tips for verbal confrontation

animentality:

-make sure the person you’re about to DESTROY doesn’t have a friend present. people with backup are a lot harder to argue with than people who’re alone because they’re ballsier shits when they have strength in numbers 

-make eye contact. it is intimidating and most people can’t hold it for longer than eight seconds. assert your dominance

-walk with your head held high and with a purposeful stride. people are even more intimidated by someone who looks like they know what they’re about 

-if you’ve got a tag team situation going on, make sure their friend knows that you aren’t about their nonsense either. 

-worse comes to worse, shut down the conversation. say, “now hold on a moment, let me speak….” and then turn away and leave. trust me, they’ll be so fucking tilted they’ll take a few seconds to react. 

-check your phone every so often and make it as disdainful as possible, because they’re not your main concern and are in fact, merely trifles. 

-don’t resort to name-calling, but definitely imply what you think of them if reason isn’t working. might as well get your kicks in, get their brains rolling. it’s a learning  experience for them, ok, no one’s perfect and they might as well know that someone else has a problem with their shit wonderbread personality
