It is an individual's choice what the effect of verbal bullying has.
If a verbal attack destroys you, that is your choice.

The best response to nonphysical bullying is no response. Do not engage the bully. Stay away from someone who is a bully, leave if someone is bullying you, or if you can't do either of the above then ignore the bully.
