Has someone ever attempted to humiliate you in public? Making you the butt of his or her insensitive jokes? So how did you react? If you're new to this experience, here are some tips on how you can handle the situation:
Ignore the joke. Bullies are notorious for picking on people they think they can push around. These people are usually insecure and short on attention. To get it, they make fun of other people. The trick is to ignore these idiots. By not giving them the attention they crave, they start losing interest in you and move on to the next victim.
Joke back. If you're one of those rare individuals born with sharp wit, why not use it to your benefit? Give the bully a dose of their own medicine.
Witty comebacks can be amusing especially when it is the supposed 'underdog' delivering it. It also has the effect of making the bully think twice about dishing another round of attacks because they might end up becoming the joke when you deliver, yet again, a stylish comeback he or she cannot compete with.
Accept it. If you are supremely confident you can actually just laugh it off. Confident people can actually laugh at themselves without being embarrassed.
Look behind the joke. Perhaps there is a reason your attacker is making fun of you. You hurt their feelings in the past. Is it possible? Were you their bully a few weeks ago? Months? Years? Try to recall it and you might be surprised by the memories you recall, If you did hurt them in anyway, it's best to resolve it by talking in private. Let bygones be bygones and move on.
One way or another, defending yourself from jokes is a social skill you will have to master eventually. It's better to know how to handle a situation before it comes than be caught off guard when you the spotlight is finally turned on you, right?
