How do you handle shit talkers?

Not directly related to fitness but because IST deals with concepts such as mogging and social dominance I think it's the most qualified board. Bare with me please.

Ever since my teen years, I've encountered "shit-talkers". People who are quick witted and enjoy verbal confrontation. They like to use their words to flex on you and assert social dominance over you in some way.

The thing is, there is hardly ever any substance to what they say. They just say things, and then act like they are superior. Ever since I was in middle school, it has always thrown me off.

People will try this with me, and come at me with some baseless, stupid remark. I can see right through them. I logically know I am superior and smarter than them, but even so, you have to handle it in some way. I feel like if you don't respond, you look like a b***h to those around you.

I have always found it difficult to handle these situations. I hear what they say, and I analyze it in a cold, clinical way. But my brain does not autofill with quick, snappy remarks to combat them with.

How does one handle this type of person?

    I respond with some bullshit I came up with right then.
    Or I don't interact with them
    Or they don't do this because I am bigger than them.
    Ever since I got over 200lbs I don't encounter many people shit talking me.

    You can always respond with a super basic response.
    Like
    "get fricked"
    "your mom"
    "manlet"
    "homosexual"
    etc.

      I think you just answered my question. Engaging people lowers you to their level. Maybe being so stacked you mog everyone around you is the solution. If they don't dare talk shit in the first place, no problems to worry about.

      It's different types of intelligence. Black folk are often quick witted and excel at talking shit. But does that make them superior? No they are Black folk.

      Imagine the difference between Beta and Theta brainwaves. That's what's going on.

      Imagine a Black person attempting to talk down to a surgeon. It's apples and oranges.

    Your self-image is wrong because if you were really superior and smarter than them you'd think of a witty retort. You also seem to think that being smart and logical is the only thing that matters, while social skills are actually a crucial part of interacting with the world.

    For all the shit PUAs get this is one area they actually know what they're talking about. Google "agree and amplify" and "amused mastery". If you can't go toe to toe wit wise you can win by smiling like you know something they don't, acting like you don't give a frick or taking what they've said and making a joke out of it by taking it even further. Defending yourself in any way is a guaranteed L.

    By not caring what shit talkers say. If you laugh at it it takes away it's power, clearly it's not in your personality so dont do it back. It's garbage and you shouldn't feel ashamed that you can't shit talk good. You should be most concerned you care so much about it. If somebody is actually getting under your skin learn to stand up for yourself by telling cut that shit out. Learn to own all your insecurities and it won't be a problem. If you can learn to relax while it's happening, you can even learn to say witty shit that owns them. But first you have to not care

    If you are in a friendly, formal or professional context the Socratic method can work fairly well. This type of subtle social "bullying" (for lack of a better word) only work when the bystanders don't realize the intent of the offender.

    Try responding with questions like:
    What do you mean?
    Why would you say that?
    What makes you feel that way?
    I didn't quite catch that, can you repeat?
    Why should I care what you have to say?

    As always, posture and non-verbal communication is key. You should aim to come across non-confrontational and slightly amused. Bystanders should get the impression that you don't care what the offender is saying but you are humoring them out of good will/politeness.

    This should work because you are reverting the social pressure of the situation back on them, and most midwits crumble under pressure. If they are actually intelligent and witty this strategy could backfire though, so be warned.

      I slightly agree that those question make you a killjoy; but if you use them in the appropiate context, i.e. with a shit talker, they become essential. You can throw people off so much with
      >what do you mean?
      You just need to look at their eyes and ask it. It's surprising the quantity of people that get anxiety level 100 from that simple question.

      The general rule of winning mogging is that whoever reacts less wins, and that it is very important to not have an emotional reaction.

      So say a guy insults you, some options are:
      >don't react at all
      >say a witty comeback if you have one
      >say a standard insult like "K homosexual", as long as it shows that you don't care but the other guy is a loser for caring
      >if they call out an insecurity hit them with an insecurity right back, so that they will learn very quickly to not insult you.
      >agree and amplify - homosexual leftists like to do this with the oppression olympics as a way of fitting in, but it can work well if pulled off correctly

        >>don't react at all
        This can work great, but it only truly works if you truly don't react, and the other guy reacted at least a little bit in telling the joke.
        If the case of a nagging woman, not reacting means they will grind you down until you set some boundaries.

        Kek he's right tho. I pondered your OP for a while, because I felt I have not encountered shit talkers since high school. Then I realized I am the one shit talking. It's not to be mean. Honestly. I shit talk Chad too but it just becomes banter, you see? When I try to banter with the weaker dudes in my friend group it probably comes off mean and belittling, because they fold the instant there is confrontation. It's quite difficult for me to put in words what you should do. Just don't take anything seriously - you can even make jokes at your own expense as a response. Keep your tone of voice neutral. It's just how males bond. Through banter. Getting defensive and trying to take down the other person will come off as weird, at least until you have practised a bit.

        Ignoring will come off as weird too, you can't just exist in a social environment and not play the social game.

    Had a skinnyfat guy trying to act cheeky with me in front of his semi-hot girlfriend, asked me how I got so fit, I must have spent all of my free time in the gym. Replied that eating clean, lifting once a week and that sex is a good workout, cheekily winking at his gf. He got angry and slipped that he has lots of sex and it doesn't help him. I just told him that two minutes is not a very good workout.

    My advice:
    >stop hanging around unsocial people
    >seek friends with a brain and emotional intelligence you can network with and/or build meaningful relations

    If you still encounter such people, ignore them. Don't waste your time with childish behavior. If they become physically hostile however, knock them out (and possibly steal their cash, watch and other non-traceable valuables from their body if the situation allows it)

    A lot of the time I just double down on whatever they are saying. Apply sarcasm/deadpan/etc. as the situation warrants. It takes the wind out of their sails and ruins it for them. Or they decide I'm funny and cool.

    "You're moronic."
    "What's your favorite crayon? Mine's blue, I think it tastes the best."

    "You're a homosexual."

      Can you offer me advice? I’m the guy posting paragraphs below you. This shit always happens. They push and prod and I genuinely don’t give a frick so I don’t even react, and so they keep doing it until I’m having a shitty time in life or they cross a line for me, and I snap and put them in their place and then I’m the bad guy. Everyone ignores them fricking with me but the second I pick someone up and slam them or verbally go for the throat everyone takes notice and I’m seen as some unhinged psychopath. Like I’ve had co workers belittle me for a full year with no reaction from me, everyone witnessed it and said nothing or joined in even, and then after a year I pushed the guy 10 feet onto his ass and told him “stop fricking with me you’re a weak homosexual.” And everyone’s against me.

        popularity contest. They sense you have lower social status so they feel the right to abuse you. Striking back is going above your position. Normies hate it when someone with percieved lower social rank is better than them at something. It implies they're the one with low status, or that they're lower than someone as low as you and it hurts so they find ways to reconfigure reality in their head until they're right and you're wrong.

          > typical lemming/leftist social dynamics
          The guy in question is a poster child leftie soiboy cuck but what you posted makes a lot of sense. He’s a manlet and I’m tall, I’m the newcomer to this social circle so he’s doing all he can to inflate himself. Others in this group have talked to me about it, calling it totem pole shit and saying it needs to stop. I would make the analogy that it’s like he has some imaginary social credit system based on points.
          When he got his first GF it got even worse. I realized he was begging me to hang out with him so he could do this shit in front of her. Dude had to be right next to this girl 24/7 and refused to do anything unless it was something she wanted to do or thought of. “No bro we can’t game she’d be left out (for a whopping 30 minutes/the entire night)”.
          I ultimately just cut him off after getting tired of it. He’s having issues with his b***h now and keeps hitting me up after I told him I’m no longer interested in being buddies.

        normies don't think social interaction is special. so they see normal shit, normal shit, normal shit, and then all of a sudden you do something 'out of turn'. you do something animated and explosive, something that could have hurt someone.

        that, in the eyes of a normie, is a bigger 'violation' than normal conversation, even if it's a little rude or snarky. that is why. normies are weary of abnormal people (im sure we both know this from experience).

        one thing I will put out there - learning social skills has huge returns given the number of normies out there, especially normies that control your salary. so learn to be a normie in little bursts. literally 2 or 3 minutes at a time. if you're skilled enough, you won't have to 'be normal' for longer than that and it won't be an exhasting charade or anything. trust me, this will have huge, huge returns.

        the way people treat me now is night and day compared to a few years ago when an instructor at a programming class said I was "staring at her like a serial killer" with clear annoyance in her voice. i legitimately considered killing myself after that zoom call. i was convinced i will never be anything close to normal.

        but with a new job, new city, etc. nobody knows how abnormal I was back then. because now I can pull it out for a few minutes. and honestly, nobody backs me into a corner where I have to do it for longer than that. they just accept it as "Oh, anon is an introvert, so he won't really want to go out for drinks with us" and it's not a huge deal.

    Hey man I can shed light on this as I’ve struggled with it too. What you describe is an amount of shit talking most people don’t see or experience. We mention it once and people just assume we’re b***hing over nothing but it’s a constant thing. Yeah everyone deals with it, but not on this level. I can mostly say what I’ve determined it to be in my case but I believe it will help you too.
    So the biggest shit talkers I know are manlets. For me I’m 6’2”, good frame, but I’m reserved and introverted and I’m also generally pretty kind to people. If someone shit talks me or gives me any crap I normally don’t care (because I’m used to it and it takes nothing from my own life) and don’t even really react. These manlets will then convince themselves it’s fear or stupidity or something and it makes them feel good and big to have a punching bag my size. Every now and again I’ve gotten fed up if I was having a hard time and snapped or lashed out and then everyone who they cry to just sees me as the bad guy who bullied a man half my size. I go for the throat when I retaliate, and it’s really not a good habit. It’s not just manlets, but I noticed 90% of the time in my life at school or work or social circles it’s from a guy around 5’5” or below.
    I recently cut off my best friend for this. 5’2” homosexual who would try to insist he was 10x more intelligent than everyone. He’s actually a bumbling moron but that’s besides the point. He would do the same stuff and it was obviously a way of stroking his own ego. Any chance he got to belittle someone myself included he took even if like you said it made zero sense. For example, he didn’t understand sarcasm. If I said “oh yeah I’m actually a Trump superfan and I only beat off with a pic of him watching me.” He would turn around and tell everyone

      The guys entire life revolves around trying to make himself feel better than other people. He was an elitist and only thought music, movies, shows, anime, manga, food/restaurants were good if a majority of people held it in high regards. If someone he considers beneath him finds something or introduces him to something genuinely good, even if it is held in high regards by many, and he didn’t find it in his own, it was considered terrible by him and shit all over. I even tested this. Made some desert for a party from my country and he said it was horrible and idk what I’m doing (I’ve baked as a hobby since I was 7 years old following my grandmothers old recipes to a T, my shit is good.) so a week later at another party I went out and bought the same deserts from a bakery. They tasted different than mine but still really good. He does the same stuff thinking I made it.
      He would also talk mad shit behind my back to mutual friends thinking I never knew or never heard about it afterwards.
      Some people can’t help but hate on others because they hate themselves. This same guy was suicidal when we began hanging and BEGGED me crying to hang out with him and I did. He gets out of his slump and pulls this shit. If we hung just the two of us he was chill. Other friends around and he belittles and talks shit about me or others. Dude got a 3/10 obese girlfriend and it was like a bomb went off. His entire existence is convincing himself and her that he’s better than he is by trying to make others look bad.

      Anyways to the point these people are just fricking losers. Seriously dude, ask yourself this: Would anyone who was confident or happy with themselves and their life be wasting this much time on another person? They’re weaker than you. Why care about someone weaker than you lol

          It’s not just manlets, but they disproportionately do that crap. Of all turbo manlets I’ve met 1 was actually a cool dude and ironically he was the shortest. Not even 5’. He was jacked but it didn’t even seem like he was compensating. Just a genuinely cool guy who treated everyone with kindness, super confident. He was a mini chad. Got girls easily.
          All others were geeky homosexuals who got off on belittling anyone they thought they could.

        i know a shit talker. hes my older brother. he's had a pretty ugly personality basically his entire life. it's weird because as a kid i thought he was cool because I just figured older guys were cool I guess. now I realize nothing I did would have gotten his respect in any way, he went out of his way to shit on others and feel superior.

        now, to no surprise to anyone with life experience, he's a 35-year-old burnout that can't hold down a job or a relationship. he also lives paycheck to paycheck despite making 6 figures when he DOES have a job (as a programmer). hes legitimately absolutely terrible with money and has literally asked everyone in the family for money while he's employed.

        that's how mismanaged his life is.
        my parents keep on guilting me to moving back to where they are so I can be near them. but that's where he is, so it's a no-go for me. he lives near them so that he can live in one of their houses for free, by the way (which im sure also doesn't surprise anyone that has a decent amount of life experience)

        anyways, such is life. honestly the less I think about it the happier I am. but i know just from observing my own life quality that thinking about people that irritate me literally serves no purpose. distract yourself. if you have no distractions, then that is your primary task - to make distractions. pick up hobbies, make friends, make money to buy distracting things. eventually you'll be so distracted with your own life that you'll wonder why you ever cared in the first place.

    Shit talker here.
    Being a shit talker is shit and we have miserable lives because of it. It comes from insecurity and just wanting to be liked too much. The best way to turn shit talking into your advantage is to be like "hell yeah man, you got the hottest takes and should do stand up or something". That disarms a shit talker unless they are a manlet. Manlet shit talkers are some of the biggest psychos.

            well its just funny because im 8 inches (grew from 6.5in) and working on my girth with a bathmate, but when I started reading actual studies on dick size its funny to hear when people say theyre 8 or 9 inches because about 70% of men are around 4.75-5.5. So chances are some random guy who says he is 8 inches or 9 inches is lying, there was a street interview where this guy was asking people their dick size and it ranged from 7-12 inches. Which is statistically impossible.

              It is funny. I’ve had a normal 5” dick and from 18-25 it grew to my current size. I’ve fricked with it at 5”, at 6” and at its full size. Yeah there’s a difference in my sex life but I’ve since stopped chasing my own nut like I’m fricking a human fleshlight.

              Yeah dude the thing that gets me is I had zero concept of other peoples height until I was 20. I didn’t even know I was considered tall and always thought I was perfectly face to face with everyone. It wasn’t until I began getting hit on by women (just them asking how tall I am and shit like that) in a college club at a fundraiser thing that I realized.
              After that I started to take notice that the only people who disliked me in my circles were manlets. I got along great with everyone, but manlets and fatties would always make these e passive aggressive remarks and seemingly try to goad reactions out of me.
              I’m kind to everyone by default which is why it bothers me. These runts are the only ones putting themself in an inferior category based on height, getting sensitive and trying to attack me, which is the most ironic part about it. If I was giving them shit first okay sure but I never do.

I’m quiet introverted and keep to myself, I get shy and nervous with women from growing up fat and ugly. I understand why they’re the way they are but it still annoys me quite a lot.

    Well, I have the wit so I revel in the company of clever people. I'm also large and muscular so to try and get to me is already a rare encounter by somebody making a very active effort. I also surround myself with positive people, so I don't really have to care if somebody is making that active effort. So you wouldn't want to imitate me.

    That being said, I have to imagine to most energy efficient way to deal with people who come at you is being laconic and stoic. Read philosophy by the stoics and put it into practice and it'll come out when you're pressed if you've internalized it. You know how "come and take it" was coined by the Spartan king after a series of witty, short retorts to the Persians? It'd be shit like that. Unsolicited advice? "I only like to take advice from people I admire." Unsolicited criticism? "Clearly you don't get paid much for your critiques if you're giving them out for free." Unsolicited emotion? "You should save that emotion for someone more meaningful than me." Something that actually gets to you? Laugh and say, "You got me there." A demand (as a display of masculinity)? "I'm good." Basically, if you don't want to mince words like I do, disengage. Much like self-defense, don't look like the weakest target and/or have somebody else there on your side. If you're not me, then you're not there to work the audience and hit them with an ad hominem. You're not there to oversimplify and then call them a nerd when they elaborate. You're not there to say something interesting, wait for a reply, then ask them how they'd get b***hes with that. I like to be annoying. Just disengage.

    Usually it varies. I just tell them 'frick you' or 'get lost.' Sometimes if they're just annoying I'll just tell them 'Quit talking to me.' 'Get lost.'

    You could always do the "softer" stoic approach. Just tell them simply 'Do not disrespect me.' or 'Don't do that.'

    Moral is, don't take shit. Don't be scared.

    Act like you didn't hear them but not in an aggressive way. So "sorry, can you repeat that?" Instead of "say that again." Forcing them to repeat a joke weakens it's effectiveness, then you just smile or give a pity laugh and say "good one," or something similar.

    Act like you couldn't understand what they said and force them to repeat themselves
    Just smile and nod, give short ironic responses if you have to like "How'd you know?" "You've been spying on me?" etc.
    Then just break it off, start talking to someone else, or look at your phone, like you don't give frick about them

    if you really feel compelled to say something just say "okay". why are you wasting time and energy thinking about things like this unless these "shit-talkers" are family/close friends/gf. who gives a shit what a rando says, just say okay and move on. i'd bully the frick out of you since it seems like you make it fun and easy

    Just say semi-believable, stupid shit with a straight face while maintaining eye contact
    This is literally 70-80% of the way to being the funny guy, the rest is a stupid grin and fistbumping

    So i used to get bullied a lot, I wasnt small or anything or a nerd, I played rugby, tennis and did MMA. I just always took it like a little b***h. And it came from a abandonment wound i had, where my mind basically thought if i say something mean back to this person they will leave me just like my dad did (he died when I was a kid). So i never said anything mean because better for them to stick around and be mean than for them to leave.
    Obviously this is super toxic and self-destructive, this never happens to me now also because I think i put out a idgaf/i will kill you energy (going on 15 years of MMA now). But there were a few times in the past 2 years some people tried some shit with me, 1 guy i put in the hospital (the police classified it as self defense since he started) and the rest I either ignore, call them a homosexual/israelite and ignore or engage them and what i noticed that works to destroy someones ego for life and get them to leave you alone is call them ugly/make fun of their facial appearance and say that their breath smells.

    I was a fat moron all of my life, having to deal with these people sometimes. In high school, I just let myself get bullied, in my first job, I tried to counter argue with facts and logic, eventually learned there's two options here
    >make a completely savage joke
    >just tell the person to frick off showing you're annoyed
    This can escalate, but you shouldn't have this fear once you're a adult, it's absolutely worth the gamble of a minuscule chance of fightning than looking humiliated around people you see daily, the latter will make you depressed. If you can't come up with some savage insult in a second, which nobody does it's all preconceived, the best thing you can do is just say "frick off with this shit" or "frick you". You don't have to be reasonable with unreasonable people.

      Not directly related to fitness but because IST deals with concepts such as mogging and social dominance I think it's the most qualified board. Bare with me please.

      Ever since my teen years, I've encountered "shit-talkers". People who are quick witted and enjoy verbal confrontation. They like to use their words to flex on you and assert social dominance over you in some way.

      The thing is, there is hardly ever any substance to what they say. They just say things, and then act like they are superior. Ever since I was in middle school, it has always thrown me off.

      People will try this with me, and come at me with some baseless, stupid remark. I can see right through them. I logically know I am superior and smarter than them, but even so, you have to handle it in some way. I feel like if you don't respond, you look like a b***h to those around you.

      I have always found it difficult to handle these situations. I hear what they say, and I analyze it in a cold, clinical way. But my brain does not autofill with quick, snappy remarks to combat them with.

      How does one handle this type of person?

      You can also simply say
      >Are you okay?
      And give them a bit of a concerned look. I imagine if they kept trying after that you could just take moral high ground especially if others are watching and say something to the effect of
      >seriously what’s going on? You’re emotional but I know it’s not me you’re mad at. What’s up buddy let’s talk about it
      And then when they get wierd about it or if they keep going a simple
      >Wow, okay well I hope you work through that
      Just try and sound like you’re being genuine about it

    Deal with it with direct threats of violence, especially in front of people. "If you don't stop with your homosexual little bullshit (or you can say something like, 'snide little remarks' to keep it PG if you want) then you and I are going to have to fight." Most people are terrified of physical confrontation, which is why they attempt to gain status through verbal dominance. If you want to be even more direct, you can say that you'll beat their ass or slap them like a b***h if they continue. Then, you have to actually follow through if they do. If you don't, you're automatically the lowest person in the group.

      That’s the thing, many of these manlets have never actually been hit because they grew up as the little guy. Most people are more willing to let bullshit slide instead of harming a physically inferior individual. They will usually keep it up. They might chill for a minute but they’ll start up again, or they’ll play the victim card and say something to the effect of
      >wow you’re mentally unhinged holy shit you’re crazy you’re literally crazy idk what you’re talking about
      And try to gaslight everyone. You literally have to follow through if you do that because if you don’t they will only get worse. You also then have an obligation for the rest of the world to put these losers in their place so they’re afraid to do that shit to other people.

    As you grow wiser you will realize that retention becomes more important than conquest. Analyze what you have to gain or lose in a social situation before engaging. This advice will not help you win more social contests but it will help you lose fewer of them.

      Yep, its more about defense than offence.
      Putting out the fires that other people throw at you.
      If you constantly try to mog other guys you create a lot of enemies, that will very likely get their revenge at some point, such as by shit-talking you or socially ostracizing you. So you win short-term, but lose long-term.

    Are these just randoms and or people you interact with a lot? If it's randoms then you probably just invite it by looking like a chip on shoulder moron.

    If it's family/friend/coworker then they know your personality, so think... do they do this around everyone? Or just you? Because if they are a narcissistic douche all the time you can just ignore it. If they specifically dig into you consistently then it likely means you've done something that irritates them and they are making it clear they don't respect you. In that case you should address it, just call them out on it and ask why they act that way towards you.

    eg: "What's the deal dude? I've noticed that you're really rude and dismissive of me lately. If I did something to piss you off don't be scared to bring it up with me, your attitude is starting to get annoying and this isn't sustainable."

                Again, the goal isn't to make friends. It doesn't matter what the person thinks of you, if they have woman brain or are an insufferable homosexual. If you are forced to be around this person the only thing that matters is making interactions tolerable. Literally spell out to them what kind of behavior is acceptable and firmly reinforce it. People will take the path of least resistance to avoid confrontation, just make it easier for them to interact with you in a formal/clinical/utilitarian manner than otherwise.

                That would fit into this this category:

                Jealous hater homosexual:
                >try to make friends

                It's a shitty situation but the best is just to ignore him.
                It's a bit like arguing with the vegans on here, how they get wrecked with the arguments every day, but they still come back for more, like they want to be humiliated.

                That sounds a little different. I’m NTA but if what he’s talking about is like what I’ve experienced that shit won’t really work. It worked for you because you’re liked by others. In our case we don’t have co workers telling us people are talking shit behind our backs, we have them beating nothing or even joining in.
                I could fully understand it if I was a moody homosexual and just generally unlikable, but I focus on my work I keep to myself and I stay out of everyone’s way. Im considerate and helpful where I can be. My entire goal is to focus on myself and worry about myself because I have enough obstacles as is and don’t need social problems. And there’s always a handful of homosexuals shit talking me and convincing others I’m some weird bad guy or some crazy shit. It’s highschool tier BS but it’s difficult to ignore because it inevitably makes doing your job difficult.

                I’ve suspected it my entire life dude. I think I was caught somewhere in the middle so as a child other kids could tell I was off but couldn’t really tell if I was like the full blown autistic or moronic kids and therefor felt it was okay to exclude or harass me as just some weirdo, while taking pity on the ones who were clearly neuro divergent.
                My parents had me tested as a kid and supposedly I’m normal but I genuinely believe they chose it would be in my best interest to hide it from me, that if I knew whether I was on the spectrum it would just be an excuse for me to not try in life. I think that’s utter bullshit because here I am as an adult still moderately confused over this shit and just coming to terms it will never change.

                I do believe at this point it would do more harm than good for me to get a diagnosis though, because it would only anger me over the harassment I’ve endured by people growing up. Classmates and teachers and administrative staff alike just taking advantage of the social ineptness to bully me. Not talking out my ass or even about some wrongfully perceived Asperger shit, I was legitimately bullied by teachers as a kid. I’d rather just keep moving forward but also have people just stay the frick out of my way if they can’t treat me like a human.

                Getting a diagnosis is mostly useless unless you just want to get a script for some drugs imo, our current mental health infrastructure is a meme and a racket. My advice is figure out some strategies that help where you're having issues and consciously work on them until it becomes habitual and subconscious.

                I was never bullied but was def a weird sperg in school, I eventually forced myself to be extremely social through work and learned what I was missing. I'm still pretty aspie but you'd never know it unless you talked to my family or read my internet posts. Idk where you're at in life age/career wise but if you have the opportunity to work in a public facing job it could be a good choice since you get paid to practice your social skills, even better if it is sales... because you have reward mechanism built in where your earnings are correlated with your ability to socialize and communicate effectively and there's a shitload of educational material on it. Sales training is literally just a Machiavellian guide on how to not be autistic.

                Sales is a different environment from STEM.
                Most people in sales will have above average social skills, and job performance is literally directly dependent on flexing those social skills.
                Much different in STEM offices where status is much more tied to the work quality and productivity.

                I have an engineering degree and left STEM to go into sales. Productivity is rewarded more in commission sales than any other profession, it's almost entirely meritocratic. Produce more results = make more money. Simple as, nobody gives a shit about anything besides you producing results.

                I once tried sales with the intent of it making me better socially. I was getting better and doing well in terms of revenue and just making legit progress. They started giving me shit hours like 8 hours a week and I still managed to have numbers equal or higher than people who had 20-40 hours a week.
                The GM was a frick up who stumbled his way into the job and didn’t realize he hired me as permanent instead of seasonal and he couldn’t just fire me, so he switched my job title from sales to loss prevention. It makes no sense. This dude would jerk people off for making a measly bullshit $300 sale or selling maybe $5k in the whole week but in my 8 hours a week I was averaging $10k. I was getting better and better and getting the growth I wanted and then I was forced into a shit position as an over glorified receipt checker so my only human interaction was pissy minorities who thought I was stereotyping them. Bad shit went down at that job and I left but that’s besides the point.
                >where at life/age/career wise
                I just gave up on the field I was working towards after one day on the job because I realized it’s not for me and I actually have zero desire to put myself in it, abhorrent hours and unlivable wage, really shitty job nature. It was medical. So I’m pretty lost in life, I’ll be 27 this month. Looking to take any job atm that pays decently. Looking for something remote to get some income for now. Thinking about trying to start a few businesses and if I can grow them enough just support myself on that. One will for sure work and bring in profit but would take years before I could live off it alone. I would be happier if I owned my own businesses than working for someone else.

                A freeze response to trauma can be confused with aspergers. Going down a diagnosis route might not be such a bad thing as it seems like you are already angry over the things that have happened.
                I think a therapy would really help you and spending time with a STR worker to work on social skills and improve other areas that need improving.

                > if they are a jealous homosexual with an inferiority complex, they don't want to be your friend.
                You goal isn't to make the person your friend, it's to set a standard with them to make interactions tolerable.

                >There is a place for joking for friends, but if you do it too hard you can create enemies.

                Call me crazy but I don't insult/humiliate people I care about... you know, because I care about them... and I'm not a prick.

                See above, it’s not banter when you can’t do it back. In my experience it’s banter when it’s along the lines of calling each other a gay or a pussy. Like we all know what banter is, there’s a whole vocal tonality that implies it’s friendly and not serious. Then there’s shit like
                >passive aggressive indirect comments that everyone in the room knows could only possibly apply to you

                >reply that I’d rather do a few years of school to work towards I field I have interest in instead of working a soul crushing desk job like a slave
                >Guy gets all pissy
                >OH YEAH WELL IM DOING GREAT FOR MYSELF IM CERTAINLY DOING BETTER THAN SOMEONE WHO TAKES CLASSES AND WORKS A DEAD END JOB [my part time job that I planned to leave after school] I EVEN HAVE MY OWN APARTMENT [his mother gave him his childhood apartment and paid 50% of the rent for him] I HAD TO STRUGGLE FOR WHAT IVE ACHIEVED

                I've heard a lot of shit like that in my own friend group, and a lot of it is just insecurities on the part of both the dudes involved.
                Was mostly just dumb shit we mostly grew out of.
                You look like losers if you talk like that at age 30.

                That’s why I separated myself from that group. We’re almost 30 I don’t have room for that pathetic shit. Everything’s a pissing contest and that one guy isn’t growing out of it like the rest of us. I had to ghost them all, they were all that dudes highschool friends and so it was pretty easy for him to shit talk me and paint an innacurate picture of who I am to everyone behind my back before they really had a chance to get to know me. I feel bad for the rest of them but he didn’t really act that way towards them

          It doesn’t do anything. It’s either met with further gaslighting and the trying to save face or bullshit excuses and denial all trying to make you out to be an overly sensitive or delusional moron, and/or

          Been there, done that.
          Their jealousy and inferiority complex still rages inside them.

          they just get pissier and pissier.
          I hate how barbaric and grug brained this sounds but I’m starting to really believe in certain circumstances threats of perceived violence are the only way to deal with certain people.

            Well you can fight verbal violence with verbal violence - some of the time.
            But it's hard to defend against a woman's nagging, or a jealous homosexuals shit-talking behind your back.

      This can work sometimes.
      But some people are vengeful and hold grudges they will never let go.
      Maybe you humiliated them somehow, and in their mind you can never compensate for it until they completely dominate you, which will probably never happen.
      I have some experience with people like this, trying to turn enemies to friends, but there is no overcoming their jealousy or their inferiority complex.

        So? Who cares about "what if they think this what if they think that". Grow some nuts and self esteem. The only way you're gonna find out whats up is by engaging with this person directly. It's part of being an adult male, you're in control of your life, who you interact with, and how you interact with people. If someone is dragging you down you need to either fix it or get them to stay the frick away from you.

          (1) There are a lot of situations in life, such as school, work and family, where you are forced to interact with people you don't like.

          (2) So How to Fix It:
          Yeah you can confront them directly, but if they are a jealous homosexual with an inferiority complex, they don't want to be your friend. There is nothing you can say or do that will make them get over their inferiority complex.

          > Who cares about "what if they think this
          Because a careless insult can get a few quick laughs, but turn an enemy into a friend. Before you know it most of your friend group has grudges against you because you wanted to have a laugh at their expense.
          There is a place for joking for friends, but if you do it too hard you can create enemies.
          Maybe you haven't been in situations like that enough to know how real it is, to turn a friend to an enemy with a few humiliating words.

          >It's part of being an adult male, you're in control of your life, who you interact with, and how you interact with people.
          Enemies don't always want to become friends.
          They're out to win, not to make peace.

            You goal isn't to make the person your friend, it's to set a standard with them to make interactions tolerable.

            >There is a place for joking for friends, but if you do it too hard you can create enemies.
            No shit moron, don't disrespect people.

            Call me crazy but I don't insult/humiliate people I care about... you know, because I care about them... and I'm not a prick.

              Jealous hater homosexual:
              >try to make friends
              just makes him seethe more
              >ignore him
              results in a steady stream of passive agressive happenings that roll off pretty easily
              >humiliate him even more
              just makes things worse

              It's a shitty situation but the best is just to ignore him.
              It's a bit like arguing with the vegans on here, how they get wrecked with the arguments every day, but they still come back for more, like they want to be humiliated.

              Friends banter all the time.
              But if you do it too hard and they can't recover, it can be a bit dangerous.
              But yeah it is mostly highschool shit-talking that people grow out of.

        OK you are posting some super basic b***h stuff.
        But here's some cold truth:
        Sometimes people won't like you because of things you can't change, like:
        >you are more attractive
        >you have higher career status
        >have higher salary
        >racial envy
        Saying please, thank-you, and a compliment that a guy with poor self-esteem can't accept isn't going to fix the inferiority complex fueling their jealousy towards you.

    You need to make yourself look oblivious, as if you cant tell you're being insulted. Then you reply something harmless and boring, like this you're not even acknowledging him as a menace.
    As you get good at this you will be able to make them look like idiots from your facade.

      Anyhow, most of the time, if I'm sharing a space with them over a period of time, I just let them get comfortable, play weak and wait until they touch me.
      Another think I havent thought of is stalking them until I find the perfect place to beat them to a pulp(I should buy a bat).

    When bears fight each other, they sacrifice lethality for threatening displays. They posture up, make themselves bigger and get real loud. When they're hunting and ambushing prey, being loud and big are detrimental.
    Any insult is a test of dominance and should be shut down immediately. You can either A) Not care and brush it off, showing that you don't even consider them a threat or B) call them out on it. Which ever one best displays dominance is best.
    Some people are just better at being witty. It's a mistake to play into other peoples strengths.
    Make it known that you are past playing word games and are ready to jump straight to a physical altercation if they carry on.

    Honestly, all the shit talking, even the innocent banter, stopped once I was bigger than most. Once other people respect you they choose their words more wisely. The only thing I can think of that happened years ago was some dude at a party that said shit like "You like big but I bet you aren't strong" and I flexed a 'cep and said "Dude, I'm a beast!" and we both laughed and that was it.
