My uncle is always sarcastic and sarcastic, can I talk back to him for the sake of my dignity?

Maybe when we are young, we will think that language is the most offensive thing, but you calm down and think about it, you will realize that this way really has no practical effect, just make the relationship become more rigid, and there is no way to solve the problem. Your uncle will even think from the bottom of his heart that you are just incapable of doing anything, and you will only rush to the elders, and he will even have one more charge to punish you in the future. Let's not be so reckless and give others an excuse to attack us.

I know this feeling all too well, because I am surrounded by such a group of people, the so-called relatives. In their opinion, as long as you are not a civil servant or a teacher or a doctor or any such profession, then you are not doing your job. Then they, as elders, have the right to teach you a lesson, and I can't figure out how they actually position themselves and why they feel they have this right to meddle in other people's lives. I used to be the same way, if I was being sarcastic and ironic during my time with them, I would have never hesitated to hit back at them. But I found out, the consequences of doing so, not only personally will have a bigger opinion of you, other relatives around you will think that this child has no upbringing, and people will thus talk about your parents. People won't think it's your elders who shouldn't talk about you, they think that as a junior, you shouldn't contradict adults who talk about you, no matter whether it's right or wrong.

I've adopted a silent response since those experiences, and when confronted with what life lessons he says, I usually pretend I didn't hear them, or if I did, I don't give any response. If you do that a few more times, they'll stop paying attention to you. After all, their real goal is to blow you off and show off that they know more. There are many ways to maintain our dignity, not just by being tough, but by getting better and better, so that these people will stay out of your circle and you will never hear these un-nutritious words again. We can't afford to mess with them, we choose to avoid them, it's always possible, right?
