How to Respond to a Rude Friend
Q. My friend called me a loser because I did not want to join her in an outing. I know it was not meant to be mean but should I have said something?
A. As a rule, if someone is rude to you do not reply with rudeness. Not responding or silence is also an answer and at times better than words. The fact that you did not answer or create a scene is very good. Further, if you want to say something you can always say, “thank you, I appreciate the compliment”, with a smile. Your friend will get the message and hopefully think twice before talking next time.
