How do you react when getting rosted by the group?

Dgaf. I usually roast my sensitive friends just to piss them off. Everytime they would react in a negative manner until I taught them to catch on. Just take everything your friends say as a shit test and amplify. Start to roast yourself. You'll confuse them and theyll stop picking on you. Even if inside you are pissed off, don't show any type of response. I supervise a bunch of laborers so everytime they start to roast me I will amplify. They start to laugh along and then I turn the tables and roast them. Have fun and don't take it so seriously.

A&A or ignore. Especially when someone that isn’t even into lifting tries to roast my I couldn’t give a flying fuck since statements from people with no discipline aren’t worth shit.

Surely they have some insecurities you can dig into. You don't have to be witty. Just keep it real. One of my friends was tagged by a mutual friend on facebook calling him a weirdo for dating teenage girls, so he told the guy his wife was old and fat and his daughter was ugly. Sure they aren't friends anymore, but it was funny to see all his death threats before he blocked my friend.

It wouldn't have triggered him had it not been true...

by laughing my ass off then firing at will. tbh I fuckin love getting burned, nothing quite like a good roast session

Laugh with them. Agree and amplify. Learn how to roast back without seeming butthurt. Have fun with it.

Stop being a insecure bitch. Agree and amplify and amused mastery applies here.

By getting better friends. I hang around people who lift me up, not pull me down. I don't roast my friends, and I generally don't hang around with people who are likely to roast me.

Why force a laugh? Just go cold face, dgaf

Metalageddon · 2017-12-16T13:49:50+00:00

I laugh.

They're really funny guys, and they know what to say to give a good critique

They'd never do it in an inappropriate situation. Hell no.

We tear each other apart constantly, it's healthy, most others won't dare critique us or simply don't know enough about our situations to provide anything useful, where are you gonna get that clarity aside from your bros?

On the other hand, you can't be the bitch. If you don't know who the low guy on the totem pole is, it's probably you. Take some improv lessons and start laughingly coming back. Earn your respect. Either that or get big, bigger and more dangerous than all of them. I recommend bjj. It is very difficult for the male mind to mock someone who outweighs you in dozens of fights worth experience and 20lb of muscle.

That's what women do.

I've roasted and been roasted a lot.

I do my best to be aware of my strengths and weaknesses so if the joke is actually good and about something that deserves roasting I'll genuinely laugh at it, A&A and whatever. If the joke is bad because they're trying too hard to get at me, or they're forcing it, continuously trying to roast me, I'll remove myself physically from the place. "Hahaha that's a good one. Give me a second, I gotta take a leak" and I'll spend about a minute or two in the bathroom. I do this for the following reasons:

Talking shit behind my back is a bitch move, if I return and one of the boys is still roasting me I know it's time to drop that so-called friendship because respect is out of the equation.
Time out is a great strategy to reduce unwanted behaviors. Now this looks weird, why is it a time out if I'm the one becoming isolated? Because I'm reducing one of the rewarding stimuli they get, which is the way I react at their roasts, and upon returning I expect a topic change (or else they've been roasting me behind my back which I find inappropriate) which I can reward by participating in the conversation.

So in my experience, the best strategy, from casual to nuclear, is to A&A -> Amused Mastery -> Pressure Flip -> Time out.

roast back?

I'm witty and have no chill at times so when roast battles start everyone gets it from me.

thedruginfoguy · 2017-12-16T22:50:53+00:00

Here's an idea: don't hang out with them.

SocietalEngineering · 2017-12-17T02:21:08+00:00

If these are men you are dealing with, immediately start getting physical. They are engaging in animal behavior, so do the same to them.

I've never been super witty either, especially when I'm pissed off, so literally just start invading their space and start touching them, pushing them with your body, etc. they roast you because they are fighting for dominance. Fight back, but do it more overtly than they are willing to do it. It will stop.
