What do you do when someone is rude to you?
- Get upset.
- React rudely.
- Become frustrated.
- Run away from the person or avoid the situation in the future.
- Blame the person.
- Preach to the person.
None of these will in any way strengthen you. What are the options? See someone’s rude behavior in this light:
- Rudeness indicates the intensity of their commitment.
- It indicates their level of stress and insensitivity. It attests to the upbringing of the person.
- It indicates a behavioral pattern.
- It shows a lack of knowledge.
- It shows a lack of insight into their own mind and its sensations.
- It shows you behaviour to avoid.
- It is an opportunity for you to welcome and absorb the rudeness.
- It strengthens your mind. It reveals the love that you are as unconditional.
The next time someone is rude to you, make sure you do not get upset. Just return a broad smile. If you can digest rudeness, nothing whatsoever can shake you.
