Are you all set to beat the crap out of anyone who messes with you?

I won't be calm, and cry a lot when I'm back on my own, trying to figure out how to deal with it. But using violence? NEVER. That would only escalate. I would first of all tell this person his/her behavior is NOT acceptable, and try to explain myself in a decent way. Then if that person refuses to listen at all, or refuses to change, refuses to even say 'sorry', THEN I will give this person the silent treatment. Better to not put any (negative) energy, or any energy in general, into people who mess with you.
