How to respond to sarcasm

Sometimes the person should become an object of someone's jokes, remarks, criticism, claims. It is good if all this expresses in a correct, polite form. And how to be if jokes or critical remarks teeter on the brink of the most true sarcasm, that is they offensive, caustic, beating "a sore point"? It is necessary to respond to sarcasm adequately.

Instruction

1. Even if the sarcasm caused you offense, caused mental anguish, try not to show it. Your ill-wisher (or just badly well-mannered sharp fellow) waits from you for such reaction. And than more brightly you will show that its efforts achieved the objective with what big diligence he will needle again and again.

2. Perhaps, the best reaction to sarcasm – ice indifference. Your ill-wisher has to see that all his efforts are vain that you simply ignore him. And for such badly well-mannered subjects it is equivalent to punishment.

3. Well also indulgent and contemptuous pity measured with a pharmaceutical accuracy helps. Fastidiously lowered mouth corners, slightly raised eyebrow, venomous and polite words: "And all this what you are capable of? What poverty!" For the sharp fellow who was going to enjoy your confusion and offense it will be the most real cold shower.

4. If the offense is too strong, and you want to revenge, remember wise rules: "To treat similar to similar" or "To hammer the enemy his weapon". The one who likes to sneer sarcastically at others, as a rule, got used that are afraid to contact it: nobody wants to be its "target". That he will feel a bigger shock when he itself becomes the general laughing-stock. Try to find its weak point and without any regret strike it, having let know, as in the future intend to arrive also. That is the first you will touch nobody, but also do not forgive offense.

5. If take a closer look at the ill-wisher, then try to understand motive its acts. And, proceeding from it, act. If, for example, moves it envy to your abilities, achievements, talent – sympathize with it at witnesses, offer the help with well distinguishable irony in a voice. Believe, he will bitterly regret that he risked to touch you. And in the future hundred times will think before again electing you by "target" for the sharp tongue.

6. Do not worry, be not tormented with doubts and whether it is possible to act this way, actually assimilating to the offender. Remember that to all there is a limit, to patience - too. Not you began the first, and ill-bred sharp fellows should be put into place.
