We have all been there, you are at a group hangout, maybe a work event or a casual get together, and that one person just keeps throwing shade your way. Little jabs, sarcastic comments, trying to make you the punchline in front of others. The best move? Don’t react. Don’t argue. Don’t even give it the attention they are clearly fishing for. Instead, stay cool. Stay polite. Laugh it off or change the subject. When you don’t engage, two things usually happen: They get uncomfortable because the spotlight turns on them, not you and Everyone else starts to notice who’s really being weird or rude. It’s honestly one of the classiest power moves you can make, because while they are busy trying to look clever, you are showing confidence and control without saying a word. Let your calm silence say, You are not worth the energy.
