Ten things you can do to respond to a psyche out-er:
- Smile;
- Say “thanks”;
- Shake their hand and say “I really appreciate your support”;
- Laugh and say “is that the best you can come up with?”;
- Tell them, “I am sorry. I really wasn’t listening to you”;
- Tell them an even bigger “exaggeration”;
- Walk away;
