Y’all should read chases article on how to make a zinger of a comeback. That post is very empowering.
I’m making comebacks left and right now and people trying to tool me look so silly. Thx Chase!
But right now the problem isn’t with direct confrontation, but when someone talks shit 2 feet in front of you basically expecting you to hear it.
I try and sneak in one of the techniques chase suggested but it just looks weird.
This sometimes happens to me even right after they talk to me. It’ll usually go from softer insults (“you’re not that good”) in from of my face to stronger insults (“this guy sucks ass”) to someone else.
He was obviously TRYING to start a fight there, but too scared to do it directly.
(I suspect that this happens because I’m one of the taller, more muscular dudes on the football team and they get a little scared to try and confront me head on.)
I once responded to this with a “Say it to my face then pussy” with confident body language and eye contact.
They tried to escalate, saw that I didnt budge, and backed off fast.
I realize this isn’t sustainable because a fight could have started right then and there if the guy was bigger or bolder.
Not that I’m scared of fighting, but just that I’m not trying to get in school trouble and lose my spot. (This situation was very public, lots of people were watching)
How would you guys react in a situation like this?
Is there a way to keep your confident composure, frame his attempts as weak, and still avoid a fight?
