There are some people in the society who are very straight forward and rude. if they find something wrong in us, they tell us frankly and rudely in a manner that will hurt us. what do you do in such situations? Is it right to give them back when we swap positions?

First of all, i disagree with giving back in such a way. Because you have found they are very rude and relentless, why do you follow like them? Higher education and good behaviors work for our civilization, we have a greater deal of civilization and invention than ever before, why should we turn back? Of course, i met with this kind of rude people such as companions and employers even my rich relatives. However, they could make me angry, then i forgot and never mentioned it. And i never have a little quarrel aloud with others especially in my office. Maybe it gives the impression with a good manner. But what i want to express is that if you want to cope with something or revenge even retaliate some one, the wrangles or speaking aloud could not work out.

If it happened that way in my life and it hurts me, I will take a smart step to manage that person. To be a winner or loser is none of my intention. My decision making system will be on advantages with interests for choosing either to take for winner or loser. To take swap position will depend on the faculty of my mind strength, I must ensure that once I give out on him, there will no more new repeat or follow up from him on me.

I have had people do this to me and I do not respond back in the same way. I will not lower myself to the way they are. I try to put myself in anothers footsteps and think possibly before they came upon me that something happened to sour them. It is hard not to respond in the same way but by the same token that brings me down to how they are. I love people and I would not want to hurt them that way.

Hi surajpkn! I do agree with you that there are people who are actually like that. They just lashed out what they want to say without considering other people's feelings. i mean, you can always disagree or say something not agreeable to another person politely without being rude so, why demean yourself? I have experienced some kind of rudeness and was really hurt and embarrassed by it but I held my temper and try to calm myself. I wanted to confront that person the way she treated me but I hesitated because I think I am better than her for not doing as she did. I do not have to go low for the sake of defending myself. I think I emerged as a better person with the way I conduct myself. Besides people will just avoid these kind of people and will end up having more enemies than they could ever count. So, I think I will never be like those people because it is really an ugly behavior. Take care and have a nice day.

hi suraj, i somhow not always is able to give back to ppl bt i generally give it back only to my close ones and not to ne one else.. but according to me i feel its important to do it as one cant be the kinds n gentle ones these days and if some one is worng so that person shud be made to realise the truth.. and now-a-days u wud ahdlr find ppl who are not giving back to u..generally evryone gves it royaly when needed or not needed whether he /she is right or even wrong..offlately ppl are of the tendency or attitude that they shudnt be bending down for nethng or ne one... well its not always right to gve it back when we swap positions but its not always right to even hear it..
