Offensive words and insults can suddenly ruin our mood, but they should not be left unanswered.
If you choose the right words, the impudent will never again allow himself to attack you.
Joke
Laughing at the situation will help reduce toxicity and continue the conversation without raising tones. The plus is that the audience will definitely take your side.For example, a coworker said your presentation was of insufficient quality. You can answer: next time I will not ask for help from my five-year-old son.
Analysis
Do not show that the words offended you, turn on the information analysis mode and force the opponent to argue his point of view. The fact is that it is impossible to constructively criticize and insult at the same time.
Your task is to include the abuser in the conversation according to your rules in order to achieve the main thing.
Ignoring
Nothing offends impudent people more than completely ignoring their presence.This is especially infuriating in virtual space, but at work, if you are in the same room, it will work great. Make it clear to your enemy that he is an insignificant person for you, his opinion does not mean anything, you do not even want to pay attention to his words. You have much more important and interesting things to do.

- 4 dishes all kids hate.
- 5 star families, where children are a copy of their parents.
