Sometimes a person has to become the object of someone's jokes, comments, criticism, claims. It is good if all this is expressed in a correct, polite manner. But what if jokes or critical remarks balance on the verge of real sarcasm, that is, they are offensive, caustic, hitting "a sore spot"? You need to adequately respond to sarcasm.
Instructions
Step 1
Even if the sarcasm hurt you or hurt you, try not to show it. After all, your ill-wisher (or just a poorly educated wit) expects just such a reaction from you. And the more vividly you demonstrate that his efforts have achieved the goal, the more diligence he will sting over and over again.
Step 2
Perhaps the best reaction to sarcasm is icy indifference. Your ill-wisher should see that all his efforts are in vain, that you are simply ignoring him. And for such poorly educated subjects, this is tantamount to punishment.
Step 3
A condescending contemptuous pity, measured with pharmacist precision, also helps well. Disgustingly drooping corners of the mouth, slightly raised eyebrow, caustic and polite words: “And that's all you can do? What squalor! For the wit, ready to enjoy your confusion and resentment, this will be a real cold shower.
Step 4
If the offense is too strong, and you want to take revenge, remember the wise rules: "Treat like like" or "Beat the enemy with his own weapon." Anyone who likes to sarcastically mock others, as a rule, is used to being afraid to get involved with him: after all, no one wants to be his "target". The greater the shock he will experience when he himself becomes a common laughing stock. Try to find his weak point and hit him without any regret, making it clear that you intend to do the same in the future. That is, you will not touch anyone first, but also do not forgive the insult.
Step 5
Take a closer look at the ill-wisher, try to understand the motive of his actions. And, based on this, act. If, for example, he is driven by envy of your abilities, achievements, talent - sympathize with him in front of witnesses, offer help with a well-discernible irony in your voice. Believe me, he will bitterly regret that he risked offending you. And in the future he will think a hundred times before choosing you again as a "target" for his sharp tongue.
Step 6
Do not worry, do not be tormented by doubts, but is it possible to do this, in fact, becoming like the offender. Remember that there is a limit to everything, as well as patience. You were not the first to start, but the ill-mannered witches must be put in their place.
