Stay Classy, Folks "Don't let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace" ~Dali Lama I don’t know about you but I have always tried to take the high road rather than responding to bad behavior. Even when I am furious, I remind myself I am a lady and choose to remain classy. Let me share some of my recommendations that seem to deliver the best results. 1. DON’T ACKNOWLEDGE IT The best thing you can choose in responding to bad behavior is to not acknowledge it all. I realize this may be very difficult. I recently faced a situation in my own life and it took everything in me to do this but I did do it. To acknowledge someone’s poor behavior toward you is to tell them it got to you and they win. Refuse to give them that satisfaction. 2. BE KIND ANYWAYS Going a step further is even better. When someone uses bad behavior toward you, choose to be kind to them anyway. I am not advising that you be their friend. I think it is best to keep your distance from such individuals, but do so with kindness. I always tell myself that just because they choose to act poorly does not mean I will do so in return. 3. SMILE AT THEM WHEN THEY DO IT If someone does something in front of you that shows their bad behavior, smile at them. Not a true smile, mind you. Give them more of an I’m onto you kind of smile. This is really all it will take to put them in their place. It may not stop the behavior from them but they know that you know. 4. MAKE A VAGUE COMMENT When forced into a corner by someone’s bad behavior, do not panic. Don’t retaliate by saying something you may later regret. Say something very vague. This will get to them because they know they cannot get a confrontation out of you. After you master doing this, it is actually quite enjoyable to know that the best way to get under some people’s skin is to refuse to let them get under yours. 5. KEEP YOUR COOL You must keep your cool. Do not allow the person behaving poorly to anger you. Your cool temperament will show your class and their lack thereof. Let your actions speak for you; they speak louder than words anyway. Most people will hang themselves if you give them enough rope. 6. BE CONFIDENT Confidence can absolutely put out someone’s fire toward you. If they know they can’t get to you, what is the point of continuing to try? They may still dislike you but who cares? If you give in and show that what they have done has bothered you, you have had it. You have most likely just made things ten times worse. 7. ENJOY YOUR LIFE Living well really is the best revenge. I have had to learn this lesson in my own life. The best way to get back at those that attempted to hurt me was to be happy and enjoy my life. That is the opposite of what they want you to have so why not try all the harder to have it? As they see you are happy and moving on past their petty attempts to hurt you, they will know you were the true winner after all. I would love to learn more from you. What are some classy ways you respond to bad behavior directed toward you?  |

When you smile at others for bad behavior the will be confused and wonder what you might have planned for them.

This is wonderful. While you meant it, I believe, as a general bit of advice, it works very well as a guide to dealing with blogosphere trolls. Consider making this post sticky, at least for a little while. It deserves attention. There is no way to win when engaging with an Internet troll. The best advice was given by Malcolm McLaran in "The Great Rock and Roll Swindle": Do Not Play: Don't Give The Game Away. Stop in, read, and offer comments at my "swinging as seen in the media" blog, "Confessions of a Lifestyle Man" humorlife, which is also the home of the monthly virtual symposium.

One has to work at it to really make me loose my cool and make it visible. I may lose it on the inside but I'm too self-controlled to show it to people. Mostly what I'd do is call them an idiot and just walk away. I tend to give people looks that tell them to fuck off without me actually saying the words.
