There is a psychological trick that allows you to achieve the desired result.

How to respond to rudeness correctly

Silence. This is the most correct strategy of behavior in such a situation.

But don't forget about an important nuance: never hide your eyes. Otherwise, you'll look like a loser.

Be sure to "attack" with your gaze. In other words, just look the rude person in the eye.

Silence combined with calmness and confidence guarantees victory over a boor.

A rude person, faced with such behavior from his vis-à-vis, will most likely become confused. He will feel very awkward and will start to behave more politely.

However, the "stare attack" is not always effective. There are situations when it can be harmful. For example, if the opponent is dangerous.

Therefore, always analyze the circumstances before using any psychological trick.
