"Talk into my good ear", "I hate people who mumble", and "Say that again into my shell-like ear" again and again are good, too.

I am a senior executive woman who works in a male-dominated profession. I have learned to be a good listener. a person of few words, and a master of relatively neutral one liners that inspire deeper thinking. Over the years I have been the "casual target" of condescending remarks and demeaning, dismissive discounts of my expert or astute comments about operational issues and current events. My reaction is to look very openly and directly at the commenter and pleasantly maintain eye contact for as long as it takes to create a shift in their demeanor. Once, a female colleague disturbed about my lack of reaction, was compelled to say, "Are you aware he just insulted you?!" I looked at her incredulously and said, " I AM!' And returned to silently observing him as a human being. He was so rocked by the focused attention that he muttered something that sounded like closure and wandered off to another group. He was never disrespectful again in future business meetings, to me or anyone else.

I also hate conflict, and am often embarrassed how obvious that is to those who dish it out. I've found it easier to be quick witted if I can predict who will create it. No matter how friendly they are, when you meet somebody who is loud, highly confident, and says aloud most of what they think, tell yourself "This person will insult me one day." It may not happen, but if you expect it, you'll remain calm and quick-witted when it does. Quiet people can also be rude, but I find them less intimidating, so I limit mental prep to the loud ones.

The best one I’ve ever heard of in an informal setting was “Is that the best you’ve got?” The person trying to insult the new acquaintance actually laughed out loud in surprise and everyone else was then able to relax.

Dad wasn’t very helpful in my “finding my self” period of my life… but I find your channel extremely helpful. Thank you for being who you are

I don't like giving a green light to insults. Laughing & making a joke just invites them to insult you again in the future and call it 'banter'. I much prefer the boundary method; make it clear that I won't tolerate certain behaviours now or in the future. I don't really care about how I come across doing that, because trying to be 'likeable' all of the time despite being insulted... well that's called people pleasing and it's not great.

The intent of that topic wasn’t to just laugh when someone insults you, but to train yourself to always see the insult in a positive and playful way so that you can just laugh at it and not be offended by it.

Love or hate Ben Shapiro, but "That was mildly inappropriate" is a legendary response to a physical threat.

My father used to insult me multiple times a day, my sister, and my mother included and called it “playing.” He was bullying and when it hurt too much I cried because I was emotionally distraught as a kid to hear these things from the “powerful figure” of the family. He would say I was too sensitive and couldn’t “play.” Now, since we’ve all checked him for his inappropriate reactions, he tries using power plays that are harmful to other aspects of our lives. AKA threatening to cut us off the family for something or something financial benefiting our future. I walked away this year. I told my mother I will not be insulted after all the work I did internally growing up just to be experiencing his toxicity again because she decides to stay with him. She understands, but thinks I need to be patient with him because he had childhood trauma. 1-He’s not working on healing that. And 2-he is still passing it down to his family. This is why I have friends as my chosen family.

These videos are so great. Even if youre not shy or awkward in social situations, some of these tips could be used by anyone. The key is indeed to be self confident and a bit unbothered sometimes, some people just tease and insult you to get a reaction or to get you to say something inappropriate that could be taken out of context in the heat of the month

Responses to rude remarks is, 1. “It’s so nice to be acknowledged by my peers.” 2. “I defer to your experience (or expertise).” 3. “Would you repeat that louder?” 4. “Are you having a bad day? Do you need to talk to someone?”

Nice one! So far this is my favorite out of all the "How to Make a Rude Person Immediately Regret Insulting You" type series since it combines all the elements seen in each of them including hard and soft lines. One aspect I was hoping to see in any of these style type of videos, is to ask clarifying questions such as, "What do you mean?" in response to back handed compliments that would give the antagonist a chance to save face, but also let them know that you know they're up to something. Useful if you're in a professional setting such as work.

Hang out with people with whom you disagree. It forces you to learn how to set aside differences and learn to take criticism. Great video.

I love the variety of options that you have available so you can be flexible depending on the situation and context.

What I really miss a lot from these kinds of videos, is the fact that although all of these work well in professional or cordial settings. There are a lot of bullying-like situations when this doesn't work. I come from a small remote village in the country side, and when someone roasts you, a lot of the time they are not trying to play a joke, they are genuinely trying to hurt you. Heck sometimes they even say it plain and out loud that they want to hurt you. My problem with this videos is that the only advice when the other person is trying to genuinely be malicious is to walk away, but you do that in a small community that values strength and fighting and you are going to end up alone very fast. Very quickly you will run out of people that you have walked out on and can no longer see.

The most basic thing about charisma is being confident but that one of those things thats easier said than done. If you want to be the kind of person thats great at talking to folks you gotta work hard not only on your rhetoric but also on the topics you speak on

Im Conclusion: 1. Aikido Insult. Accept it and use it against them 2. Point out they are easy to dislike "e.g. if you could ever meet yourself you would hate it" 3. Trojan Horse Compliment These three are likely to make enemies 4. Compliment the insult 5. Assume positive intent 6. Agree and exaggerate 7. Be nom reactive 8. Call out their behavior (not the person) 9. Just walk Away 10. Draw a boundary and walk away if it gets crossed

I just ignore people when they insult me. I don't acknowledge it happened and it steals the satisfaction they thought they'd get from the insult while saving me the bother of processing it.

Insult's comeback with an insult is a great tool for stopping people from insulting you again. It's likely that the first time you get insulted for something new, you won't have a comeback... but if someone insulted you once, they'll do it again and in a similar way. So you can prepare for the next chance and attack their insecurity through an insulting joke. For example, there was this one japanese lady who twice tried to insult me based on skin color by saying, "hey! u are black even not from africa" (I'm from srilanka). The first time, I was taken aback but explained that ancestry, equatorial country, etc.. but of course she didn't get it. The next time she said, "hey... why u so black?". (I was preparing for this moment LoL) I simply said, "the same reason why your eyes are so small." Everybody burst our laughing. Should have seen the look on her face. She stopped insulting me.

Indeed, I agree that, with people who insult you, often the best approach is to return the same rudeness (great example, btw). I used to be easy to insult, because I hated conflict and couldn't fathom that some people would seek it out. One day, after I had thrown up in my middle school's hallway because my mother had insisted on sending me to school ill, an obese boy bullied me over it. I realized he was doing it because he figured I was too nice to point out the obvious, so I decided if he could hit low, so could I. I said, "I did it because I never want to wind up as fat as you." While it didn't quite have the clever zing that your comeback did, this boy did realize he had better leave me alone after that.

Remember, most people have insulted others knowingly or unknowingly by accident at one time or another in life, it's those who make this a way of life who have a toxic personality and should be interacted with at arms length with caution. Every person has value and is made in the image of God, those who use insults as a regular part of communication may also be sociopathic, narcissistic, anti-social personality, etc. And insults covered with humor are still insults. Those who use them regularly rather than rarely aren't true friends.

Proverbs 26:18,19

The irony lies in the fact that with friends, most of the time, one doesn't need all of these things; a simple glass of wine 🍷 suffices. However, with enemies, or more precisely, with mischievous individuals, one requires all those measures. This is because we live in a sophisticated society where resorting to violence 🔪 simply isn't an option for dealing with those who mock us.

"It helps to have a strong foundation in self-confidence...." if only I knew this in high school 😂

The most outrageous thing i heard in the video: "Liu Kang from Street Fighter"!

I really appreciate these videos, they might even give me confidence one day to meet new people. Laughter is interesting strategy. I use a saying for myself, 'it only hurts when I laugh'

I have confidence whenever uncomfortable words need to be spoken. But when it causes flareing responses and angry looks. I need to learn how to finesse the situation to have them actually listen and discuss.

as a side note, we are now 4 years deep into an unlawful arrest and imprisonment of Julian Assange...

Theo has the best comebacks 😂

Thanks for this, I watched the Australian Senate one with my mother and she was cheering the woman on, and I said it was sad because the men were clearly in the wrong and are in fact bullying her, so it sucked that she got sucked in by her anger at the situation and coming off worse for it.

@@bryanwoods3373 mansplaining in itself is rude. The word literally means men try to tell women about things women know much more about. Like dudes in parliament deciding over female bodies, mansplaining women how to menstruate or ovulate. It's LITERALLY the rudest thing ever.

@Xia-hu About as rude as using it as a cudgel to not have to listen to other opinions, including those of other women, because you've deemed yourself the arbiter of the issue by virtue of identity alone. Women mansplain all the time. It's just semantics to ascribe connotation to the same behavior.

great advice!

You guys are so good

Needed this. I usually deal with social anxiety and I went to this social event and discussed about a career goal I would love to pursue. I said as a joke I would love to pursue wrestling and this girl called me skinny out of the blue. Didn’t know how to react but felt very hurt by it. I guess next time I should react very differently. Practice makes perfect and im sure if I get myself in a similar situation I will be able to handle it with dignity and self respect.

I am a therapist and have helped clients with assertiveness, confidence and verbal self defence for over 25 years. Always try to smile or chuckle in reponse to ridicule or a put down, however unexpected it is. Reply something like - 'Charming!' or 'Any more charming compliments?' If s/he repeats the insults try: 'What ARE you talking about?' For a bigger put down try - ' Oh please...shut up?' or 'Ah shut up!' or 'Rubbish! ' or 'What absolute rubbish!' or 'Hey stop that - behave yourself!' (as if talking to a child). If someone takes the Mickey I always smile and mock them back saying 'that's just pathetic' or 'that's childish' and if they or other laugh at you, keep smiling and say 'what ARE you talking about' or if the attack is worse say: 'little things please little minds' in a SING SONG way, and maybe repeat it if any more comments are made at your expense. As a last resort say - 'Have you always been a moron?' If it becomes a jokey name calling exchange make sure you have 4 or 5 ready memorised. (D^ck head/ar*e hole/moron/douchebag/sh^t face/b*tch/slimebag).Name calling in a jokey, high pitched, silly voice softens their rudeness if necessary. If you over do it apologise in a jokey way: 'Hey/oops, sorry that sounded bad'. If in a group setting you are targeted by the same person again, say 'Oh not you again douchebag' or 'ah shut up douchebag' (or whatever name you called them before). If they attempt to bully you repeatedly at a social occasion call them by the name whenever you adress them, e.g. say 'Goodbye douchebag' when parting. If necessary say 'sorry I did not mean to offend you'

I spent much of my life trying to figure out how to increase my confidence. When I finally discovered the answer, it turned out to be much easier than I had expected. People hate how this sounds when I write it out, but the actual secret is simply to lose respect for everyone else. Let that pedestal you have everyone on drop, so that you finally accept that your opinions are smarter than theirs (in some cases, by quite a lot!). Trust me - this is how confident people naturally think, and when you've lost respect for everyone else, they will treat you better, because you clearly think highly of your own intellect, so they will assume you are suddenly smarter than you were when you gave their opinions too much respect.

@@Dawn737Nope. But you do you.

Sometimes I just say, "well that wasn't very nice." I don't really want to insult people back or one up them. I have enough self respect to not be bothered when others disrespect me. If it's a friendly roast or attempt at a roast, I'll play along though. May or may not hit em with a comeback.

Calling out the sexism is not the sexism. The sexism is the sexism.

"Compliment the insult" I dont think I can do that without coming across as way too sarcastic 😂

Mean/jealous women often say things like aww (head tilt) you look tired. I just say so do you 🤷‍♀️ they hate it

3:08 Yeah, Liu Kang was from Mortal Kombat. Make an insult from that.

A lot of this boils down to pevious tips you gave, like "lower your filter": if you liked an insult (at least a little bit), laugh. If you don't like it, ignore or draw a boundary, stay calm. Also there is something which some article on executive job interviews called "walking power", which essentially means, when in a difficult situation you got into voluntarily, rremind yourself that you can just walk away from it if you want to. That can also help you with the first one I mentioned.

This is gold

3:07 the roast is acceptable... but "liu kang from street fighter" has no forgiveness.

the best insults are the ones you come up with days later after having already lost the verbal battle of wits lol.

I used Number 6 a couple of weeks ago without even thinking. Then as I reflected upon it I was:"This is some Charisma on Command level stuff" 😁

The example of 05:08 is exactly the other way around of how you presented it.
