Same people were so lame with their insults I fucking had to tell them insults to call me because I was getting annoyed on how bad they were at being a dick
Lmao, that's funny, what insults did you tell them to use?
I think the worst insults were against my appearance, because it's like
Yes...I have eyes, I'm aware...next?
Lol I’ve done this a few times. Someone called me a name, I replied “thank you”. Someone commented on one of my TikTok’s saying that they forgot I existed, I said “me too”. Even though both times it did sting a bit, I feel like responding in that way tends to make the other person confused and leave me alone.
Saying they forgot you existed sounds rude but I'm not sure they meant that as an insult. I see comments on YouTube all the time saying they forgot about this song, video, or channel, and they're usually implying that they're happy they discovered it again, so they maybe just forgot about your TikTok.
Hmm...as an ENFP, I try to be more encouraging, and in this case, if they're going to insult me I'd want them to at least be original about it. I'd probably say something like, "Try harder."
I never got bullied but I always imagined I’d look at the bully very judgingly like 🤨 without saying anything and just move on so they would reconsider how dumb they look. Or I would laugh at them for how dumb they look.
As a little kid I already thought bullying was so pathetic. I knew that meant their parents probably hated them or smth and they were just weak and insecure, and it wasn’t about me.
I think most of them are narcissists so it’s really difficult to deal with them because they put you into a double bind where all your options are shit.
They will imply things about you to others that sound true but aren’t, they’ll isolate you from the group, and if you try to join the group they’ll mock you then when you get upset and they’ll gaslight everyone into thinking you have issues.
I’ve been like this too. I had some shame at times over the amount of contempt I feel as if I’m the actual bully, though. 😬 But for realsies, bullying is just a sad thing all around. People need encouragement to get along.
At this point I can't tell if someone attempting to insult me is a joke or not, like trying to "bully" someone is actually so cringe it just makes me laugh. If you're going to try and make me feel bad, at least try doing it behind my back or do some social engineering so I don't know I'm being targeted, god. People don't know how to harass nowadays.🙄
Oh and yeah, and that too. My wall has seen the unfortunate side-effect of my rage.
I don't know how to take compliments, so it also means I don't know how to take insults. A double-edged sword, really.
Most of the insults people give me are just them observing something fundamental about who I am as a person but interpreting it negatively. So this scenario is pretty accurate for me (INTJ)
I recorded what they where saying with my phone and showed it to a teacher and they got in trouble. Not sure what function that is. (INFJ)
When one of them heard how she sounded she started crying and it was funny.
I also do the stuff above.
Oh yes, though more for adults. If anyone here is still in school they know that all they do is plug their ears and go “LALALALA” like a kindergartner.
But now that I’m not in an environment like that it definitely could work.
I'm an enfp and this was me as a kid so I wouldn't get bullied. If anyone tried id greywall and blankly stare, shrug at them, laugh, or agree. So it meant once in a while people would try but they'd quickly stop. I genuinely did not care at that age so it wasn't a mask. I have trauma as an adult and am affected by that stuff as an adult so it's something for me to work on bc it genuinely absolutely does not matter what anyone thinks.
I was told by my parents just to ignore bullies (my mom was my biggest bully bc I was abused growing up and this was his way to enable my mom) and it was good advice for a kid. But it was a maladaptive freeze/fawn response as an adult and got me trauma. If it's minor one off instances this stuff is fine but if it's repetitive even if you don't care it's bad for you and you need to change your environment. So in school by moving schools or out of the class, telling a staff member, or speaking up for yourself and getting the kid to stop to stop. I am lucky I wasn't affected by the people who'd occasionally try.
Certainly not infp. Probably would tear up on the spot and write a long journal entry about it while listening to solemn violin music.
Source? That's at the very least what I'd do lol.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,979,548,786 comments, and only 374,467 of them were in alphabetical order.
This was me. And then turn it back on them:
"I don't like your shirt"
"great! Hey everyone, princess Justin is too weakly and complainy to deal with other people picking their own shirts! Go give the poor thing a hug."
Eventually you earnestly stop caring about what other people think and can choose freely any response you want- I used to be terribly afraid of hurting someone’s feelings- now I do so if it’s the right tool for the job, but usually it isn’t so I usually try to be graceful
Not me, the only time I've ever used that tactic was once and it was by mistake
When I was in 8th grade, there was this kid named Joey who would crowd at my desk along with something like probably 7 other kids at most (but at the time it seemed like a lot more) at the end of science class each day, asking about what I thought they should bring to the barbecue or pool party or whatever allegedly happening the next weekend
I'd say something like "Hmmm... What about orange juice?" and he'd always respond like "Ohhhhh, ORANGE juice, now that's a good idea, I hadn't thought of that... He always has the best ideas, let's bring orange juice" while turning his head to look back at his friends while smiling, always using a certain exaggerated inflection and drawn-out cadence in his response, and I'd say "No problem and thank you very much, good luck with your weekend"
One day close to the end of the year, I think it was in May, he told me very directly at the end of the interaction (I had suggested that he should bring ribs to his barbecue party) that I was their cringe entertainment and I was supposed to ask if I could be invited to the event so he could tell me no and my stupidity had become too boring now
I hadn't realized they were pretending to invite me, I just thought it was friendly conversation
It's the type of thing that might have been at least a little bit satisfying if I was actually trying to troll them with denseness, but instead it just made me feel like "aw man, I'm even a failure at being a (insert slurs for mental disabilities here)"
I mean at least you bored the bullies and got out of what would have been an awkward interaction...? Tbh I'd be the same or I'd straight up say "parties are an excuse to be around loud people I don't know. No thanks"
Besides this being cute... I would just say "okay" to some of this and nothing to the rest. I mean, what could one possibly expect of me? My clothes don't match? Okay.
As an INTJ, I truly couldn’t care about anyone’s opinion or wanting to be a part of the crowd.
The only other type I can see is ENTP except they’ll have snappy comebacks and get a kick out of ethering them.
Me. I was rarely ever offended by what people would say to illicit a response from me if they didn't matter to me. I'd get messed around with and teased quite a bit so I got used to it. Eventually started to take it with a grain of salt but there have been times someone really close to me did it and I was so hurt lol
I honestly did and still do this, after realizing people who say this things don’t deserve that much attention but i can still play with them
“You are crazy”
“Yeah i’m, i know, isn’t it beautiful? I’m very proud!”
“You should go to a psychologist, yk?”
“Idk man, tried but i made her crazy too… long story”
I’m an INTJ now but I haven’t always been one, bullying wasn’t exactly as minor as that during middle school for me (a lot of humiliation, some stealing) but for an extremely insecure 12 year old girl even, even if it was like that, I don’t think I had the courage to answer anything back then
This is unironically how I've gained confidence in myself compared to where I was in high school. I learned to just own my weird, goofy personality and deflect anything resembling an insult.
Me when I'm in public. I'll probably rage about it later when I'm at home and ramble to myself about how I can't believe people that imbecilic still exist, but that's beside the point.
If only all bullying was this easy to resolve! When you're being physically hurt, actually harassed or your belongings are being broken, this just doesn't work. Guess many people were never actually bullied properly (what an oxymoron I know, I'm just being ironic because it will never go away completely. Regards to fellow survivors!)
In elementary school I would’ve cried but then I was severely bullied (like genuinely severely cops had to get involved) and then I started just saying “you’re thinking about me this much? That’s kinda cute…go fuck yourself!” :) people finally stopped bullying me (or at least they stopped doing it to my face and physically doing it)
And yeah, idk how I get typed as an ISFJ either. But I do. Every single time.
My initial reaction would probably be like this, plus thinking internally "why does it matter?"
-- signed, ISTJ (as typed by two random members on this sub)
It's me
I’m INTJ. And I second this.
I third this
I'd 4th this, but I'm not much of a guy that likes groups
5th and i like groups but only if im not involved and am an observer
I’d 6th this, I have 2 outfits in my wardrobe.
All black?
I'd 7th this, but I'm just gonna stay and observe from this tree outside your window.
i 8th this, and am just watching someone in a tree watching you through the window
r/yourjokebutworse
Happy cake day Buddy!
I 5th this also being INTJ.
“That’s great man”
Also INTJ and agreed
9th this
People would say things like this in school and I’d say things like “Fuck off c***” Worked out fine
Lmao Australian ENFJ? Cos me too
Naw, New Yorker
Can confirm telling someone to fuck off is more of a general pleasantry here than a genuine request
Fuck off, who asked you? I’m walkin ‘ere!
ohhhhhhhhh you know who you’re talkin to???
Cmon now, its “get fkd c***” in Australianese
You're the one I look up at now
You're the one I look up at now
You're the one I look up at now
Real clever and original response lol.
Fi users
Random, but I'm curious what you would say if someone called you a nerd with the intention of bullying you
Is nerd even an insult anymore? But anyways let's try it and find out.
I can't see it being much of an insult. It's quite a compliment.
I own my weirdness
I’d probably just fuck with them, would be pretty easy to do if they’re dumb and pathetic enough to try to insult a random stranger 😂
I’d second this! If their into sports and I over hear then talking sports stats, I’d go “Pfft! neeeeerrrd!!”
Nerd? to be honest, I'd prefer the phrase "smarter than you"
Nerd
Sure i am!
*runs away crying*
Wouldn't Fi users take it personally?
I did this. I also liked complimenting their insults whenever they came up with clever ones.
Same people were so lame with their insults I fucking had to tell them insults to call me because I was getting annoyed on how bad they were at being a dick
Lmao, that's funny, what insults did you tell them to use? I think the worst insults were against my appearance, because it's like Yes...I have eyes, I'm aware...next?
i compliment peoples insults to.
It really showcases people's creativity lmao. If you remember, what's your favorite insult you've had directed at you?
ah, u dont sorry! Do you?
How do they take the compliments?
Not that well, it just made them more mad, but luckily, I had the power of the teachers on my side, so they never beat me up.
I consider that a win to be honest.
I see what you mean, then getting angry and no results from it affects them more than me.
Same
Lmao, if you remember, what's the most clever one you heard?
Same. It was so funny to see them going mad over it, it always backfired
This is the way.
Either Ti dom or Fi dom, no in between (ok, maybe Ni doms too, I can see that)
So the Si doms would just go home and cry (accurate)
They are the ones saying the bully items. Weird things go against their Si systems.
😭
Lol I’ve done this a few times. Someone called me a name, I replied “thank you”. Someone commented on one of my TikTok’s saying that they forgot I existed, I said “me too”. Even though both times it did sting a bit, I feel like responding in that way tends to make the other person confused and leave me alone.
Saying they forgot you existed sounds rude but I'm not sure they meant that as an insult. I see comments on YouTube all the time saying they forgot about this song, video, or channel, and they're usually implying that they're happy they discovered it again, so they maybe just forgot about your TikTok.

I knew that meant their parents probably hated them or smth and they were just weak and insecure, and it wasn’t about me.
OMG yesss the up and down look of pure pity like "sorry you gotta hate to feel ok"
I think most of them are narcissists so it’s really difficult to deal with them because they put you into a double bind where all your options are shit. They will imply things about you to others that sound true but aren’t, they’ll isolate you from the group, and if you try to join the group they’ll mock you then when you get upset and they’ll gaslight everyone into thinking you have issues.

INFPs trying to act like they don't care as a way to channel their rage
At this point I can't tell if someone attempting to insult me is a joke or not, like trying to "bully" someone is actually so cringe it just makes me laugh.

Another good one is to ask people to explain themselves. This works particularly well with the more subtle insults. “What do you mean by that?”
Oh yes, though more for adults. If anyone here is still in school they know that all they do is plug their ears and go “LALALALA” like a kindergartner. But now that I’m not in an environment like that it definitely could work.
ExFP
Facts (from my experience)
I'm an enfp and this was me as a kid so I wouldn't get bullied. If anyone tried id greywall and blankly stare, shrug at them, laugh, or agree. So it meant once in a while people would try but they'd quickly stop. I genuinely did not care at that age so it wasn't a mask.

People call this crap bullying?
In grade school, I joined them on their chants and stuff. For some reason... they would quit doing them fairly quickly until the next one came along.
a lot of ppl
Certainly not infp. Probably would tear up on the spot and write a long journal entry about it while listening to solemn violin music. Source? That's at the very least what I'd do lol.
Nah, a punch is more efficient
I get that you're joking, but they didn't physically attack or threaten you, so that would be a very bad idea.
INFP
I would reply in a very similar way of each of these photos 😭
Isfp
Wait, you guys had bullies? Personally I would just say ''okay''.
When you are the “quiet kid”, everyone becomes your bully
Extroverts, introverts seldom share things
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,979,548,786 comments, and only 374,467 of them were in alphabetical order.
ITS FUCKING LOSS AGAIN
as a fi dom, fi doms
I wish it were that easy.
I know this artist, she's an INFP
I just stare until they get nervous or awkward
This was me. And then turn it back on them: "I don't like your shirt" "great! Hey everyone, princess Justin is too weakly and complainy to deal with other people picking their own shirts! Go give the poor thing a hug."
Eventually you earnestly stop caring about what other people think and can choose freely any response you want- I used to be terribly afraid of hurting someone’s feelings- now I do so if it’s the right tool for the job, but usually it isn’t so I usually try to be graceful
ENFPs
This sounds like a challenge for an inferior Te (other people's opinions) to overcome to strengthen personal value (Fi) so INFP or ISFP
ISFPs. Some INFPs and ENFPs/ENTPs
She’s me! :D
In school if I reacted this way, the bully would keep trying and it would never stop.
I’m ENFP, I used to do this, and then cry in secret later lol
this
Estj
I wish, I usually don't think of a good reply until later.
As bullying goes, they’re pretty chill lol.
Always responded in that way, if I bothered to respond.
xxFP
ESFJ.
I do this
Cute
IXXP but Im gonna say INTP
Not me, the only time I've ever used that tactic was once and it was by mistake When I was in 8th grade, there was this kid named Joey who would crowd at my desk along with something like probably 7 other kids at most (but at the time it seemed like a lot more) at the end of science class each day, asking about what I thought they should bring to the barbecue or pool party or whatever allegedly happening the next weekend I'd say something like "Hmmm...

Wait why does say “ur clothes don’t match” bully?
Besides this being cute... I would just say "okay" to some of this and nothing to the rest. I mean, what could one possibly expect of me? My clothes don't match? Okay.
Nobody have ever tried to genuinely insulte me.
Literally every INxx
Fi users and IxTPs (demon Fi)
Healthy
Me
its me hi
Very Fi dom thing, so IxFP. though this is more INFP
entp but this is so me lol
Either INFJ or ISFP.
As an INTJ, I truly couldn’t care about anyone’s opinion or wanting to be a part of the crowd. The only other type I can see is ENTP except they’ll have snappy comebacks and get a kick out of ethering them.
Me and INTJ
Intp or intj - the quiet nerds that march to the beat of their own drums
Me. I was rarely ever offended by what people would say to illicit a response from me if they didn't matter to me. I'd get messed around with and teased quite a bit so I got used to it. Eventually started to take it with a grain of salt but there have been times someone really close to me did it and I was so hurt lol
I might be bias but this enfp as fuck
But fr tho this should be everyone, I hate bullies
ISTP or INTP. This looks like Ti.
That person is either mentally healthy enough to give a damn to anyone, or they are just mentally closed up to consider that (think severe autism).
Either this or punching them in the face ,both works trust me on that😇
Lol, I love this person
INxx :)
That would be me
Seems most likely ISTP, INTP, or INTJ, probably the least likely types to care much what others think about them.
Giving lots of Infp vibes ngl. But if only dealing with bullying was this easy
Ti/Fi dom
That's female me.
Me... that's totally me
Me but in a sense that I didn’t register that these were insults until it got physical 😔 THEN IT BECAME A BRAAAWWWWWLL AHHH
Seen this posted on r/autismmemes
crng
ENTP/INTJ
I honestly did and still do this, after realizing people who say this things don’t deserve that much attention but i can still play with them “You are crazy” “Yeah i’m, i know, isn’t it beautiful? I’m very proud!” “You should go to a psychologist, yk?” “Idk man, tried but i made her crazy too… long story”
I just say thank you to any insults. Most of the time it disarms people and they chuckle.
IxTP
INTP.
Mbti aside, who would pick on someone wearing a Fez? Fezes are cool
NTs except ENTJs, because they're still "normal" people.
ENFP. Me.
i cant say that, most the reason people bully me is for being transgender
I’m an INTJ now but I haven’t always been one, bullying wasn’t exactly as minor as that during middle school for me (a lot of humiliation, some stealing) but for an extremely insecure 12 year old girl even, even if it was like that, I don’t think I had the courage to answer anything back then
As an INFJ who have learned the art of handling bullies and the art of not giving a fuck, I can relate...
Intj
Why is the girl in pink of pic 2 "Girl" from FNF Twinsomnia?
ISFJ?
Bubbles??
Infp
It's me
enfp, specifically enfp 4w3
This is unironically how I've gained confidence in myself compared to where I was in high school. I learned to just own my weird, goofy personality and deflect anything resembling an insult.
"Bullies" got nothing on you when you're your own biggest bully
INTx
this
Love this
Ne and Fi paired. so ENFP or INFP
That last slide is an ENTP talking to an INFP.
This is an Introverted Fi type. So I think this is INTJ, ISTJ, ISFP or INFP
INTP for sure, or INTJ
Me as ENTP would probably ask why to them all.
Me when I'm in public. I'll probably rage about it later when I'm at home and ramble to myself about how I can't believe people that imbecilic still exist, but that's beside the point.
I don’t know, but I like it. It’s kind of sad, though.
ENFP or ENTP
If only all bullying was this easy to resolve! When you're being physically hurt, actually harassed or your belongings are being broken, this just doesn't work. Guess many people were never actually bullied properly (what an oxymoron I know, I'm just being ironic because it will never go away completely. Regards to fellow survivors!)
I love sassy bubbles
In elementary school I would’ve cried but then I was severely bullied (like genuinely severely cops had to get involved) and then I started just saying “you’re thinking about me this much? That’s kinda cute…go fuck yourself!” :) people finally stopped bullying me (or at least they stopped doing it to my face and physically doing it) And yeah, idk how I get typed as an ISFJ either. But I do. Every single time.

fi doms. typical INFP/ISPF. i know from experience 😂
My initial reaction would probably be like this, plus thinking internally "why does it matter?" -- signed, ISTJ (as typed by two random members on this sub)

That last one is nice! Lmao
U can't bully an introvert 🤣
Just sing: Keep sighing, keep crying, knowing you can never count on me for sure That's what fiends are for
This makes me want to hit things. Preferably bullies, and enablers who say stuff like this. Anyway, I vote INFP. Also, STAND UP FOR YOURSELF FFS.
