There have been so many occasions where I have heard from someone:

“I wish I knew what to say on the spot!!!” or “I wish I would have thought of saying this to her at the time…” or “I should have given her a piece of my mind right there and then!”

These folks often feel that they have either lost an opportunity to put someone in their place or let themselves down by not having the guts to speak out when they could have.

I just wanted to point out that the same situation could be viewed not as a shortcoming but a strength of character.

This is how I see/deal with it… I do not dignify catty comments with a response !

Its not always what you “said” that could have been effective but what you “din’t say”…in fact many a time SILENCE can be a better response to a “perceived dig” than allowing oneself to be “PROVOKED”…

Most people who usually make those kinda remarks are looking for a “reaction” , so not giving them the satisfaction of being provoked does the trick way better than stooping to their petty level…especially considering its always their “inferiority complex” talking …So why let their negativity affect you ?
