructive criticism.
