Insult master the game

Somehow sleeping piranha poodles still sounds eminently dangerous. The Governor sure is loaded! Surely there's time for a couple of chapters of Treasure Island!

I just noticed the connection to Uncle Fester, what with the bald head and all. I guess pulling the wax lips off required a fair amount of force! A gopher horde! We're all screwed! Looks like my battle with Shinetop is To be Continued That may be so, but I do have one thing you don't have buddy!

A particularly skillful and vicious dairy farmer right?! Well, I guess that Sword Master was a bit of alright! You're a dairy farmer! It's not quite as impressive as Inigo Montoya, but it will do.

Oh he's good. He's very good! I guess we'll soon find out! That's not fair! I've never heard that one before! I found fighting pretty much impossible until I noticed the blue arrows on the left that let me scroll through dialogue options.

They're really hard to see! You actually got T-shirts made up? Not very confident for a Sword Master are you?!

They may leave you alone. For a while. But they will also go home and think up even worse insults. Very much like in the westerns. Once you prove how fast of a gunslinger you are, other gunslingers will want to challenge you. We will recommend a much more powerful method. One that is very simple, once you understand the deeper issues behind all insults.

To make the insulter higher than the receiver on the social status ladder. The common response recognizes this. As mentioned before, this is very much the gunfighter strategy. Most people are unaware of the never-ending social status power plays that are always present in human conversations and interactions. Humans are primates, and primates are social animals. Not just social animals, but where we are on the tribal hierarchy is of utmost importance.

We can temporarily turn off any social hierarchy concerns, but not for long. Whenever we are around strangers, and we know the situation is temporary, we tend to subconsciously and temporarily shut down our need to know and potentially improve our relative social status. Elevator rides, waiting in line in the supermarket, or passing people on the street are areas when our social status concerns are shut off.

Insulters use words, but they do so because they hope that on a subconscious level, the words will cement their hierarchy over us. People that have clear and defined social hierarchy never insult us. Consider that the insult is a signal that they are worried about their relative social status. To return fire with fire word with words would verify this. But when you ignore the words, and attack the energy, it will have a much more lasting effect.

The insult only works when the words do what they are intended to do. To weaken you emotionally. What is the best defense in this case? This is the most important part. To not let the insult bother you at all. This is much easier said than done.

This will require practice. If you want to defend yourself against a physical bully, it will require practice. If you need to defend yourself against a mental bully, it will also require practice. Spend some time and journal two ideas.

One, your worst imagined enemies. The people you feel would destroy you the most of they were to insult you. This list is for your use only, you do not, and should not, need to share it with anybody. Be brutally honest.

Imagine actually hearing the worst possible insult from the worst possible person. Then practice hearing it and not letting it affect you. Imagine feel the energy coming at you, but instead of tensing up and readying a defense, keep your muscles as relaxed as possible. Feel it hitting you and just let the energy wash over you. See it not as a truth, but something they think might be true. Something that is just as objectively true as them telling you that mayonnaise is tastier than ketchup.

Actually try to hear them say that, but with the same movements and energy as the actual insult. Pretend you are surrounded by an invisible energy shield that goes up automatically whenever anybody goes into insult mode.

This will take time, but it is actually very possible. Few people spit out insults without thinking about them first. See the characters getting ready to spit out an insult, and prepare your body by preemptively relaxing and going limp. Very much like animals automatically respond when in the jaws of a much more powerful predator.

Keep practicing this until you feel you can withstand an actual insult from an actual person while remaining as neutral as possible. If possible, find anywhere you can sit or stand next to people who are having actual arguments. When you do hear an insult, you are now ready to respond in a deadly way. Just maintain your neutrality, look at your insulter and ask a simple question: What do you mean?

They were expecting their insult to do immediate damage. They will hesitate, unsure if they even understand the question. No matter how they respond, keep on the same tact. Remain neutral, and ask for more information. Use the Meta Model , which simply means find any vague words or sentences, and ask for more specific information.

How exactly am I dumb? How exactly am I stupid? If you can maintain your calm, and ask those questions with the utmost in sincerity, it will make the insulter feel like an idiot. Even better is if it happens in front of other people.

It will have the exact opposite effect of what they intended. They will have effectively lowered themselves considerably on the local social hierarchy, and you will have increased your social standing considerably. Member Level 27 Blank Slate.
