If someone is constantly belittling you and you want to rebuild your reputation, a little planning can help you a lot. Try to understand their weaknesses, stay calm, and come back to trust yourself to make sure you won't be lacking in respect anymore. Read on to know where to start.
Steps
Part 1 of 2: Learning Effective Frecciatine
Step 1. Insult their appearance
- "When your mother dropped you off at school, they fined her for littering"
- "I wish I had the chance to insult you, but Mother Nature has already thought of it"
- "Halloween is over, you can take off your mask"
- "You look like the before of a before and after photo"
- "Did you swap your neck for another chin?"
- "Were there other people injured in the accident that treated you like this?"
- "I've already seen someone who looked just like you, but I had to pay the ticket to enter"
- "I could use your shadow as an umbrella"
Step 2. Insult their intelligence
- "We already know that you are an idiot: you can stop constantly trying to prove it"
- "It's kind of sad to watch you try to fit all the words you know into a single sentence"
- "It must be a long and lonely journey when a thought goes through your head"
- "Surprise me. Say something clever"
- "I Heard My Dog Fart Smarter Things"
- "When I'm near you, I can feel the ocean"
- "If stupidity were a job, you would have a company and a lot of employees"
Step 3. Insult their financial status
- "You are so poor that even your meal vouchers are uncovered"
- "Do you always hang all that toilet paper out to dry before using it again?"
- "The last time you smelled a hot meal was when I farted"
- "Will you have to take those clothes back to the morgue when you don't need them anymore?"
- "You're so poor you can't afford to pay attention"
Step 4. Insult their attitude
- If someone tells you you're ugly: "Hey, at least with a little makeup I solved the problem. Anyway, it's not like I can say the same thing about you. Nothing can fix that attitude!"
- "Maybe if you eat your makeup, you could be beautiful inside"
Part 2 of 2: Choosing the Right Time
Step 1. Try to understand the weakness of the person you intend to belittle
You have to ask yourself what she is particularly proud of and especially what makes her feel particularly uncomfortable. Understanding these weaknesses is a good way to plan offenses in advance so that you can use them in your favor. Attack his pride.
- If the person who constantly teases you is always dressed very well or seems to be proud of, for example, their Nikes, remember what kind of clothes they usually wear and prepare insults in relation to their clothing.
- If the person is a very good student or, conversely, one who does very badly in school, insulting his grades or his intelligence can be a good way to get him under control.
- Sport is known to be often important in school, so if the person who insulted you is an athlete, consider highlighting his clumsiness at basketball or his failed attempts to make a basket.
Step 2. Smile and don't get angry
The insults are supposed to make you lose your temper, so practice putting the best face on a bad situation. When they insult you you should remain impassive, as if it doesn't hurt their feelings at all, no matter what they tell you. Smile and let the insult slip away. If you see the offender approaching, think about something else and plan what you will say in advance to avoid listening to him.
To distract yourself while they talk to you, focus on a slightly ridiculous feature, such as his nose, his ears, or if he has a pimple, stare at it with some intensity. It might even make you laugh
Step 3. Wait for the right moment
Getting into a duel of mutual insults with someone particularly skilled is probably a bad idea. If you can remain indifferent when you get taunted first, the ball passes to you and you can wait for the opportune moment to launch your well-planned taunt attack.
- If you go for the clothes tactic, you have to wait for your target to wear his new stylish garment and tell him you like his new shirt, then say, "The guy who picks up the garbage outside my house is wearing an identical one!"
- Wait for your gym class to tease him about his athletic abilities. If he trips or falls, point him with your index finger and start laughing making your friends join in the laughter.
- If you are going to insult his intelligence, wait until he has to read aloud in class. If you are next to him, imitate his reading style before switching to your normal voice and saying, "Oh, I forgot. I'm not an idiot!" If you miss a math answer, mutter something like "Einstein spoke" so that only he can hear you. Doing so in front of others will surely make him uncomfortable.
Step 4. Act as if your insult is not at all
Confusing someone by making them believe that you are sincere and that you are giving them information will allow you to break through their defensive barriers.
- After the lesson and very seriously, take the person aside and tell him something in a very sincere way; for example: "I didn't mean to tell you in front of everyone, but your pants smell like a restaurant grease filter. I almost threw up the whole time. Maybe you should call your mom and get a replacement." You need to be as specific as possible and act like you are doing him a favor.
- Tell him you happen to hear the coach say he throws the ball like a fourth grade student, so ask him genuinely if the workouts are going well.
- Tell him you'd help him with his math homework for fifty euros an hour if his parents could afford to pay for it.
Step 5. Consider the silent treatment
Sometimes, the most effective contempt can be to say nothing. Isolating someone from a social situation can be very effective if you already have a lot of friends. Pretend that you are talking about the person in question until they approach and then completely ignore everything they say, never looking at them or speaking to them.
Advice
- If they say something funny just ignore them and act like you haven't heard anything.
- Try excluding them from your group of friends to make them appear intractable and unpopular.
- Don't do this with people you know are their friends, otherwise these people will certainly stand up for them.
- Come up with arguments that you know they can't argue with.
