For the sake of this poll, let's assume this is a person you don't know. Or barely know. Someone who is NOT a friend or a family member. This is someone who has no relationship with you whatsoever, so they have absolutely no ground to walk on, and no justification for the insult as "I was only kidding" etc. There's no reason this person should "just be kidding" with you. They don't know you. You don't know them.

This might be a person you see at a bar. Or a party. Maybe they are a friend of a friend. A total stranger to you. A waiter at a restaurant. A cashier at a gas station.

Upon interacting with you....before any formalities or "hellos" have taken place, they skip straight into insulting you. Pointing out a physical flaw you have. A quick little jab out of nowhere.

A comment about your weight. Your height. Your nose. Your hairline. Your skin. The car you drive. Your ears. The shoes you are wearing. The way you are holding your drink in your hand. Something. Anything.

I know this poll is kinda stupid, and I know it's extremely vague....as no specific insult is given. I also know that such things don't happen very often. 99% of people are nice and non-confrontational.

But over the course of my life....it has happened. Many times. And I've seen it happen to others...many times. And it's a fascinating phenomenon. And it's so weird when trying to process how to react while still maintaining your pride, your dignity, your sanity....and maybe not escalating the situation.

And then a lot of people try to say "You just gotta have thick skin!"

But I also think the people who say such things.....just havent been properly insulted yet. LOL
