He Revealed The Two Best Comebacks For Insults That Will Make People Instantly Regret Even Messing With You In The First Place
Have you ever gotten into a confrontation with someone that got you so heated that you couldn’t come up with a clever retort until long after the argument was over?
That can be frustrating, and you might be kicking yourself later when you think of something you should’ve said.
But don’t beat yourself up too badly. Everyone has experienced the feeling before, and besides, good comebacks are hard to think of on the spot.
A TikTok creator named Grayson (@graysonpsychology) is sharing two of the best comebacks to make people instantly regret that they insulted you in the first place.
Store these in the back of your mind to ensure that you get the last word in next time. They won’t dare to make fun of you again!
His first piece of advice is to pretend to be confused. “This works especially well when they just made a joke about you—a negative joke in a group setting,” said Grayson.
Instead of ducking your head down and shrinking away into a corner as everyone laughs, simply look at the perpetrator and act as if you don’t understand the joke.
The person will have to retell the joke to the entire group, which causes them to feel awkward and look like a jerk.
The second option Grayson recommends is to exaggerate their insult. Going on the defensive when someone insults you may be a natural instinct, but it will only make it look like what they said was true. Rather, try turning the insult into a joke of your own.

“For instance, let’s say someone super rich made a joke about you not making that much money,” said Grayson.
“You could follow that up by being like, ‘yeah, you know, it’s getting rough. I’m actually looking for a bridge to sleep under soon.'”
In the end, everyone in the group will laugh about it, and the person who initially intended to make you feel bad will seem rude and bitter.
Many TikTok users took to the comments section to share the methods they have used to successfully counter a bully’s attacks.
“Someone called me weird once so I thanked them, he said it wasn’t a compliment I said coming from you it was,” commented one user.
“I remember one time saying to someone, ‘Your unkindness is stunning.’ They were so confused and embarrassed,” wrote another.
“I read you can also ask them to repeat the joke so that everyone hears it a second time without the laughing,” added a third.
