How to Deal with Snobbish People

I had seen so many people who are so snobbish. It is not only in the real world, but also online. What do I do? I just ignore them. I am not here to please anyone nor convince them to like me. I had this favorite phrase and inculcated it in my mind: 'If you hate me, the more I hate you.' Does it affect you when meeting this kind of persona? How do you handle it? Image Credit: us.123rf.com

unfortunately, i was never good at small talk no or social niceties - both online and offline - to the point people always mistake me for being either rude or a b!tch so i appreciate those who still interact with me - online and offline.

I don't mind if they think of me this way, too. There is nothing wrong if being frank when saying things to others. It's not my cup of tea to sugarcoat things up. If I do, then I am just cheating myself by being real to them.

I just talk to you like I would talk to anyone else... Sometimes you talk like anyone else but other times... *sigh*

I can do that. I will just shake my head when feeling annoyed. There are times that we cannot avoid them since they keep on pestering us.

@Shavkat *sigh* I know... it seems, no matter what happens, I can't get away from talking with you, no matter how badly you treat me. I just don't know what to do about it.

I simply ignore them, it's giving them too much attention saying that you hate them.

The best way to handle snobs is to not allow their bad behavior bother you. I usually laugh at people who call me a whiner for poking fun at their favorite persons.

I agree. I sometimes pretend that they are not be seen by me. For some reason, I just laugh at them silently. I must admit that it makes me entertained because of their unacceptable actions.

It is a nice principle to guide me in dealing with people who have bad intentions towards me. We can also use the phrase: 'If you love me, the more I love you.'

@yoalldudes Are you referring to people who are backstabbers? Well, they will not have a chance. I can determine people who have bad intentions.

For me, I can tell by reading the words used and typed by these people. I can feel if they are sarcastic or not. It seems that I can be a critic if there is a chance. I also don't dwell much on Fb. I just checked the private messages sent by those people who want to be connected with me.

I just move on, but I do not forget. So when they approach me because they need something from me, I call them out on it. Not harshly or in a bitter way though, just enough for them to feel bad that they did that to me. Oftentimes, I do not get to see them anymore. I don't let it bother me anymore because they may not even realize that they are being snobby. One time, I was accused of being a snob. I said I wasn't, I was just deep in thought wondering what I can make for dinner.

I personally want to share that some of my close friends became like this. I don't know why they had changed when living and working abroad. It seems that they had changed for a different level of persona. For this reason, I continue to ignore them on Fb. Some people think that I am snobbish in person. It is just a first impression but it will change if these people will try to know me more than the first meeting. However, there are some situations wherein I really cannot open up with a particular person. It is like I am sensing something is not right to be with him or her.

@Shavkat You are not the only one, I encounter those same people who suddenly think they are above everyone else when they got here. This is especially true for those who went from having almost next to nothing to suddenly having lots of things, as if they are now living the high life. For me and my family, this is not the first time that somebody went abroad. Even back then, my aunts and uncles have been living and working abroad, so we are exposed to this kind of lifestyle at an early age. We know that there is nothing special about it. We have the same bills to pay, our salaries may be in a different currency but the expenses are also the same.

@Raine38 I must say that it is the reason why we have to cut the tie with our relatives to my father's side. When they had a bunch of money in their pockets, they had changed and wanted to nibble us down. We fought back when they are trying to get my old man's inheritance. How greedy they are? Sorry to say, my family and I are warriors and they cannot easily pull us down. They gave in eventually. For my friends who are living and working abroad, they really changed Even my best friend in NYC, just sent me a message on FB and didn't reply anymore to certain concerns.

There are so many mutant students lately. They are so rude and I continue to ignore them. The downside is that they are making me have poor evaluation. With this concern, I continue to ignore the company's staff because they don't anything anyway.

I agree. We don't need to please everybody. Being ourselves is fine and no need to defend ourselves to be accepted by them. That's the problem for some people who judge others easily.

I assume you are an empath. I had a cousin from a different country; he spent his vacation in NJ staying with my family. When I saw him he didn’t say a single word to me and didn’t bother smiling. I felt he totally ignored me. I accepted that I should keep my distance. It bothers me the fact he was my cousin. Nowadays, I pretend I don’t know him.

That's really awkward. For the reason that he is your cousin. If I am in your shoes, I will just ignore him. Who knows he might open and be friendly. You are right that you perceived me as an empathic person.
