How do you respond to someone who calls you stupid?

Question

I don't even acknowledge it. It's usually not in your best interest to engage someone like that if you're around other people who already or will eventually know you're not stupid.

However, sometimes people can really get on your nerves so the best way to respond is to make a very specific example of something stupid they've done. Which should be easy to do if your smart because everybody is stupid in some way.

I say, "Uh uh. YOU'RE stupid." That'll show 'em. 🤣

Never been called stupid, only my brother tries to annoy me sometimes by calling me silly, so he will laugh at my reactions 😄

I respond by making a silly face or I play fight with him, mostly it ends up with me having a messy hair, and shouting “Okay, I give up, let me go”. Then when he lets me go, I take a revenge, finally ending with both of us cracking up and laughing so hard we lose power in our hands.

If you don't wanna say anything, just repeat this person is stupid this person is stupid in ur head. If you wanna say something, smile and say I'm flattered, and move on to another topic. They'll get annoyed you taking their words as something so insignificant cuz they are.

It would depend the context. I'm a very sarcastic person so I would as them "how's that"? "I want to understand why I'm stupid, so could you explain it to my stupid ass". Now they're forced to explain themselves. Or they look pretty stupid not being able to explain why I'm stupid. Most people expect you to respond with hostility. And are not prepared for a debate on the matter. Nor want a long drawn out debate on the matter. Usually they just frustrated with me and walk away.

Just say ‘ahem’

‘If I was really stupid I wouldn’t be taller then you in every subject.’ (If that’s not true)
Say
‘If I was stupid I wouldn’t know what the word stupid means stupid 🤦‍♀️

If it's just lighthearted teasing then I don't mind it. But I get offended if they actually mean it like if we're in a fight.
