How to react in a neutral manner to verbal attacks

If you're subject to verbal assault, your best option is to respond in a neutral way. Although it may seem counterproductive at first, neutral body language can help to deter your attacker. Different responses have different consequences. Here are some basic verbal strategies for self defense. Find out which strategies work best for you by reading on. We will also provide some examples of ways to respond so that the situation doesn't escalate. And remember that there is no one right answer to verbal attacks.

Principles and Imminence

Timing is a fundamental principle in self-defense. If you use defensive force prematurely or late, it could be seen as preemptive and unjustified. Only use defensive forces when they are absolutely necessary and when there is imminent danger. The imminence rule aims to ensure you use only defensive force when you are faced with a legitimate threat. But, if there is no imminent threat, you might feel frustrated or abandoned. This could result in losing the chance to use defensive forces.

Principle of Proportionality

Two fundamental tests must be met when defending an action: proportionality or necessity. While necessity is the standard that a court looks for when determining the appropriateness of a defensive action, the latter test is more flexible and less demanding. It questions whether the response to the threat is adequate and necessary to defend yourself in those situations. Kyle passed both these tests, and was therefore authorized to use force to respond to the threat.

Boring Baroque Response

Boring Baroque Response to verbal assaults has many advantages, including neutralizing hostile tones. A verbal attacker may say, "Oh, FORGET IT! NEVER MIND! SHEEESH!" You are trying to escape the situation. This simple and effective response will send your attacker away. It will also show him or herself that you are not prepared to engage in verbal aggression with them.

Patsy

In an attack, often a weaker personality will take on the role of a pacifist. One example: A weak person might comply with a boss that is psychopathic. This could prompt them into speaking out. This is a classic example for a psychopathic setting, which is illustrated by an old Latin saying. This applies especially to workplace situations, and verbal self defense.

Principle of imminence

The "Principle o' Imminence" law requirement must be fulfilled in most jurisdictions when speaking for self-defense. When the actor is unable to avoid harm, threat of force will be considered imminent. Even if an actor has other options, a threat of force is justified when the threat is imminent and the victim is likely survive.
