don't overthink it. i'm sorry
How do you become better at replying someone trying to roast you?
In my work environment it’s seemingly unavoidable to get roasted... even when I mind my own business :|
I’m not someone who looks at others’ faults but I guess that will help. There were times I’d say sth smart back but i wonder if I keep feeding it, whether it’ll ever end?
Hm. Maybe I just need to say shut the duck up. Maybe I’ve got a shorter tolerance than others, and that’s fine.
Ah alright. Thanks for the help
One strategy is to just say "ok" like you don't care or don't react at all. If their goal is to get some kind of reaction, you deny it to them.
Another strategy is shock and awe, but this will only work in certain situations and can backfire badly in others. If someone is mildly but annoyingly teasing you, you could blow up in their face and escalate the situation beyong the level they're comfortable with. This obviously is different on the playground and in a work environment, where your only option is to berate them and say this is not ok and you will go to HR if it doesn't stop. Only do this if you can back up your threat, otherwise you'll look ridiculous.
