When you are under verbal attack, it is best to respond neutrally. Although it may seem counterproductive at first, neutral body language can help to deter your attacker. Different responses can lead to different results. Here are some basic verbal strategies for self defense. Read on to find out which ones will work for you. A few examples of possible responses will be provided to help you avoid exacerbating the situation. Remember that verbal attacks can be handled in many ways.

Principles of Imminence

Timing is the most important principle of self-defense. You could be considered preemptive or unjustified if you use defensive force too quickly or too late. Only use defensive force when it is absolutely necessary and in the event of imminent attack. The imminence standard aims to ensure that you only use defensive force if you are facing a genuine 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

There are two fundamental test that must be met in a defensive action: necessity and proportionality. Although necessity is what a court considers when deciding the appropriateness or ineffectiveness of a defensive measure, the latter test is more flexible. It questions whether the response to the threat is adequate and necessary to defend yourself in those situations. Kyle passed both of these tests so he was entitled to use physical force as a response to 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 but effective response will send your attacker running and will show them that you are not ready to engage in verbal violence.


Patsy

Sometimes, a weaker personality will play the part of a patsy in an assault. One example: A weak person might comply with a boss that is psychopathic. This could prompt them into speaking out. This is a classic example for a psychopathic setting, which is illustrated by an old Latin saying. This is especially true in workplace settings, where verbal self-defense is important.

Principle of Imminence

The "Principle o' Imminence" law requirement must be fulfilled in most jurisdictions when speaking for self-defense. An actor can't avoid harm so a threat of force becomes imminent in most cases. Even if the actor has options to avoid harm, force can be justified if the threat to life is imminent and the victim is likely not to die.
