A few weeks ago, I was in a casual meet with friends and acquaintances. We were discussing how as a group we could get along better and stuff. Half way, I decide to speak up to address something.

This one girl, who I never mistreated or did anything wrong to cuts me off as I begin to speak and says:

"Tankquilizer! All that comes out of your mouth is shit so if you're going to say shit just stop!"

Honestly, I didn't feel anger, embarassment or anything. I ignored her and spoke my mind. After the meeting was over, I spoke to her privately and told her that I wouldn't tolerate her insulting me in public. She apologized and that was it.

I'm 19.

Could I have handled this better?
