I quickly walk away in silence to protect and respect myself. Find a safe space if possible. I don't care how many insults you throw---just do not put your hands on me. In today's society...most people want to physically beat a response out of you...one way or the other. I choose to stay safe out here in order to continue on a peaceful and happy journey. Great teachings---forever in love with growth and positivity in every area of my life. ❤❤💃💃🌹🌹🙏🙏
Your approach is wise and deeply empowering. Walking away in silence is not weakness but a testament to your strength and self-respect. Prioritizing your safety and peace allows you to rise above negativity and continue growing in positivity. Your commitment to this mindset is inspiring, keep protecting peace and thriving!
Yes this true But I am not women right person I do believe in all these weman footballs and wanting mens jobs God back to the kitchen sink have your husband tea ready be when he gets home and do what your tells you to do keep your mouth shut
Exactly! Rising above and refusing to imitate the behavior of those who wrong us is the ultimate display of strength and character. By staying true to our values, we protect our peace and integrity.
I find these videos immensely inspiring and helpful. I just came across them roughly 2 months ago after having had a desire to learn Stoicism--its teachings, its philosophy, and its applications. It's not easy for me to stay silent because I have a long history of often being verbally abused since I was a child, and still now with my sisters. The abuse has coexisted with major depression, anxiety, ADHD (as I've recently found out late in life), and very low self-esteem throughout my entire life (except when I was a toddler) up until now. So, I asked God to direct me to learning to achieve personal growth, becoming emotionally stronger and more resilient, to control my emotions, and to not become so easily hurt and reactive, the latter being a mistake I made when my mom would get hysterical, screaming and hurling insults at me (which was quite often). I look back, and I wish I knew how to handle that situation in a stoic manner. Now, with my sisters, I honestly fear them because they outsmart me and don't hesitate to hurt me. One screams, insults, and often controls me. The other is rude and passive-aggressive. I find both to be narcissistic. I wish their behaviour didn't affect me, but it does. It sometimes makes me sick at my stomach when they call me. I actually feel like I behave so cowardly. I usually don't fight back, insult, or take revenge, stooping to their level, but I'll be left ruminating about it. I stuff my feelings, but I feel that my sisters win and see me as weak, thereby further taking advantage of me, manipulating me, and mistreating me. I can control myself, but I keep my feelings bottled up, which worsens my health. Is there any case in which I should say something, of course, while staying calm? Sometimes they want to talk about their negative feelings towards me, or they insult me in the form of a question of which they want me to answer, especially on the phone in which they don't see my body language. It's like they go on & on until I'm forced to say something, whether it's a word or a sentence
Absolutely! Laughter can disarm negativity and show that you’re unbothered by attempts to bring you down. It’s a powerful way to take control of the situation without engaging in conflict. Confidence paired with a sense of humor can truly turn the tables!
Excellent point. Though one needs to assess the situation, because laughing at a rude person could shame them and escalate their rudeness into an aggressive reaction.
Although, I have experienced this often from strangers and loved ones----Like you, I will never understand the purpose of the violence. Even if you are silent, they still want to threaten physical harm----just to get a response out of you. The need for others to control you is nasty and very dangerous. You never did anything to them and don't even know them--- but once you show up---they attack---WHY.
People can be violent for a range of reasons, often tied to unresolved pain, fear, or frustration. Sometimes, it's a response to perceived threats, even if no words are exchanged-body language, past experiences, or internal struggles can trigger such behavior. Others may resort to violence because they lack the tools to process their emotions or communicate effectively. While it's troubling, understanding that violence often stems from inner turmoil rather than external actions can help us approach these situations with compassion while maintaining our boundaries and safety.
Or in contrast (and certainly with no disagreement with the question/statement you already made) the violence or assault of words ,..even without physical violence.. One often begets the other and both are destructive ? 🙏💜✌️🎶
It is fascinating, and sometimes troubling, how people can form strong misconceptions about others without ever truly knowing them. This often stems from assumptions, biases, or incomplete information. Stoicism reminds us to focus on what we can control, our actions and integrity, and let go of worrying about misunderstandings. Truth has a way of surfacing in time.
Fight back and leave. If not, you show coward and accept bully. However, don't fight back endlessly to waste your energy, you should know when to stop.
Exactly! Standing up for yourself shows strength and self-respect, but it’s equally important to recognize when to walk away to preserve your energy and peace of mind. Stoicism teaches us to confront challenges with courage and wisdom, knowing when to act and when to let go. Protect your boundaries, but don’t let unnecessary conflict drain. Balance is key.
That’s one perspective, and it often rings true. People who go out of their way to annoy or provoke others might be reflecting their own insecurities or jealousy. The Stoic approach reminds us to remain unbothered and composed, your peace of mind is your greatest strength.
Handling offensive or disrespectful remarks, especially from those in positions of power, can be challenging. The most constructive response is to channel any frustration into action, participating in democracy through voting, advocating for change, and holding leaders accountable. Your voice matters, and in unity, meaningful change becomes possible.
I don't want to be judgemental, INSULTING, or degrading etc..... but please,please PLEASE DO NOT PROFFER Ronald Reagan in reference to anything deep, caring or wise.. 😂😮😂

It sounds like you're expressing strong emotions about a serious issue. You're absolutely right, no one has the right to destroy another person’s reputation or force them to live a certain way. Respect and truth are fundamental values, and minimizing harm caused by others undermines accountability and justice. If this is something you’re facing personally or observing, staying grounded in integrity and seeking support can help you navigate such challenges. Keep standing up for what's right.

LAUGHTER is also a POWERFUL tool if someone is putting you down . Just laugh in their face .. You don't even have to think of a come back .

The best response besides silence came from Jesus. “I spoke no evil, why did you strike me”?
❤❤❤
I accept the challenge ❤
The best revenge is to live well!
Ronald reagan? You quoted him while talking about MARCUS AURELIUS? Wow!
Accept the challenge
Why are people violent? Even if no words are spoken

Isn't it amazing how people you have never met can be so mislead of anything real.

Angela Merkel also comes to mind especially how she dealt with Berlusconi and the like.
Silence.
Morons love to annoy- it's a sign of jealousy!

How we respond to being called garbage by our own president! You just fire him and that thing they call vice president!
…and what about all the insults delivered by his predecessor? It’s no different.
