Re: does "just ignore it" work for most people?

[dreemyweird]

I think they're usually right - for the exact reason you've indicated. A person who tries to insult you wants to feel superior. Do not engage in the conflict unless you're sure that you can end up being the winner OR that you can show them that they're behaving like a five-year-old and that this is not the right way to handle arguments. Remaining silent/walking away is, under normal circumstances, the safest strategy to avoid being hurt/letting the conflict spiral out of control.

And honestly, if they perceive your refusal to engage as a challenge, why don't you consider it an assertion of your dominance? Sure, it may be banal, but the person who does not engage is the more mature one in 99 cases out of 100.

All of the above applies only to insignificant conflicts, of course. Sometimes people need to be called out on what they say or do. But that's the moral part of the issue, and hence a different consideration entirely.
