The other day I was having a interesting conversation with an acquaintance, but it soon turned out to be surprising and unpleasant. The other person blurted out an unwelcome comment, in a tactful manner by pin pointing a personal issue within conversation.What did I do? I immediately gave her an answer back within conversation as well. It was subtle unlike my husband who would stop her dead in her tracks without sugar coating. What I think is wrong with his tactic? Not much, only that I would prefer it for someone who can't keep their mouth shut all time. Sometimes people speak without thinking, so I like to give them benefit of doubt. What do we have in common? Even though we have different tactics, we both make an effort to defend ourselves. I'm sure some are wondering what ever happened with turning other cheek theory? Is just not that healthy, when ever someone tries to make you feel inferior by making sarcastic remarks, name calling, joking at your expense, disregarding your opinion etc. it is verbal abuse, and believe it or not it can affect your self esteem a great deal. Next time someone intents to maliciously tear down your confidence, in a firm voice say/do one of followings *stop taking out your problems on me, *ask person to repeat comment *again this usually gets bullies to back down, *ask if he is having some problems, *and my all time favorite ridiculing their opinion and laughing at them *say what I do is none of your own business *do leave if you perceive any physical danger *don't hang or stay around people with abusive personalities
