I suggest telling yourself that what the person is calling you is not true and that is doe not define you!

Remind yourself of all the positives that you know you are, that they're ignoring to hurt you. Also remember that you have to be a really unhappy/jealous person to be nasty to someone. You're always going to be better than them.

you shouldn´t do the same! The best way is to talk somebody who is able to stop that or the simpliest way is to talk with the person alone and ask them why he or she is calling you names. When you are strong enough you can also ignore the shoutings and just be nice to them. They will fell bad and stop everything.

When people call us names, or say hurtful things to us this can be very upsetting. If you are in a position to let the person know that these words are hurtful and to stop, or that just because they say these words doesn't make them true, this could be an empowering step. If you are not in a position to do this, recognising that just because someone says something nasty doesn't mean it is true. Remind yourself of all the wonderful things about you. Spend time with people who care about you, appreciate you and love you.

Do you believe the names they're calling you? My family calls me nasty names all the time and I always have to remind myself that they are not right. If they are then I think about it as an opportunity to grow.

The best way to get over someone calling you a nasty name is to get up every morning look at youself in the mirror and tell yourself your beautiful, strong, and worth it. (Even if you don't believe it right now, you will eventually trick yourself into believing it.)

Ignore them. They are just doing it to make themselves feel better. Laugh along with them and the names they are calling you, and just ignore the actual meaning. You can always ignore something someone says, and just walk away. If it is getting to you, seek help from someone, or even confront the person if it is safe to do so.

First of all you need to let them know that you aren't appreciating the names you're being called. If the bullying continues you need to try and ignore those calling you things. Seeing you sad probably just triggers them in keep pushing and even though it's so wrong that you should be doing the sacrifice of "just taking it" it's normally the most effective way. If you're at school talk to your welfare officer and at work talk to HR

Thinking that they mean nothing on you, and your personality is worth more than a person name calling.

If you are struggling in a situation where someone is calling you nasty, hurtful, or rude names, I believe the best way to cope with it is talking to a close friend. Talking to someone trusted is a great way to get your feelings out, and, believe me, you will feel much better in the long run. After reaching out, you may even feel worse for a bit, but after it will be worth it 100%

Personally I don't think there is really any best way to get over someone calling you nasty names. The only thing that I have found to work is rise above. They want to call you names fine...just as long as you know who you truly are, and what you are made of and what you can become.

By ignoring them and walking away, as soon as they lose pleasure in doing what they do it will usually stop. If this doesn't work however you can always talk to someone about it and see what you can do about it together. A problem shared is a problem halved.

I found that finishing college has significantly thinned the herd of people who are able to penetrate my bubble so to speak and actually affect me. But, it has taken a lot of discipline. It still gets to me when someone is being actively hostile, but I've learned to only let a few people who I really respect and admire or who are close like a sibling have the power to affect my emotions like that. I had a roommate who would go on tirades to me all the time, but I didn't respect him and I actively did my best to not get on the defensive and take pride in the fact that I did not participate and give it back. Generally if you have something to lose, don't respond to something that comes from a feeling with a strong feeling.. in my experience that can cause you all kinds of trouble whether that be an email, text, a petty squabble that doesn't need to go that far, etc. Just keep working on the things that you value in a person and try to emulate those things in yourself until eventually it is your default mode. You'll be really happy with yourself when you reach that point; I promise.

I think the best thing you can do is to realise that the nasty things aren't true. If you have a good group of friends they will support you and help you through this

Genuinely smile at him or her and say thank you. Eventually the person will feel ashamed of their actions.

If you don"t take that "gift", than that "gift" stays for person who insulted you. Simple as that :)
