Don't let negative people be important in your life. If they aren't important enough, whatever they say doesn't matter to you.

I would simply ignore they. People like that only say those things to make you mad. If you ignore them they'll get bored and leave you alone.

I think the best way to get over someone saying horrible things to you is that what they say doesn't matter! You know that you are a good person, and so do your family and friends and that is all the really matters! Don't let the haters get to you! Your amazing in every way!

The person who called you a nasty name has broken a rule that you can still choose to follow. They judged a person before walking a mile in their shoes. For the sake of your own peace of mind, you can consider that the aggressor might have struggles in their own life which negatively affects their outlook. Being sympathetic to others who may be having a tough go of it is a good exercise in humanity. Sure, it might be beneficial to ask yourself if you had any hand in a negative interaction, but keep your self esteem up and try to understand your fellow man.

In most situations, the best way to get over it is to ignore it. When you ignore it, the people who are calling you these things will notice that you no longer pay attention to them. They'll then know that their opinions don't matter to you, and eventually should stop.

Ask the person to stop in a polite way and tell her/him that it hurts your feelings. If that person keeps calling you nasty names, stop the connection. No one deserves to feel inferior.

Remember to love yourself, and that you are perfect and beautiful. No one can make you feel small unless you believe you are. Most likely, they say it because you intimidate them, so they have to make themselves feel good

Try your best to avoid them. If you're being bullied in school, report it immediately. If you're being bullied at work, report it as soon as you have a break. The most effective way, is to do your best in avoiding them. If they call you nasty names, and accidentally say something, just follow up with "sure." And just walk away.

Rise above it. Fake it until you make it - don't show them that you are hurt. They are just looking at your flaws and anything they can find they will pick on, take it with a pinch of salt. They are probably feeling either jealous or just crap about themselves.

I have had to deal with this a lot when I was in high school mostly (and even in my adulthood). One thing that helped me was understanding and knowing myself. If you have a clear understanding of yourself, other people comments and thoughts about you become secondary. Now as an adult I learned to ignor them. Someone also gave me some advice which I will share "people will talk about you, blame you for things, etc. no matter if it's true or not, so you minds well continue to focus on you and try to ignor them. What I took from that person is that people will always have their OWN reasons for not liking you, calling you names, and being mean, but that's them defining themselves. Why others call you names and how negative they feel about you is their problem not yours!

You could appropriate those nasty names and make fun about it you know, if those nasty names are supposed to hurt you but instead you're making fun of those names... It won't be humiliating anymore. Otherwise, just ignore them.

I don't know if it is the best way, but not letting yourself be down because of it is a good one, showing that you behave superiorly by resisting the temptation of calling back nasty names. This discourages future similar unconfortable situations.

If someone is calling you nasty names and it's affecting you badly, talk to someone like a parent or (If you go to school) a counselor. They will help you feel better and get the person calling you rude things to stop.

Ignore the name callers and talk to someone who will listen and care how this affects you and can give suggestions to you for resources to assist you.

To know that you do not deserve that. To know that the person calling you nasty names is a nasty person themselves. They might have a reason for acting like this. But you don't have anything to do with that. You're better than that, know that!

Nasty names hurt and we tend to remember the negative far more than the positive. However there are more positive things about you than negative, and the nasty things people say are more a reflection of them rather than you.
