Unfortunately, sooner or later every person encounters a boor in his life.
Many people get lost in this situation.
But there are several interesting psychological techniques that allow you to emerge victorious in a verbal confrontation with a rude person.
The main thing is not to insult your counterpart in response.
"Bombard" with questions
Are you being insulted or humiliated? Ask questions immediately!
“Why do you think I’m untalented?”, “Can you give me some specific examples?”, “Do you treat everyone like this?”, “What can you tell me about your successes?”, “And you think these are serious achievements?”
Questions will definitely force your interlocutor to justify their statements.
Of course, the person can continue to insult you further. But then his accusations will look unfounded. Sooner or later he will give in under the "avalanche" of questions.
Agree
Agree with the accusations of your vis-à-vis. But do it in a humorous or even absurd manner.
Say something like this: "You're right. I really don't earn much. I have nothing to eat, I walk around in rags. How can I compare to you, a rich man?"
The psychological trick is good because the defender does not justify himself, but at the same time begins to look better in the argument and puts the opponent in an awkward position.
"Continue"
Listen calmly to the rudeness directed at you. As soon as the interlocutor finishes speaking, say something like this: “Go on. What else do you have to say?”
As a result of such an "attack", rude people usually get confused. And not in vain, because they find themselves in a hopeless situation: to remain silent is stupid, to continue insulting is also stupid.
