'you're a bit of a loner aren't you"- better a loner than a follower
"do you have any friends"- you're my friend
or just karate chop
"do you have any friends"- you're my friend

not actually Fiona Apple
"do you have any friends"- you're my friend
Or you could say "hey wait, are you saying you're not my friend?"That'll make him feel like crap.
Yeah, wanna be my imaginary friend?
Yeah, want some?
Not so good with those, hope others may help? Depends what is said too, if it's completely off the mark or a possible trigger.. sometimes it might be best to shrug off or turn it into a joke, sometimes it may be best to explore what this was about, especially if it's a person you need to live or work with.. (some good advice for this in the book Dealing with Difficult People)
Good points about kindness and such.
An ex-roommate said to me, 'How can one quarrel with you? You just turn it into a laugh and laugh about it..' (it was really a trial with her sometimes though lol! and my parents know better anyway.. he he.. but I never wanted to quarrel much with people I lived with lol)
Waitresses or such may have good comebacks too. And a comeback can be friendly and playful too.. Probably works best then (?)

sharpens knifeI know this is a bit pathetic :lol: , but would you feel a bit more confident if you had some comebacks prepared, or some kind of template on how to act.
If someone insults me, I get v anxious and my brain stops working - probably couldn't tell you my name.
Anyone got any ideas for:
'you're a bit of a loner aren't you" psycos dont have freinds
"do you have any friends" are you deaf didnt you hear what i just said
or a straight forward insult - is it just best to smile and ignore?
