Probably, there are few people who have never in their life had to be in the role of an object for ridicule. Moreover, the ridicule was very different: and rather harmless, and frankly vicious, poisonous, on the verge of insult. Tips like: "Never mind, be above that!" are not always appropriate and not everywhere. A thick-skinned, phlegmatic person can really remain silent. Well, a temperamental person with increased sensitivity often suffers from ridicule much more than from physical pain. So how do you proceed?
Instructions
Step 1
The simplest and most effective method - "to fill the face of this bastard" - is not always appropriate and possible. Firstly, civilized people still shouldn't use their fists (except in very extreme cases). Secondly, it is quite possible that your ill-wisher is physically stronger. Finally, thirdly - what if it is a woman? Although we have equality, it is unworthy of a man (and a woman) to beat even an openly shameless individual.
Step 2
Better try to define as accurately as possible: what is guided by the subject, who chose you as the object of his ridicule. What is the goal he pursues or what own complexes and shortcomings he is trying to muffle, "transferring fire" to you. As the saying goes, "to beat the enemy, you need to know his weapon!" Well, and having recognized his weak point, at the first opportunity, repay him with interest!
Step 3
For example, if you are mocked out of jealousy (alas, this is not an uncommon situation), there is little that can “beat” the scoffer as well as a well-defined dose of condescending pity.
Step 4
The envious person comes out with bile because you successfully promote your projects, went for a promotion, and he is hopelessly stuck in his modest position? As soon as he again tries to "win back" on you, express your sympathy loudly: “In Russia, they have always pitied the poor, it is not for me to break this good tradition. Maybe I can help you with something? Do not be shy, I am not an arrogant person, I will listen, maybe I will put in a word for you."
Step 5
Does your creative talent arouse furious envy in someone who himself is not able to rhyme a couple of lines, or even to compose a simple anecdote? "Seal" it with a murderous epigram!
Step 6
You were chosen as an object of ridicule by a grumpy elderly neighbor, one of those who "even pick at a telegraph pole"? Every now and then he washes all your bones, at the same time starting his eternal record: "But old age was respected before, not like now!" - and with strangers? Tell her politely: “It looks like you, grandmother, didn’t respect old people before. So God punished you, making you such a bore in old age!"
Step 7
Hit your enemies with their own weapons! Believe me, they will quickly fall behind.
