JAKARTA - Satire is insult or ridicule in the form of words aimed at other people. Usually, if someone has unpleasant feelings for another person, this will be expressed through sarcasm.

The development of social media has made it one of the places to spit satire. If you are one of those people who have been sarcastically insinuated via social media, this is a great way to deal with satire on social media.

Direct evaluation

Indeed, it must be annoying if we are insinuated via social media. When receiving innuendos on social media, try to stay calm and try to evaluate. May be annoyed, but as much as possible try to evaluate yourself. Try to think about everything carefully. It could be that what they say is true. Think positively and make satire as input so that you can become a better person.

Self control

Whatever you feel, it all depends on yourself, not other people, especially from people's posts. In addition, try to pay close attention to whether the insinuation is really aimed at you? If the person doesn't include your name in the post, it could be you who are too emotional if the insinuation is aimed at you. Try to be cool. Sometimes, being overly sensitive and overanalyzing something will only make life more difficult.

Patient

If your friend starts making satirical statuses, it's best not to rush into emotions. Better, just shut up. Remember, silence is golden. Sometimes a friend's purpose is insinuating to make you feel upset and emotional. If you take him seriously, the happier he will be. Meanwhile, if you are silent, your friend will be even more annoyed because you are not being responded to. Nothing is more annoying than being annoyed with a person and that person pretends not to know.
