Someone insults you, better to not reply?

Hi! I think if someone offend us it would be better not to enter into any argument which could precipitate the matter. It would be wiser to keep quite and ignore the pinching comments. I do like-wise when I land in any such situation.

Hi katie: It depends on the situation. If I can just let it go that's what I would do but if I feel I can't I will make a response to this insult. It might be an intelligent answer that makes this person feels like Ouch. That's the magic of sarcasm ALVARO

If someone insults you, it's best to laugh at them. This way, it makes you feel better and you don't have to get mad; plus, it really seems to be the best method at getting back at them. They are expecting you to lash out at them, but they are not expecting you to laugh. I think it makes them feel a bit dumb.

I think that people who feel the need to insult other people are obviously very insecure with themselves, and this can mean that they don't have enough confidence to say nice things to people without feeling threatened by it. Whenever somebody saying something nasty to me, I will ignore it, and will forget about it. However, if they carry on saying horrible things and it gets nastier than I can deal with, then I will usually take them to one side and ask why they feel the need to carry on the way they are doing with me, because it just isn't fair.

I think that it is just really better just to let it go. There are just going to be many times where when people insult you, they are looking to rather start something. And when they do start it, it is going to not end well for you. The only person who wins an argument over the insult is the person who started it. Because they have prodded you into an answer, and thus you are just playing right into your hands. People are good at pressing all of the right buttons, that are going to cause you to have a lot of the wrong reactions when you think about it. It is just really best right to just let it go. To turn the other cheek. Life is rather too problematic without worrying about what everyone else is saying. Just got you really go right to the flow and just shake off the harsh words, the insults of people. They are just words after all.

In ideal situations, it is often the recommended action to take the moral and most righteous way in dealing with the problem - walking away and ignoring it. We try to understand that violence doesn’t need to beget violence and we are trying to understand the other party, although we are hurt ourselves. However, we really can’t tell if it will end up in a temporary parting of ways – unless the other party have oterh things in mind. Intense emotions like anger don’t fade away so quickly and there are times and instances when the other party does hold a grudge for you in neutralizing his efforts. Depending on the actions of the other party and your actions, most likely it might end up in physical or verbal attacks. But if there are people other than the two parties, the higher chance of breaking the fight up. If you have the patience and the understanding that the other party lacks, it might be best than to ignore and go away since it will not result in anything good.

if someone insults me i just look at that person's face and don't bother to reply. trading insults would only fire things up, wouldn't solve anything. besides, i tend to look down on people who are insulting....i wouldn't go down that level.

if someone insults me, i am not fighting physically. I might insult them also but i will add a joke on it. I really don't like fights even though it is verbal.
