how should I react

Start looking at yourself different. Start caring about yourself more, get more self esteem from YOU! When you feel strong, you gain more respect from others. When you see someone else getting screamed at, you probably help them??? Now you have to learn to stick up for yourself. When people scream at me, I usually just walk away. But then I know I will feel bad later because I did not say anything. It is best to try and reason with the person. Ask them why they need to scream? Do they think they will get bigger that way? hahaha! The best thing to do, is don't care. Think by yourself:"They are just stupid and don't now any better." I hope this helps.

Hey there, I never have been a fan of just sitting there and letting someone isult or berate me. I don't know what your situation is, but if you can just stand up and walk out when this happens you might feel a litte better about everything than if you just take the abuse or engage the abusive person. YOu are right, screaming doesn't work, in fact people who are combative like what you are talking about get some kind of sick enjoyment from making you upset. Just walk away. Go get your tennis shoes on and go for a walk or a run. Draining your physical energy will help you to think about your situation with more clarity. getting your heart rate up increases oxygen to the brain, and endorphins from exercise will help you to combat the depression that results from being hurt by people. This is what I did when I was going through similar things. Eventually you might see that you don't have to take anybody's b.s. ONe day you might just go for a walk and never look back. YOu'll end up in a better place, with better people.

If it's possible, just pretend you don't hear anything and walk away. If you have an ipod or something, you could put the headphones in (or just carry headphones that aren't attached to anything and put those in your ear) when you walk away. If you can't walk away, then learn to look bored. This may make the person yell louder, but it's okay because that means you're doing it right. It takes some practice because your natural reaction to being yelled at is to look upset. But once you get good at it, it is actually fun. Once my friend was yelling at me and I just looked bored, so he hit the wall next to me. I kept looking bored and I actually think I rolled my eyes, and he got upset because he couldn't scare me. I know it's hard to feel okay when people are yelling at you, but just remember that if they're yelling at you then they're bullies, and you don't have to listen to anything a bully says. They just can't find anything good about themselves, so rather than build themselves up they tear other people down because that's easier. By not reacting, you're making it harder for them to tear people down.
