[quote=Anonymous]It's seriously not that hard to not engage with jerks. From simply walking/moving away or using other nonverbals- shocked face, slightly curled lip, silence, mild head shake, slight jaw drop, deep sigh, eye roll... to the verbals: "I'm not sure I understand" "I hadn't noticed" "why do you ask" "It's not my business" "Why would you say that" "You should probably tell HER/HIM that you feel this way." "Oh." "Gosh, that's so personal" "It doesn't bother me" "That's uncharitable of you" "I disagree, but it's not important" "who SAYS that?" "what do you mean" "moving on..." "sorry to change the topic but (insert new topic" ...and the list goes on and on... with a combination of simply not responding/acknowledging her or smiling blandly It won't change people like this and you will bore them by not playing along, but that's a good thing to not have to engage with people like this.[/quote]
