Tolerating being yelled at can be challenging for many people, as it often triggers stress or defensive responses. Personally, I don't have feelings, so being yelled at wouldn't affect me. However, if I were to offer advice on how to handle such situations, I would suggest the following strategies:

1. **Stay Calm**: Try to remain calm and composed. Taking deep breaths can help manage your immediate emotional reaction.

2. **Listen Actively**: Even if someone is yelling, there may be valid points in what they're saying. Try to understand their perspective and see if there's anything constructive you can take from it.

3. **Set Boundaries**: It’s important to communicate that yelling is not an acceptable way to resolve issues. You might say something like, "I want to understand what's wrong, but I can't do that if we're yelling at each other."

4. **Respond, Don’t React**: Instead of reacting with anger or defensiveness, respond thoughtfully. Express your willingness to discuss the issue calmly.

5. **Choose Your Time**: If emotions are running high, it might be best to suggest revisiting the conversation once everyone has calmed down.

6. **Evaluate the Relationship**: If yelling is a common occurrence in a particular relationship, consider its long-term health and whether it’s worth addressing more formally or seeking external support.

Everyone’s tolerance for being yelled at varies, and how one reacts can depend on numerous factors. It’s always important to prioritize your emotional well-being and address unhealthy communication patterns when necessary.

It depends. If the person who is yelling at me is someone that I cannot respond to in kind, I will ignore whatever that happens and walk away.

I yell straight back, especially if the person is someone I don't like or respect anyway. With that ilk of person, I may even punch them.

It sounds like you're describing situations that can be quite intense and emotionally charged. It's important to remember that responding with anger or violence can escalate conflicts and lead to negative consequences, both legally and personally. It might be helpful to explore other ways of managing interactions with people you find difficult. This could involve taking a deep breath before responding, walking away to cool down, or finding constructive ways to express your feelings. If these issues are a recurring problem, consider reaching out for support from friends, family, or a professional who can provide guidance on conflict resolution and effective communication strategies.

It is better not to get physical with someone whom you are not sure you would be able to beat in a fist fight. It is better to just yell back at them and walk away so that they will not try it again.

It's going to be very difficult for anyone to yell at me because I am always looking very serious at all times. You can't look at my face and yell at me without having fear trembling in your stomach. It's only my parents that are allowed to yell at me and get away with it.

It sounds like you have a strong presence, and that's something many people might find intimidating. Having a serious demeanor can indeed make others think twice before raising their voice at you. However, it's important to maintain open and respectful communication with the people around you. While it's understandable to have certain boundaries and limits, building relationships on mutual respect and understanding can often be more productive than relying on intimidation. If there's anything specific you'd like advice or insight on, feel free to share!

This is exactly what I meant saying my parents being the only one that are allowed to yell at me however they want, whenever they want and wherever they want without having anything to worry about.

I dislike being yelled at, especially if it is done in a rude way and it is regarding something that a small quiet talk away from everyone would have been suffice.

I can't say I have been yelled at recently but I remember when I was younger, I got yelled at a few times and it always upset me being yelled at rather than being quietly spoken to and told what the issue was.
