When you are under verbal attack, it is best to respond neutrally. Even though it may seem counterproductive to do so, neutral body language is a good way to deter the attacker. Different responses have different implications. Here are some basic verbal self defense strategies. Learn more to determine which strategies will work best for your situation. To avoid further aggravating the situation, we'll provide examples of some possible responses. And remember that there is no one right answer to verbal attacks.
Principles of Imminence
Timing is fundamental to self-defense. If you use defensive force too soon or too late, you may be construed as preemptive or unjustified. Only use defensive force when it is absolutely necessary and in the event of imminent attack. You can only use defensive force when there is a serious threat. However, if an attack is not imminent, you may be frustrated or abandoned, resulting in a lost opportunity to use defensive force.
Principle of Proportionality
Two fundamental tests must be met when defending an action: proportionality or necessity. The court will look for necessity when deciding whether a defensive action is appropriate. However, the second test is flexible and less demanding. It questions whether the response to the threat is adequate and necessary to defend yourself in those situations. Kyle met these two tests and was therefore able to use physical force against the threat.
Boring Baroque Response
Boring Baroque Response to verbal assaults has many advantages, including neutralizing hostile tones. A verbal attacker may say, "Oh, FORGET IT! Never mind! SHEEESH!" as a way out of the situation. This simple yet effective response will get your attacker moving and show that you don't want to engage with verbal violence.
Patsy
A weaker personality may often play the role of a patsy during an attack. One example is that a weak person may agree with a boss who has a psychopathic personality, which might prompt them to speak up. This is a classic example of a psychopathic environment, characterized by an old Latin quote. This quote also applies to verbal self defense, particularly in workplace settings.
Principle of Imminence
The "Principle to Imminence" in the context of verbal defense is a legal requirement that must always be observed in most jurisdictions. A threat of force is considered imminent in most cases if the actor cannot avoid harm. Even if an actor has other options, a threat of force is justified when the threat is imminent and the victim is likely survive.
