Question:
how do you guys deal with put downs.

im sure each of us have been put down by other people...
Answer:
It depends..
I hate it when my pride gets smashed into pieces.. so I usually go crazy. I have a short-temper.. I'd most likely argue with you till I get it my way.. (usually to hide my hurt/embarassed expressions)

..Normally I just walk off and don't let them say any further.
If it's something really big, I'll retaliate, then realize it's still going to go nowhere, and then walk off.

That's just with friends/people I don't know though.
With the SO, it's kinda different.
I have different reactions everytime. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)
Answer:
It really depends on who I'm dealing with. With people I don't really know, I don't really care. They don't know me well enough for me to care what they say. Usually people who put other people down are doing so because they are insecure about themselves, so I try not to let it get to me. Either that, or I'm very sarcastic. It annoys people and makes me feel better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

put downs are meant for courage and for us show them wrong.
Answer:
I would evaluate the put down for truthfulness and then improve myself accordingly.
Remember, it's not how fall, it's how you get back up.

Answer:
Never look down on anybody unless you're helping them up. - Jesse Jackson. I got a stern belief that if you aint got nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. So if someone puts me down, I tend to ignore it, because I wasn't the one who was being a jerk off for hurting someones elses feelings.
Answer:
I will argue logically.
I cannot take ppl insulting me or stuff liddat
Answer:
When I get put down I usually need to vent.
So what do I do? I cry.
It gets a lot out of me, after that I feel a bit emotionless.
Then it takes some time to recover..
I listen to music or watch things that make me smile.
It goes away pretty fast.
Some people seriously have no idea how pissed off people get when they get put down.
