what should be the appropriate response when you're being insulted?
i had dinner with my ex-colleague and ex-boss last week. all of us are working at different places now; my ex-colleague at a hotel chain.
Scene 01:
so the conversation was about Bali. He recommended that i go to Bali and stay at this nice hotel and he offered some discounts. my ex-boss interjected, saying to my ex-colleague 'she can't afford that, no no no, why don't you stay at this very nice bed & breakfast instead?' i was taken aback and didn't know how to respond and just smiled instead.
Scene 02:
i was showing my ex-boss a photo of my canvas painting from my cellphone without letting him know beforehand that was my artwork. he later asked if that was my painting. i said yes, and he said oh no wonder it's horrendous!
i can't help but feel hurt, i haven't spoken to him since and am not sure how to react the next time i see him. i want him to be tactful in saying stuff..but not sure how
Being taken aback was good. Then follow it up by asking for the info from the ex-colleague.
for the second, a big, fakey smile, and, voice driping with honey, "Why, THANK you!"
Stop being hurt; he's a boor.
You can't change him, but you can let him know, in subtle and polite ways, that you find this or that remark rude.
Read some Miss Manners books for more ideas.
