Do you feel upset on rude behavior ?

We cannot control what other people say, and they could be very rude. But we can control our reactions to them. Even if I may be angered by what they say, I don't let them see that - I don't want to give them that satisfaction. However I'm not one to let go - ha ha - I will get back at them in a subtle way.

Let's just say it depends on the person...and my mood! lol

I get very upset when someone behaves rudely. For one thing, I get tongue-tied and am not very smartly sharp when it comes to responding immediately.My defences are a bit low. I slowly react and make myself miserable later.Now I am getting over this but sometimes this leads to my being extra defensive too. I need to strike a balance. It si great to be back on the site and participate in discussions. Thanks for tellling me about the revamped mylot Deepak! Have a great day.

Honestly, I believe in giving people a taste of their own medicine so that they do not ever repeat the same mistake with anybody else. Yes, I seethe. I don't always succeed and am not sharp witted either, but they get to know that I am not happy with that behavior or attitude. Verbally. In front of others. I prefer putting them on defensive. Quite often, as Kala mentioned, people do behave rudely. If they are unable to control their jealousies, then it is bad bringing up. Somebody ought to correct that, it just as well be me. lol

I tend to listen without saying nothing back. If the person is somebody that I don't know, I can also be rude, but it is rare. If I know the person, well, everybody can have a bad day. I am rarely upset by rude people. If they have not good manners, it is often due to a lack of education and bad for their karma.

We have to deal with people on an individual basis.Not everyone is going to be nice, not everyone will mesh with us. I don't really care of someone is nasty I just don't bother with them. It's not the end of the world. And besides, we do live in a cruel world.

I'm nice until it is time not to be nice! Being rude shows more about the person than me. So I usually just walk away. And the next time I see that person I avoid them.

Hi Deepak, it is good to be back and discussing and posting here, seems like old times ...coming to the topic, there are some people who are rude and disagreeable all the time and there is very little you can do other than ignore them.We have a shop keeper near our house who has a nice little convenience shop selling everything under the sun.He is indifferent bordering on rudeness with all the customers but I guess everybody just accept his behavior because the shop is very close to many residents and open until late at night and even on sundays..If only he smiled a little things would be so much better,,I still feel upset at times when he literally throws the change at you

For the most part I will say something although there are times I was quiet due to shock. I feel mostly annoyed by rudeness.

To each their own. How one handles it depends on the situation.

i guess it depends on the situation..but it does not help when i am in a bad mood already but when i am alone in a public lace, i usually just let it go

I usually stay quiet, even when people act like jerks. (Unless I see somebody abusing an animal or being cruel to an animal.) I WON'T let that go without a fight. But just the regular, everyday jerks that are rude all the time just because they want to be....that's when I stay quiet and walk away. Because the reason they are acting like jerks, is because they are very angry inside and unhappy with themselves. And that's punishment enough.

I used to hate rude people, but after taking many psychology classes over the years, I try to to see what their viewpoint is. Does the person have a possible disorder or did they have a bad day? Of course if I am caught off guard I may react and walk away in anger.

I don't like when people are rude to me. Sometimes it gets really on my nerves.

Human as we are we normally get irritated or annoyed with people who are rude that is why sometimes we do the same just to let them know we are affected.

It does take all kinds to make a world. I can be rather patient until stupidity, rudeness and lack of professionalism take over and then I lose it. Now days even in customer service there are the rude ones. I have had to talk to managers in the past because of reps' stupidity. I don't let things go too often. Depends on what it is and how long it has been going on.

I have only had that happen once, and that person I blocked, becasue they are very vindictive, and he thought he was right and everyone else was wrong. I enjoy mylot, and for someone to do that, brings me down, and it doesn't become fun then.

It's one aspect i really don't like in a person in addition to being a braggart .

I might say we do not have to accept rudeness. How we react to it is a good question. To ignore is a possible solution. Rude is rude to be sure but often what we think is rude is really a different way of expressing?

Hi dpk. No absolutely not, I do not let it upset me and nor do I react as I have found it to be a waste of time and energy and emotion for me. I do not know what the problem is for the rude person, so I just leave them, and let them have their temper tantrum by their self.
