How To Deal With Rude People:

Rudeness is inevitable.

You’ll encounter rude strangers, coworkers, loved ones, etc.

But how do you respond?

Do you snap back?

Ignore it?

Let it ruin your mood?

When someone is rude, their behaviour often says more about them than you.

Maybe they’re having a bad day.

Maybe they’re carrying frustrations you can’t see.

Or maybe they’re just unaware of how they come across.

Either way, you have a choice.

You can match their energy and escalate the situation.

Or you can remain calm, aim to understand and de-escalate the situation.

You may think responding with kindness and calmness is weak, but it isn't.

It shows you have control over yourself.

And if their rudeness persists, remember:

You don’t have to engage.

You don't have to feed their negativity.

Protect your peace.

Because how you respond defines who you are, not them.
