Dealing With Negative People Effectively

The best way to deal with people like this is to Smile and Agree.

When you smile and agree with them it takes all the wind out of any potential argument or insult they may have had.

The lack of a negative response makes them feel strange as you respond in a way they are unfamiliar with.

Now, depending on the insult or how disrespectful they were you may need to remove them from the premises or remove them from your life, but that does not mean you have to be upset when you do it, as it does nothing for you.

Let them be in their court, playing a game of insults, negativity, and disrespect, and remember that you do not have to join them in that court.

When you smile, agree, and then, in a matter-of-fact tone, tell them to leave you are playing in a completely different league.

Know that most of the people that target you with disrespect and rudeness do so because they think you are an easy target.

They need to put you down to feel better themselves, but have no real quarrel with you personally.

When you smile and agree with whatever they say it will soon get boring for them as they will not get the kick they want out of their rudeness.
