If someone tries to provoke you ,don’t react,They feed on your reaction, not your words, Every eye roll, every raised voice is a small victory for them,Instead, pause for a second, Breathe, Look through them, not at them,That confuses their mind more than any argument, In psychology, it’s called emotional detachment: power without participation. Let them burn for a reaction you’ll never give,Stay calm.It hurts louder than anger.
