How to Deal With Someone Mocking You

Getting bullied and dealing with people making fun of you is unfortunately a reality for millions of kids every day, and most people have their own emotional scar tissue from these experiences. The sad thing is, many adults continue this practice. These practices can be stopped when you learn how to deal with someone mocking you.

Instructions

1 Laugh. If someone is laughing with you, they can't be laughing at you. This holds the most true in situations when it is someone that you don't have to normally deal with. If you are never going to see the person again, laughing a comment off exudes a class and confidence that your bully is sorely lacking.

2 Turn it around. Think about what the person is saying and think about ways in which they are being hypocritical. If the statement or something similar can be said about them, turn it back around to the subject of who they are. Doing this with a laugh and merry tone will confuse and catch the person off-guard. Difficult people tend to know reactions they always get from people.

3 Ask someone why they are being mean. This is the most honest and direct way to deal with the problem, and it can be most effective. Most people don't call a bully by what they truly are. Asking them to face the reasons why is important and will leave most speechless, searching their own heads for how they got to this point.
