Have you ever dealt with a mean person whose behaviour is full of anger and disrespect? If yes, you may also have desire to express everything you feel just because of their mean behaviour. It is important that you should not talk back with them in the same way they did because then you both will be same and there will be no difference between both.

The best way to deal with angry and mean person is by kind words and expressions. My mother always told me to answer people with kindness even if they are angry and mean to you. You may also have heard that "More flies flock to honey than to vinegar." The word of kindness can defeat the enemy and they have the power to change a person or let them think of their bad behaviour. In this publication, I will share 10 ways that will help you response to a mean person in good way.
10 Ways to Response To A Mean Person
1. You seems to have a very bad day: This phrase will surely make him think of his behaviour. If you are dealing with a terrible person, he instantely realizes that he must pull himself together. Moreover, this phrase will show your empathy for him/her and it can give positive result.
2. Wow. You must be very unhappy: Despite some causticity, this sentence will make them think of their feelings. It will make you close to them or if worse can happen, he or she will ask you to leave or just stop talking.
3. I will take that into account, but let's talk about that later: This is the best way to tactfully inform your interlocutor that you don't want to continue the conversation because it is hurting you or unpleasant to you. Moreover, it shows how you respect other person.
4. Don't want to talk about this: This phrase will show other person that you have clear boundaries and you don't want to talk about the thing because it is unpleasant to you.
5. Have a nice day: It is better to finish them off with kindness and wishing them a good day is the most sincere way that will not hurt the other person but will let them think they have done something wrong.
6. Yeah. Thanks: Another best way to stop the conversation that is not pleasant to you. This phrase means "That's it, I am tired of the games. Thank you so much for your time. Goodbye."

7. Why so much negativity?: It is also good if you draw the attention of other person to his/her negative behaviour. He probably needs a little shame and his/her bad talks don't go unnoticed.
8. I don't like when you talk with me like that: When all above response fails, point out to the interlocutor what you don't like about him/her but just do it in a good and kind way. If he is a good heart person, he will surely realize how bad his behaviour was with you.
9. Your opinion is taken into account: Sometimes it is important to tell the mean person that his opinion is just his opinion and not a point of others. He/She may not realize the extent of his rudeness but if you point it out, he will understand and think that you are not a person who allows to cross the boundaries.
10. Just Smile: Smile is the best answer to a mean person who just thinks of himself. It is good to just smile, turn around and walk away.

Thank you for sharing these strategies for responding to a mean person in a kind and respectful way. It can be challenging to deal with someone who is angry and disrespectful, but it's important to remember that responding in kind will not solve the problem and may only escalate the situation. Instead, using phrases that show empathy, assert your boundaries, and acknowledge the other person's perspective can be effective in de-escalating the situation and potentially changing their behavior. It's also important to remember to be kind and respectful in your responses, as this can help to defuse the situation and show the other person that their behavior is not acceptable. It can be helpful to have a few strategies in mind for dealing with difficult people, so that you can stay calm and respond in a way that is respectful and effective.
