Many people would tell you to ignore them but I'll open two choices for you. You can ignore them, acting like you don't care. Sooner or later, they'll leave you alone, hopefully. Or you could fight back, telling them how you feel. It's time to shine. Let them know you won't be pushed down.

Simply shut down the conversation. You don't need to take that kind of treatment. If things are really bad then you can report the person. Always shut down conversations that become sexual.

You can only be the best you that you can be, stand your ground, be honest, open, and civil. If other people behave otherwise, that is their choice; ultimately it is a choice you cannot control or take blame for. Some people are mean people: they are struggling with their own things in poor, unhealthy ways. Eventually these people will be a figment of your memories. Perseverence may be the game. If they are interfering with your day-to-day well-being and causing you ongoing anxiety, depression, or fear, it's okay to reach out to a friend, superior, or even a counsellor for help or advise.

Depends on if you're doing the right thing. If they are wrong then you should try fighting back. Stand up for yourself if it doesnt stop then just ignore them.

If it is in a work setting, tell your manager. Also, remember to not let it get to you! Know the person is wrong and most likely has no clue who you truly are!

The best solution is generally to just ignore them. Once they see you refuse to stoop to their level, they will eventually get bored and stop.

Be patient and polite, ask why they're doing so, and if they could refrain from it. If not, just clear up any misconceptions and try to ignore them.

Report them, block them, ask them to stop in a nice way. Bad mouthing may not always be the user's fault however, as some simply have been raised in such a family where activities like these become accustomed.

Don't bad mouth them back. Ignore it if you can, or confront them in a respectful manner rather than lashing out at them in the midst of anger.
