Scold back while others scold at you?

This depends on the reason the person has for scolding me! If it's totally unreasonable then I am not going to take it lying down! I don't get physical in terms of striking out or anything like that but I definitely would give them a tongue lashing back! The adrenaline does start to work and you suddenly feel really angry, who is this person and what are they about! It's great that we live in a free society. Everyone has a right to live their lives without belittling others or being made to feel small by others! Andrew

Hello Karen, I depends on every situation dear.There was a time that someone scold me/shouted at me becoz i accidently bump his car.I was riding my bicycle and a kid suddenly appear infront of me and i abruptly turn the other direction to avoid hitting the kid,and as i swirve of i hit the car.The car alarm started and the owner angrily get out from the house and shout at me.He was so angry checking the scratch mark of his car,and face me and keep shouting and saying he will charge me.(it's not a big scratch thu,just a long scratch but not so visible). After few minutes of listening to his shoutings,i ask him in a low voice with my one eyebrow raising up " are you finish sir?..i am sorry about the scratch,but,there is only thing i can say,if you have park your car inside your garage,the,it won't get scratch,and...i never intentionally did it,i avoided hitting you kid who suddenly run out from you open gate that is why i was out of balance and hit ur car instead of hitting your kid". The man's expressions changed and his wife asks sorry...well,i understand his angry,but sometimes...we need to listen and investigate first before bursting out. We settle the matter

There is a limit for everything.If the scoldings are OK then I will let them go.If its unbearable I even dont mind hitting back let alone scold.But if I am at fault then I dont mind if they scold me but it should be bearable. If a dog bites , nobody will bite it but throw staones & hit with a stick.

I find it very difficult at times to control my anger and my temper especially when someone is scolding at me without fully understand me so I can get very angry maybe more than that person and reply back, but sometimes I might just remain silent and ignore that person to make him/her feel more hurt.

I'm afraid i've been scolded when i was a kid way too often, so if someone older than myself starts scolding me, i'll just quietly listen and try to get out of there. My father used to think it was extremely rude of me if i answered him back. But if its someone around my own age of group or younger, and doesn't know what they are talking about, i'm the first to defend myself or any other 'victim'. haha.

Well, I think in times of aggression like this, I definitely take things differently, especially considering the situation at hand. If I am completely sober, and someone is angry and yelling at me for something that I did wrong, I will listen reasonably and either agree or disagree with what they have to say, and say anything else I feel I need to say, and that's it. Otherwise, if someone is coming at me, yelling at me for no reason, or for a reason I don't accept, I will become frustrated and call them out, but I am not the type to be very disrespectable, but I like to strategize and make them feel like a-holes for yelling at me for no reason, and I try to outsmart them haha lol.

It would depend on the situation. If it's my fault, it's better to accept the fury. If it's not and it's a stupid argument, just shut the person up with a sharp remark. We don't need to fight fire with fire, nothing will come out of it. Things will be worse if we too lost temper and start shouting. Not only we embarrass ourselves but we don't solve the issue.

I usually prefer to keep quiet if someone is scolding me for a fault of mine. If I'm not at fault, then I wont keep quiet just like when a dog bites you, what will you do? you will kick it away!! Well my girlfriend's character is such that if you scold her, she will never listen & mostly will try to get anger back at you! Happy Lotting

I cannot control my temper when someone shouts at me and I shout back, but only with my family members, well I cannot do this in my work place although I feel wild to do so.

it depends on the situation if its my fault i dont revert back and if it is not mine fault i give nicely to that person!!
