Dealing with rude/mean comments from people.

How do you deal with people when their being rude or mean?

I would love to say I always kill with kindness, but its not always true. I honestly would say it depends on my own mood and what is being said to me.

I'm not perfect I've been rude and mean to people my self. Sometimes ending in a verbal fight. I normally will apologies depending on what happened if it was a misunderstanding; but, normally I won't apologies for anything I've said to someone that's considered mean. At the time I meant it even if I was angry. I find that normally 3 people tell the truth: drunks, children, and very angry people. True, some are mean just to be hurtful, but people usually say what they've kept in when their angry.

So I would give this in advice:

1. If you still agree with what you said to a person when angry, DO NOT apologies for getting your feeling of your chest.
2. If someone apologies for being rude then accept it, if you think its from the heart. However if something was said in meanness the choice is your to accept the apology, but remember what was said was their truth and they felt it at sometime they might still, everyone is in titled to their opinion even if you don't agree.
3. People who lash out in meanness and rudeness sometimes are just trying to vent what their receiving from someone else and unfortunately your the closes thing or easiest person to take it out on. Try to forgive and be kind to others, you don't always know what their going through.
4. If you must strike back try to do so with kindness. Kill with kindness. For some it will force them to stop bothering you to see their not effecting you.
5. Do unto others; as, you would have them do unto you. Treat people how you want to be treated.
