what is the bust way to recover from name calling?

1. Ignore them 2. Avoid them 3. Don't insult them back under any circumstance 4. Tell an adult about it 5. Chill

The best way to recover from name calling is talking to the person directly. Asking the person why they are name calling can set them back because they may not be expecting you to comment back in anyway other than backing down. When I was younger, I experienced this on a daily basis then one day I got the advice of a teacher to speak to that person and ask them why. I took that advice and used it. The person who was name calling me didn't really have a good answer for it as if they were taken back that I actually spoke up and after that the name calling stopped. If that does not work talking to a trusted adult or friend can always do the trick. Just remember no matter what anyone says, keep your head held high and smile. Things will get better.

To recover from name calling, the best was is to turn it into a self deprecating joke. If someone ever makes fun of you turn it into a laugh so that you will end up happy.

in my opinion the best way is to work harder and prove the people who call you names wrong. They don't have the right to name call you since no one is perfect.

Have you ever heard the saying "sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me." If you have you realized someone told a fib when coming up with that one. Name calling hurts it hits your ego and kills some of the confidence you have or had. To recover from name calling I would say to look in the mirror everyday tell yourself that you are beautiful and are happy with the way you look. And when people call you names ignore them or look at them and have a bundle of confidence and say, "Well that's your opinion and I didn't need/want for it." Learn to be comfortable with yourself and let the comments or name calling roll off your shoulders. Because no matter what you will always break down when someone calls you a name or be insecure if you are not comfortable with yourself. I'm here if you need to talk or anything.

Perhaps, the best way is to realize that people who call others names do so out of insecurity about themselves.

It's not easy being in that situation to begin with, so you have every right to feel upset. try to focus on what you feel makes you a great individual and talk to people you feel comfortable with about it. You don't have to deal with it all by yourself, there's always someone to listen.

To forget it ever happened, and realize that people can say anything when they're feeling negative, anything to hurt you, break you down or make you feel less than you are. So don't give it so much importance and forget it ever happened ay?

Realise that the person doing the name-calling is only doing so out of some underlying grievance or jealousy of you or from their own underlying insecurity. Their insults are not a reflection on you. Never attach any truth to them. How one person may view you is irrelevant. It is how you define yourself that will dictate where you go in life, how you behave and ultimately how the vast, vast majority of people (who are very decent and kind) will receive you. People who throw insults and mistreat people don't reflect the attitudes of wider society. Never believe that what they are saying is shared by other people.

Thank you for reaching out! I’m really sorry to hear that you are being name-called by people. Name-calling can affect ones self-confidence and self-belief in themselves. Think about the comments that are bringing you down and think about who is saying these names to you? Are they people you know or value highly or people who are strangers? Another important factor is if these comments are being made face to face or online for you. You seem to really care how they perceive you and it’s only natural to feel disheartened and attacked when someone makes comments to demean you. Do ask yourself also who you have told about being called names? After you did talk to someone close to you about being called names how did you feel if so? Recovering from name calling may take practice at creating self-affirmations. These are statements used to encourage and motivate you and hopefully make you feel good about yourself. Write out affirmations on a sticky note and stick them places where you will see them constantly. Write things that were once or still is true to you. (Examples: I am beautiful/handsome, I am not ______.) Put it somewhere where you can read it over and over again. You know what is true and what isn't true. While names can hurt very much so it only reflects what the other person is going through in their life. Maybe they feel insecure about themselves so they try and make others feel just as low as they are. Sometimes people project their insecurities onto other people.
