[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stare blankly at the person for 3 seconds, then completely ignore the comment. [/quote] Love it - I need to practice this! I’d probably just let things slide in the moment and then literally never let that person in my house again. If a family member complained about that, I’d explain that “it was so clear that she felt really uncomfortable here for some reason, so if we’re inviting her too, then let’s choose a restaurant or other venue.” And don’t budge. If I’ve ever gotten comments like that over my appearance, I’ve reflexively sort of just looked the other person up and down to see what they were wearing (usually nothing good or interesting), mustered a little half-smile and tried to just brightly say, “oh, okay!” I allow myself to show a little condescending fakeness if the person is particularly dense, since they likely won’t pick up on it anyway.[/quote]
