Limit the people with whom you share these confrontations with to your closest friends. You don't want to tell any mutual friends or anyone who may disclose what you've said about them to the rude person. You may even accidentally offend someone who is friends with the rude person. No one likes knowing that they are being spoken about behind their back, and your gossiping would only give them a legitimate reason to act rude towards you in person as well as retaliate with gossip of their own. Do not create more fuel to worsen the situation.Even when you talk about the situation to your friends, avoid exaggerating past the actual circumstances to turn the rude person into an evil caricature. You are understandably upset about the situation, but that also doesn't justify saying things that are untrue and potentially damaging to a person, and mean-spirited words like that can end up causing more unintentional harm in the future.Instead, describe what happened, what rude action(s) the person said to you, and your reactions to them. Let your friends chime in with their reactions. Talk about the situation for emotional catharsis -- you want to let such an emotionally strenuous event off your back -- but then move on to something else.
