How Can We Respond To People When They Are Rude Or Obnoxious?

It can be difficult to navigate how to respond to people when they are rude or obnoxious to us. Our inclination might be to respond harshly, but this type of response can create more drama. Often it is best to take a pause and contemplate how our response will serve us. Sometimes it is best to let things go and other times we can cultivate a response that fosters our goals. Either way, focusing on how our responses will serve us moves us away from needless drama and towards more peace and joy.
