How would you react to someone who hurt your feelings~? =)

[ZiggWheelsManning 7,359]

Sad and probably in tears  

[EpicEnergy 22,074]

I tend to suppress my emotions, so I probably would just pretend like it never happened. I know it's not healthy though so I'm trying to find other ways to cope.

[Splashee 28,537]

Intentional or not, I would be hurt. Now, the reaction depends on so many different factors.

[Evil Pink One 12,972]

Revenge...... In the trollest possible way 

[misaokuser89 135]

i either cry about it alone or troll them… or both 

[Guest]

I would be hurt, but my reaction depends on different factors. Though for some reason, everyone that I have ever argued with- we have always become friends right after

[Mirage 24,135]

I just go quiet and ignore them.

[Props Valroa 26,038]

Depends on the person. I'd either try to expose them, or ignore them.

[Cash In 21,509]

Depends on the situation. Obviously, yeah I'd be a bit sad, but I'd try to ignore it and just move on with my life.

[Ice Princess Silky 10,815]

It depends on who it is and the gravity of it. 
 

my usual reaction is to retreat and observe if the offense was intentional or holds some weird meaning. Lol

Otherwise, with close friends, I’ll just rage >:000 cause there’s that trust that the context is mutually understood 

[Longhaul 6,470]

I'd shrug it off and go about my business, but I'd break contact with the person that did it.

[Evil Pink One 12,972]

.... Id RETALIAAAAAAATEEE!!!!??

ATWAAAAAKKK!!!!!

[Last Line of Defense 97]

Idk maybe I'd throw an insecure tantrum and try projecting on them subliminally so they can feel the way I want them to look in my self reassuring, assuming, inaccurate head canon. I might just tell myself all these things are true, or maybe the insecurity of being invalidated by one person that doesn't like me, will hurt me so badly that I will have to besearch others in private to validate the secret witch hunt I'm holding against them, based off the merit of them simply not liking me

[Gone Airbourne 21,969]

Depending on how severe.

Particle beam from an orbital satellite. Or tried and true fire.

EDIT: Actually. This would be a more accurate reaction.

Well, I have no truly good answer for the original poster unfortunately, but it seems that is long past relevant anyhow.

Assuming that said person is deliberately attempting to provoke or condescend to me however, I truthfully just find it best to disengage from whichever situation you have found yourself in as quickly and gracefully as possible. Something I find as I age is how little energy I can have. I simply have none to spare agonizing over being insulted or ridiculed by one person. Entropy devours everything, including yourself and the one who insults you.

[GodlyWolf 1,678]

Well, the answer depends on the how and what that hurt your feelings initially. If it's something like the shape your in, then start working out until you look so good that they'll regret making a harassing comment about you. 

If it's them laughing at your intelligence, then out study them, until you prove your smarter than them.

If they're simply talking crap about you because your better at something than them, then hold your head high and laugh at them because you Cleary don't need them in your life. That shows that they feel threatened.

They're always answers to every situation. You just need to stop and think about what it is and why they hurt your feelings in the first place. 

There's never a right reason to do so.

[Clawdeen 12,109]

It depends on the context. If it was an accident or something minor I might feel a bit upset or angry but I’d get over it.Especially if I know they didn’t mean to hurt my feelings.  If it’s really rude and intentional than I’ll be angry and rude back. 

[Twitchy-Tremor 281]

Depends on the situation but I’d try to see it from where they are usaly (the walk in their shoes type thing) or just cry… I could be mad but I’d probably forgive them…. 

[Ryuuko 146]

i'm not the type of girl to really draw attention to myself, or parade my opinions/views to whoever would listen. there has to be some sort of mutual dialogue first - like through a public forum such as MLPF. i guess it doesn't have to be explicitly said, but i do try to be friendly and polite with anyone i meet. Well, unless they're noted dickheads of the sort - in which case, all bets are off.

so, if someone made an attempt on my feelings, i'd immediately recognize it as targeted and malicious. i take care to avoid stepping on toes, though it's not always possible because, at some point, you'll have an opinion (no matter how well-informed) that will diametrically oppose another's. no matter how well you present that opinion, the content will ensure you'll offend this hypothetical other.

but, i digress. everyone has their views and may feel strongly enough about them to warrant firing back at things they perceive as incorrect. it doesn't automatically mean they're out to hurt your feelings - in this case, they only get hurt as collateral. in my experience, people who have tried hurting my feelings have legit been some of the trashiest people i've had the misfortune of meeting.

[ComanderZhabikKlavik 931]

It's almost impossible to hurt my feelings, but if it happens, then I get angry.

I don't make a big show of it either (which is why I'll drop in every so often) and am always courteous, but as was mentioned, it depends on context, intent, and your reaction. 

It's hard to get me worked up; if it's not, it's sure as hell getting there. If someone makes a comment about, for instance, my weight, they probably don't mean it. I might laugh it off. But if it's intentional, their attempt is getting laughed off before they get schooled/trolled.

It depends so much on the person and situation. How I react to a complete stranger making me upset will be way different than say a good friend making me upset. And even those two situations will vary depending on what it was that upset me, or even my mood if we're talking about a complete stranger.

Generally if a friend made me upset I'd tell them that straight up, "Hey you said xyz and it kinda upset me because zyx.". Usually we talk it out, apologize and that's that. If it's something really egregious it can be more tense but generally that doesn't happen. There's only ever been one time I fully cut contact with someone because they said something that really upset me.

If it's a stranger I'll probably let it slide. I'm never seeing them again, if they're so petty and pathetic that they're insulting people they don't know I want nothing to do with them. But again, depends on what made me upset.

[Evil Pink One 12,972]

Oh? Someone wants to become my friend? Oh the regrets you will have.
