If someones calling you names what should you do?

Answer 1

If he/she is calling you names there could be a slight hiccup in your relationship and you might feel disrespected, a good thing to do is talk to him/her in confidence and tell them how you are suffering. Sometimes these things can blow their minds and things could get out of hand, if he/she starts shrieking and going mental then you should end the relationship there and then.

The dynamic between couples should always be one of respect. If your partner is perpetually demeaning you with glib jibes or denigrating words, then it's important for you to address this subject. Do not attempt this during a period of anger as it's often that neither of you will achieve your intended goals. It will only turn out to be a further accelerated argument.

Find a comfortable environment, such as whilst dining out, or after sharing intimate time together to tell your partner that you feel hurt and demeaned when he does this. It may possibly be that he isn't really aware that what he is saying as a joke, you are taking as a hurtful insult.

If your partner persists with demeaning and denigrating you, think carefully whether there are other things they do which make you uncomfortable. Are they trying to control you? Are they trying to demote your self-confidence? Are they actually trying to feel better about themselves at your expense?

If your partner refuses to listen and persists, try again and remind them that you've told them previously how much their behaviour hurts you. Make no threats, nor place yourself in a situation whereby you could be in physical danger.

But following their repeated behaviour of demeaning you, it may possibly be that you will need to take a 'break' from them. If this is the case, plan your departure without threatening them or telling them where you're going. Ensure that someone such as a family member or best friend is willing to accommodate you for a day or two to allow your partner reflect on your absence.

If there are children in the relationship, your first responsibility is towards them. You must always ensure their needs are met first and with as little turmoil as possible. Children should never be victims of adult domestic disagreements.

If you have no nearby family members or close friends who can assist you through a transition, it may be that you'll need to consider seeking assistance through a service that supports domestic abuse. It's important to realise that verbal abuse can be a precursor to physical abuse!

If you can get through your entire life without someone calling you names then you aren't human. If people don't say it to a person's face (I call them back biters) then they will say it to others who will listen. Have faith! There are a lot of people out there that disagree with a 'back biter' and the way to stop the name calling or gossip is to disagree with the person doing the victim an injustice.

If you are in school and are called names never put your head down, but look the person(s) straight in the eye and walk past them (no matter what they say!) You know who you are and people that name call are extremely insecure. Hang out with the people you like and the ones that fit your personality and never mind the other unintellectual ones calling you names.

There is a saying about 'nerds' being called names or of someone that doesn't fit in to certain groups of students 'those nerds will be the ones sitting across the desk when you need help of any sort and it will be YOUR money they'll be taking!' Think about it.

Remember, walk tall, look 'em in the eye and high school isn't forever!

Answer 3

Depends on a lot.

If it's a family member (heaven forbid :) then the best thing to do would be to tell your parents. No matter what age you are, from 5 to 50, then parents 9 out of 10 times can help you. Be sure not to make it seem like you're whining, though; however, make it clear that you're tired of the name-calling and want an end put to it. If this doesn't work (with the parents, to clarify) then there's the reliable way of ignoring him/her. Even with adults, if they realize you're not going with it, they'll stop.

If it's a school, college, work, etc member, then first try to talk it out with them (with the exception of pre-k through 6th grade, where you'd want to follow the family member advice.) If they refuse to talk or accept and then mess up the talk in one way or another, then you can go follow the family advice again: tell someone in charge, and then ignore the person if they continue.

Remember, most people call other people names to have fun or get popular. This usually won't last for very long.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Try not to let it get to you if you can. Try to ignore her, as she is after a reaction from you. Often when they do get you to respond, they will get others to join in by pointing out your response. Your a better person if you can walk away.

Answer 5

Walk away and if that does not work tell someone and if that does not work stand up to them and if that doesn't work ignore them and they will get bored and if that does not work i cant help you'd NOT GIVE THEM THE SATISFACTION OF SEEING YOUR HURT STAND UP TO THEM AND MAKE A SMART COMMENT AND IF THEY STILL KEEP AT IT THEN KNOCK THERE KNEECAP OUT THERE *** WITH A Baseball BAT! VERY ENTERTAINING TO WATCH YOUR BULLY SQUIRM WITH PAIN LOL!

Answer 6

Just say: "Thank you for that!" What a blessing that someone else in this busy world is taking the time to actually acknowledge you. When you are NOT being noticed, that's when you begin to get worried. Fundamentally, the name they are actually calling you, refers to themselves.... That they are seeing in you. Enjoy and value the attention they are giving you. Gratitude is the key to joy, peace and personal freedom.

Answer 7

You must feel happy if your mom calls you names.You should also keep some sweet names for your mom to make her feel happy.
