Know better. Realize that when others go out of their way to put someone down, there is usually some underlying reason.
Don't get involved. If and when someone decides to insult you, the best thing you can do is smile and state "no comment" or, if you have the guts, you can say,"I hope you have a happy and you stay happy." There is no reason for snide remarks and comebacks. Just smile and change the subject, and let them know that you refuse to be bothered by such immature and futile tactics. They're wasting their time, and embarrassing themselves when you don't let it bother you. It is better to finish the conversation sooner without being insulted.
Get over it so you can move on The person who is trying to bring you down is first and foremost trying to get a reaction out of you so don't allow it If you play it off like it doesn't bother you even if it does then they automatically lose sight of way they was messing with you in the first place. Make a note to stay away from this person that is trying to start drama with you until they learn how to behave properly if ever they do. Let them work out their own internal struggles themselves.
Vent only to someone you truly trust. Sometimes we do need someone to lend an ear so we can get a few things off our chest. But don't make the mistake of ranting to everyone who is willing to listen, no matter how secret they promise to keep your quotes sometimes they make the matters worst.
Don't feed into it it will get better. Don't let the person see that you're getting upset because that will give them more incentive to keep on going so they can get a drive off of you unhappiness

Liked the read. My best friend and someone who can certainly keep a secret is my dog Frenzal he listens to me. Of course he has no idea of what I am saying but he keeps my secrets and loves me unconditionally.

I try to stay away from people who create drama. I do not want that in my life.
