Is there some sort of training you can undergo in order to have snappy comebacks and think off your feet? My main problem is that I'm doing a complete 180 from a social standpoint in my senior year of High School (coming from an awkward kid to an attractive artist) and faggots still want to try and keep me down (mostly popular kids who now feel threatened by me) talk shyt to me and I usually have no smart witty comeback and just get embarrassed. Preset responses to memorize don't really aren't preferred because you really can't expect when or what someone is gonna say about you. Can anyone help me out? I have a few popular friends, but I'm going to lose respect if I keep on letting these *******s walk all over me, and I've only done two days of school.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
How do you think of witty stuff to say on the fly?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
It comes naturally. When I'm pumped and I got the blood flowing through me I think of AMAZING stuff on the fly. But its mostly because i'm in the "care-free" mind-set when I'm pumped.Brighty said:
I say anything that comes to mind, I don't think about what I say, I just do it.
So yea, just relax, don't stress too much over it.
Umm, what are some things these guys say to you?
If they say it once, most likely they'll say it again or something like it again. So you can use a good response over again, just alter it abit.
lol I don't really know if I'm making sense or not, but it just comes to me when I'm relaxed and "care-free" and don't give a sh!t what others think.

there really isn't much **** talking in my life..or fighting
my opinion is..
if you are simply standing there..or sitting...and taking the ****.. of course it'll keep coming
if you are making weak come backs...of course the **** will continue to be shoveled on you
if you are making good come backs and are good at this...of course you wouldn't be asking this question
Being witty takes time and practice
And in what context is the **** coming at you from? in a group? as you're walking? in the hall?
You could come up with a one word or two word response....repetition works
perhaps you can say,"What?" and begin acting..if you make this funny..people will laugh and all that **** that was just slingshot-ed at you is now melted willy-wonka chocolate..so delicious
WHAT? (maybe even shout here)...start looking at the sky perhaps even touch the ****ters mess with them..(unless they are capable of whupping your candy ass) maybe pull out some props or something that you ahve with you and incorporate it in your act..make them look foolish without appearing too insane..
good luck

that was pretty cheesy haha, for me i'd just say give the quiet confident stare (not too long), smile and walk away, seems to work for mejeffthechef said:You could come up with a one word or two word response....repetition works

erm, but if fighting is permitted in your school and you ain't exactly build maybe you shouldn't try it lolman, these people who are chatting sh1t to you, are these just random people in your grade at school? This sh1t ain't on, it's practically bullying. I'd give up trying to come up with witty responses and physically hold your ground. If it's got to this point squaring up to the person and asking them to repeat what they said isn't out of the question.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

It's not about what you say, even in the situation you're in. I wouldn't consider myself one of those popular kids cause not a lot of people knew me in high school since I was new, but in my group of friends I'm one of the most well respected. I used to be the "pick dog" and I realized why I was constantly being the pick dog no matter which group of friends I befriended, and it was because I didn't really respect myself. I let them enter my personal space whenever they wanted and did little about it, I acted stupid sometimes in order to get their attention to try and squeeze out a laugh from them, etc.
In my group of friends we actually do have a pick dog. Now he actually does say witty things and actually does come back with good lines. However, no matter how smart his lines are, he still isn't being respected. So I don't think trying to come out with witty stuff to say on the fly is something you're looking for. Lines are just lines, they're gonna do little to help you here.
