You can’t control what people say about you but you can control how you react. So let them talk, keep your head held high and know that you are the better person! Now that is being in control!
It’s not always easy to stay in control of both your words and your emotions when someone is shouting at your are saying things about you which aren’t true. However it can sometimes help they calm down quicker and reassess their reaction, if they realise you are not going to get dragged into a slagging match with them…after all it could just be the person was just looking for an argument!
So be the bigger person, stay calm and stay in control of your emotions and your reaction.
