You have to continue interacting with someone who is rude whenever you see them: What do you do?

Generally when someone is rude to me, I confront or avoid them. I can't do either of these things with,this person.

Thoughts/advice?

Thanks!

Be extra sympathetic to them. There’s something seriously wrong with them, after all.

@Mindful Thank you for sharing it. It’s hard to see the person behind the attitude sometimes. I remember being told once that “hurting people hurt people.” It’s hard not to take something personally sometimes.

@YourBuddyRandall Good luck. It’s not a fun situation.
@Mindful 👍🏼🙂

Be unnaturally kind to them and manipulate them

@SW-User I’m going to fail. It’s a physical fitness test and I’m nowhere near the running time I need to be

@SW-User teach me?

@YourBuddyRandall Just start with giving more importance to your response, not reaction
InvaderNice · 26-30, M
I intentionally interact with rude people to practice self control. Just be nice to them and pretend like the rudeness doesn’t exist. When they say something rude, mentally replace their comment with its polite alternative and respond to THAT. It’s difficult at first but it gets easier.

@InvaderNice this is good advice. Thanks man!

Ugh I'm in that situation right now. I'm avoiding but if questions are asked I'll answer them quickly and not engage in a bunch of dialog.
YourBuddyRandall · 26-30, M
@Mguinm My empathy goes out to you. Let me know if you need to vent about this.

Keep communication with them to a minimum and never let them see that they have any effect on you.

Rise above. People will notice how rude the person is and also how you react.
YourBuddyRandall · 26-30, M
@katielass good advice. I guess they have to deal with more consequences than me long-term. Thanks!

@YourBuddyRandall I guess wisdom tells us when to make something an issue and when to let it go.

Is it professional or personal? It depends
YourBuddyRandall · 26-30, M
@Prettybrat professional. That's why it's difficult.

I'm good at dealing with my personal relationships, but this is new territory
Prettybrat · 26-30, F
@YourBuddyRandall don't make them hinder you from doing your job be professional no matter how rude they're
YourBuddyRandall · 26-30, M
@Prettybrat I'll try. Thanks for the advice!

a) manipulate others into not liking them and shun the person as a collective.

b) manipulate the person into no longer wanting to interact with you

c) Duct tape em and post em to the arctic.

d) shotgun
NeloAngelo · 26-30, M
@YourBuddyRandall those were the beginner options. only other thing i could come up with is a 3 week Jigsaw death puzzle involving a highly unnecessary amount of bacon sandwiches.
YourBuddyRandall · 26-30, M
@NeloAngelo I do like bacon...
NeloAngelo · 26-30, M
@YourBuddyRandall okay in that case its really simple. kidnap em and leave em in your basement. let them starve but have a huge pile of bacon sandwiches in the room all laced with poison. arsenic is easy but fugu fish poison is better. LSD for fun. rotate them out every day so that there fresh and see how long he lasts before hunger gets the best of him. my record is 3 weeks. if he eats a sandwich you let him be free... for however long he has depending on what u laced the sandwiches with. :)

I try to avoid if possible
SW-User
Just be polite
SW-User
People who I care for, they are not rude to me.

Now when it coms to others, I cut them loose. I'd try to confront and fix things if they are useful to me or to the ones I care.

Behave as if they are someone you barely know. You be yourself. Be as you would with a stranger. Don't expend extra energy, but be polite.
YourBuddyRandall · 26-30, M
@VioletShadows that makes sense. I guess I am taking it a bit personally. Maybe being more "survival" minded is wise. Thanks.
VioletShadows · 51-55, F
@YourBuddyRandall They win when they stress you, and you can't be yourself. Be polite and don't react when they are rude, and they will be the ones that look bad.
Hecate · 26-30, F
Smear shit all over their car
YourBuddyRandall · 26-30, M
@Hecate maybe plan B.

Hecate is the goddess of magic, the moon, and hunting. She's a badass.
Hecate · 26-30, F
@YourBuddyRandall indeed :)
Mindful · 56-60, F
Ask them if they are being rude on purpose? Or is it unintentional?
@YourBuddyRandall My brother says I act just like her. lol
YourBuddyRandall · 26-30, M
@DarkHeaven would you recommend the show? I've actually been looking for one to watch.
@YourBuddyRandall It wasn’t bad. I find most anime a bit one dimensional in general but that being said, not bad. Watch a a few episodes and decide. ✌️
