Will you ever let someone go free if he insults you? As for me, I think if someone insult us, the best thing to do is to just laugh and get out of the persons' presence, because we might get irritated and it might lead to something else. If you can be able to control you anger, I think it'l help a lot. What do you think?? If someone insults you, will you let him go free??

Take a Deep Breath.As you take that breath, make eye contact. This helps disarm your attacker and turn the tables. And smile if you can — that's even more effective in changing the balance of power. Former stand-up comedian Judy Carter, author of The Comedy Bible, has lots of experience with hecklers. She suggests that before you say a single word, you inhale and exhale — "and no words on the exhale either!" This gives you a critical moment to collect yourself and suppress an angry, defensive response. If you defend yourself, you lose, says Carter, since you've basically agreed to be the victim.Think you should rise above the situation by pretending the insult didn't occur? Bad idea. "That's like saying, 'I won't notice the elephant in the room,'" says Denver psychologist Max Wachtel, Ph.D. "It becomes all you can think about." And as Patricia Farrell, Ph.D., author of How to Be Your Own Therapist, notes, "Silence gives permission." Translation: If somebody at a meeting teases you about your adult braces, and you say nothing, you may soon find other coworkers doing the same.

I will take the insult as nothing. i won't care about what other people said and i won't fight back. becasue it has no point to argue with the person who dosen't have the right attitude. They will think what they do and say are caorrect. So the best way for it is to say 'thank you' to them and then leave away. speechless respond is the best respond to the people who insult us.

I have had people be mean to me and I never say anything back. I just don't see the point. You shouldn't be mean to someone even when they are mean to you. They will get what is coming to them. I have grown up on this saying "God will pay you double for your trouble" which I think is so true. It is not our place to get back at them. You are just as bad as them if you do what they do to you. I think it shows what great of a person that you are if you can forgive these people who are mean to you. You shouldn't go through life keeping that anger inside from things people say. That is only hurting you and nobody else.
