Chapter 204 In the face of revealing the shortcoming, we will retaliate

You are enthusiastically telling your friend how you caught two big fish from a pond.But your wife interjects, "Listen to him! He's been fishing for two days and he hasn't seen a single fish! That fish was bought for money!" You are bragging to your new girlfriend: "I recently acted in a play, this is the first time I have directed independently, the story is very exciting, and it will definitely be a hit after the show." A friend walked by: "Hey, I am not afraid of Northwest fans. Tongue! Girl, don't listen to his nonsense, he is not a director, it's just a scene record!"

You are helping your colleague to repair the computer: "The reason may be the system, or there may be a virus..." At this time, your relative came over: "Hey, he can only disassemble parts. My computer the day before yesterday was not repaired. He was able to play games on the Internet before, let him fix it, and he can only play the games that come with the system!" Sometimes your wife, friends, and relatives will expose your "shortcomings" jokingly, which makes you a little embarrassed.You want to acquiesce but feel useless, want to retaliate but feel wronged.

How to get out of the predicament?You might as well use humorous language and funny expressions to dilute this embarrassing situation and enliven the atmosphere. You can follow what your wife said, "Yes, I threw five yuan into the pond, and the two fish automatically ran into my net bag!" You can also follow up with your friend and say, "What's the matter with the diary? World-renowned directors have to do the diary first. If you don't believe me, ask Akira Kurosawa!" You can also say to your relatives: "Every computer has different problems. If you can't fix yours, it doesn't mean that yours can't be fixed!"

Obviously, trying to change the situation is more proactive than keeping silent, but one thing should be clear: those who "reveal" are usually your relatives and friends, you can't use angry words to fight back, and humorous ridicule is the best way. When dealing with "exposed short", pay special attention to: One is to try not to suspect others of ulterior motives.If we're hypersensitive, trying to figure out the subtext, the overtones, of every other person's words, we're looking for trouble. Because on many occasions, the other party often blurts out or improvises a joke without thinking that it will hurt you.Those who don't know are not exaggerated, why bother to be suspicious!

The second is not to retort.Some people can't listen to the "serious words" and often sneer back like a cannonball, often provoking verbal swords and breaking good relationships. Generally speaking, people who make jokes often lose face if they get serious in return.Therefore, we can't lose a friend for Jieduan, or even leave the impression of being narrow-minded. The third is to deal with it calmly.When encountering someone who "exposes shortcomings", if you are extremely shy, unable to keep silent normally, and unable to change the situation tactfully, so that you lose your composure, then you will appear a bit "stingy".It is the best policy to maintain a calm demeanor, temporarily put aside "exposing the shortcomings", look for other topics, or light a cigarette, pick up a cup of tea, and move on to other things.

The fourth is to pay back with humor.The best way to deal with others who attack with ulterior motives is to be quick-witted and have a sense of humor. A writer has just published a novel and it's getting a lot of praise.Another writer didn't think so, and ran to him and asked him, "This book is not bad, who wrote it for you?" He replied, "Oh, thank you for your compliment, but who read it for you? " Humorous retaliation is also a way to deal with those who "expose the shortcomings".
