If any one scolds you for silly reasons then what is your first response?

I did the similar things in the past. but after i realize that staying quiet will cause the verbal bully to repeat his action to me again, i decide to fight back as soon as possible. the hardest thing is to train my brain to think fast to give the right and assertive response. the content of first response really depends on what kind of silly scolding I receive. for example: my ex-roommate said: "hey, your foods make my clothes smell bad!!". I just answered : "so what do you want? you choose room near kitchen. but you know we have air freshener." simple answer to make her quiet. i guess the point is: pay attention to one's accusation and think quickly if it is right or wrong. if it is just the empty emotional accusation, find that one's mistake. and speak firmly. no smile, no laugh. i used to fight with someone who didn't even want to hear my reason. every time i said something, he said something else in higher voice to prevent me from saying my reasons. this was hard. if this is not an important case (doesn't threaten your job or doesn't insult your self esteem), just ignore him and leave him. but if it is very important, raise your voice tone to force him to listen to your reason. you will do anything to defend your principles.

My response will depend on so many factors such as the place the incident occured, the age of the person involved,the relationship that exist between I and the person. If it is my boss or employer, I will swallow the bitter pills without complaint, if it is an elderly man or woman that is older than myself, I will ignore him. If it is a much younger person, I will call the person to order by explaining to him or her why there should be some understanding between both of us.

depends on who it is . if it is someone i care about (like my gf) i woudnt shout back. they are probably having something else in mind and i'll talk to them about it later. but if its some random guy who i dont care that much about i'll shout and swear at him to no end. if possible beat him up :)

It depends on how he says it. If he says it like I was some little child who doesn't know what I'm doing then it will upset me really. If as an adult and with some kind of joke put into it then I'll find it funny.

It really depends on how I feel at the moment. When I'm in a generally light mood, I would give sarcastic replies and tell the people scolding me how silly their arguments are. When I'm in a bad mood, I would go silent and glare at the person scolding me until they go away. When the person scolding me annoys me, I walk out on him/her.

First that comes in my mind i will have an arguement if someone scolds me for no reason/silly reason. But it also depends on the person who scolds if he is older to me i will listen him & reply politely in my deffence & if he is younger or of my age group i will argue with him.But in both the cases i will be frustrated.

i just do not mind their scolding as long as they never hurt me physically. although it depend on the situation if he humiliate me in front of the public and it based on lies. i would react and then retaliate. but if his accusation is built on non sense i would not be bother or worry since the people know i do not commit it. as being professional i would not say anything to him at the end he would the only one to blame for being a liar.

You've got to be kidding? Take your frustration out on someone else. Now, if you really want to see a cannon blow, say that to them. The reaction isn't pretty. Been there and done that. I no longer work for that person. Thank goodness. Best Wishes!

In fact I posted my view in regard to a similar situation raised by visavis--I will reply where I feel I am superior to others. Where I am infeior in cadre or situation (having done some mistake) --I will accept and cry if necessary. Yes. I have cried in the capacity as Manager of a bank branch also on one or two occasions. In many other situations wherein I cannot manoevure it I use to tolerate it crying within myself. What cannot be cured has to be endured. have a good day.

First of all, I will always tell myself to calm down because I am hot-tempered. I don't like fighting because it leaves only hurt on my body, nothing else! I choose to be silent as usual because I think he/she might be joking to him/herself instead of having motives towards me. I will make him/her to feel like he/she is talking to the wall.

Hmm, if anyone scolds me for really sily reasons. I would stare him in the eye long and try to out talk and manipulate my way into making him think he is wrong. If i cant outalk the person, i would escape the problem like saying dont be sily.
