So when some one is yelling at you or talking down to you do you fight back or hold your tongue?

I used to back down, cry, etc. I've found out it really is not that hard to stand up for yourself and they don't generally get more aggressive which was always my fear. They typically back down at that point, so these days you can bet I'm going to stand up to them.

I have always loved the idea of it, but generally find I don't pull it off well. My true emotions show on my face.

The other way to deal with it then is simply get up and walk away,if they yell and say they haven't finished talking to you?,YOU just turn and ,Ohhh that's sad,because I've finished listening to you .

It all comes down to who you are inside and why this person is yelling and screaming at you,ME???,I'm nobody's door mat and people don't talk to me in that manner,not unless they're prepared to get back what they put in .My now deceased Mother in Law found that out the hard way

You have to learn to stand up for yourself,otherwise you become their punching bag whenever they feel like it.

Who is this person anyway???

yeah, depends on the situation. People don't typically do that to me anyway, as I tend to be easy to get along with, but when they have it seems it has been in situations where walking away was not necessarily plausible.

That does not typically happen to me. It depends on the person I am dealing with and my mood. Usually, if that does happen, I giggle and do not even mean to.

Sometimes I just let them go on and act a fool but sometimes, my glove comes off and it shuts them up pretty fast.

Is it nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms and by opposing end them?

Coping with difficult people by Robert Bramson is an easy and fun read that addresses your question. Google ‘Dealing with difficult people’ and you will find may articles.

yes, The ruder they get the politer you get. This not only pisses them off but it shows them the correct way to behave.

The next quistion is why do rude people behave that way?
