How to respond to a rude person 
Choose whether to respond. 
Not everyone who is rude to you deserves a response. If she is clearly trying to drag you into a fight by being nasty, don't let yourself be pulled into a battle that serves no purpose.
OPTIONS:
- She probably is not trying to bait you into a fight. She is hoping to stay in your good graces, so keep your chin up and leave the room.
- Resist the impulse to defend yourself in the moment, which ends up being a more powerful way of protecting yourself. This may be easier with an acquaintance than a co-worker or family member, but you still have the right to ignore someone who is being rude to you.
- If you feel a sense of anger coming on, don't get into the fight. Remember, any reaction you have to the impolite person will probably be directed elsewhere.
- You should allow your emotions to show through. Try to see this in her reaction in order to determine whether you should react, or whether this person's behavior is a way to involve others or instead to sabotage your relationships.

OUT: Resist the impulse to defend yourself in the moment, which ends up being a more powerful way of protecting yourself. This may be easier with an acquaintance than a co-worker or family member, but you still have the right to ignore someone who is being rude to you.
