How do you respond to being threatened?

I don’t take it seriously. All the people who were actually a threat to me didn’t announce it first. That’s a trait of people who think intimidation works to get them things they want.

Not a good idea to threaten me. I used to go too far in retaliation, unless it is someone I had love in my heart for.

I try to be compassionate now, but I don't recommend poking the bear 🐻

You dont. You block them.

depends on the threat...if i feel my health and well being is in imminent danger then i make sure i throw haymakers first....if i feel like the person is high or mentally disturbed then i take the "really dude?" approach....they usually back off.

Depends... by whom & about what?

It's not a good idea to poke the bear.

Depends on the severity. If it's just something said in anger, I ignore it. I don't mess with drama.

If it's a real threat, I squash it. I don't play. And I don't waste time arguing. I'll just handle things legally and get it over with. Life is too short to live in fear or be taken advantage of.

Stand your ground

On here, I didn't, I remained silent, held my cards. Little did she know I already knew far more about them than they knew.

You stand up fight or back down and run

Not a good idea

It depends by who.

Either have my husband protect them while I make them beg for mercy, or law enforcement

depends,,,, if it’s in person it’s very different from the internet

I think @Colonelmustardseed nailed it .

"Hollow bells ring the loudest" .
It's the ones that dont say anything that you need to watch.

It depends. I have been afraid. It depends on the dynamic

Typically, I don't give a shit.
