Anyone can face comments literally several times a day.

If you don’t learn how to react correctly to the complaints and “instructions” of others, you can ruin your mood, fray your nerves and get involved in a conflict situation.

This happens because not everyone knows how to respond to comments correctly.

Which reaction is considered correct?

If the remark is true

There are cases when a remark from the outside is really fair and timely. You should not react emotionally and "attack" the person in response: this will only show a low level of culture.

You need to immediately take your opponent's side and agree with his arguments. This will help smooth out an unpleasant situation in just one minute, experts believe.

But you shouldn't do this, because it's a waste of time. The best solution is to completely ignore your opponent.
