When Someone Insults You: Should You Ignore It or Answer Back?

There are some people who suffer twice. First, because life has already tested them deeply. Second, because the world looks at their strength and assumes they cannot be hurt. They are misunderstood, mocked, judged, and sometimes even ganged up on. Their silence is called arrogance. Their pain is called drama. Their depth is called overthinking. And because they do not always know how to translate their soul into words, people make their own version of them. So when someone insults you, what should you do? Ignore it? Answer back? Stay silent? Fight? Krishna’s answer is not weak silence. It is conscious strength.

Do not let insult become your identity
