5 Ways To Deal With Being Made Fun Of By People by tunnyl(m): 3:41pm On Jul 01, 2014 |
SOURCE http://xenxaltonix..com/2014/07/5-ways-to-deal-with-being-made-fun-of.html Sadly making fun of people is often viewed as a way of "just having fun" or " to lighten the mood". While this may appear as fun to those who make fun of others, it is not so to the person being made fun of as it often leave psychological damages on the person even though he or She may laugh about it to hide the shame and anger as a result of the funny remarks. Although no solution is 100 percent guaranted here are few things you can do to make people stop making fun of you. 1.) HOW PEOPLE WHO MAKE FUN OF OTHERS THINK Most of those who make jest of others believe they are better than that person in certain ways and thus often feel compelled to control others or gain control over others inorder to feel better about themselves. Their perspective is that their way of doing things is the perfect way and anybody who does or act otherwise is awkward and should be laughed at. 2.) SIMPLY IGNORE THEM Those who make fun of others are attention seekers who engage in this disgusting act just to feel seen and be the center of attraction. However ignoring these kinds of people by maintaining a tall, proud confident body language which says "Your opinion doesnt matter", "have you checked yourself in the mirror lately" will render them powerless. Because the more your body language shows how much you feel sorry for yourself, the more the torment increases. Also when disregarding people who make fun of you, make sure not to keep eye contact and if possible keep walking away from that scene. This would show how unimportant their remarks and statements are. 3.) DO NOT TALK BACK It is important to not talk back at them as this may lead to arguments with you being emotional and them getting more persistent and forceful which would get out of hand thus leading to violence. Especially if the person intimidates you. Furthermore it is certain that everybody at one point or the other will experience verbal abuses be it mild or intense, the key is not to take them seriously as this is precisely what they want. 4.) BE CONFIDENT Be confident, as those who make jest of others often target individuals who appear weak and are loners. When you speak, be as clear as possible and also be assertive and never act shy. Because if you are seen as confident then chances of being made fun of is very low as you will be seen by those who make fun of people as a threat who may give back as good as he of she gets. 5.) NEVER FEEL SORRY FOR YOURSELF Be careful not to feel sorry for yourself whenever you are being made fun of, especially if it is something that bothers you a lot like something that can hardly be changed or is impossible to change, for instance disabilty, obesity, e.t.c. Do not make it obvious that you are bothered about it else the jest would increase which may lead to feeling of depression all the time. Ignoring being made fun of is not enough attimes as no matter how much you try to avoid it, some remarks both innocent and harsh might leave negative psychological damages. It is advisable to confide in those who you can trust about your problems and also have positive impact on you.
