How to accept an insult.

I don't think it is always possible to laugh at insults unless it is a joke or some prank. However, it is not even encouraging. If we allow once then it may become a habit.

That's what I feel, why should we take insult lying down. I would never allow any one to insult me if I am not wrong. Even if I am wrong I can permit only a few people to correct me.

If there is wrong from our side then also no one can really insult. Instead of insulting they can easily explain that they are wrong and need some guidance. Insulting makes any situation more worse.

Insult even from a senior person may lead to serious consequences and not desired. We should stay away from words like insult, hate etc.

I agree. Even punishment is better than insult. But some are in habit of hurling insult on others. If you respond, they are encouraged. The best way is to ignore them. Caravan moves on wile dogs bark.

I feel that the more you bother about other people and what they say the more they feel they have a power over you, the best thing to do is to carry on with what you are ding as long as you know what you are doing is right....just think I am the best damn the rest ! it is good for your self esteem as well...lol :cheer:

Not while you give a proper response first time around, that would let them understand that insulting some one may result in dire consequences.

The title of the thread is a misnomer. This is about accepting insult. The only question remains 'how to accept'. But most posters favor ignoring the insult. I suggest that the title be changed by substituting 'accept' with 'reject'. It will be more appropriate to discuss- How to reject insult.

We reject everything that is undesirable. So, insult is also to be rejected outright either by counter insult or by ignoring.

The topic raises another question while at the subject- Just why should one accept insult for any reason/s? If you accept it or ignore it, it only encourages the other one to go one step further.

But either way, when there is no expected response or reaction from others people get fed up and give up altogether, so ignorance is the best medicine I feel...

Why should we allow them to be on work for that long. Why not stop them at first point itself, who the hell they think they are to behave that way???

Ignoring the insult is really an encourgement to others. It is one way of giving chance to others to insult you again and again. Or we need to reach such a position that other person could not insult you.

Are your saying that - Ignorance is a bliss. :)

We can't accept insult .But sometimes we are not in the position how we face it and ignore it. If we accept, we feel shame.
