In the face of people who like to brag about themselves, I can understand your distress. But instead of intensifying conflicts with mean language, it's better to try a smarter way to deal with it.： 1. **Silent response method**: When the other party starts to show off, keep smiling politely and change the subject: "I heard that there is a very interesting club activity recently. . . "Your failure to answer the phone will make him lose the stage of the performance. 2. **Humorous resolution technique**: Exaggeratedly imitate the opponent's tone: "Wow! It turns out you are better than Einstein! "Use a sense of absurdity to make the other party consciously embarrassed. 3. **Factual verification method**: Sincerely ask: "When/where did the achievement you mentioned was achieved?" "False braggarts often reveal flaws. 4. **Anti-customer-oriented method**: Take the initiative to praise: "You know so much, can you teach me how. . . "Shift the focus to actual communication. 5. **Empathy thinking**: Low self-esteem is often hidden behind boastful behavior. Try to say: "Actually, you don't have to prove yourself so hard. We all see your advantages." Compared to sharp sarcasm, these methods can not only maintain your cultivation, but also effectively curb the opponent's ostentatious behavior. Truly powerful people don't need to prove themselves by belittling others. Your calm attitude is the best response in itself.
