I’m currently reading two kind of advices from the internet on how to handle provocation:
1) If someone provokes you verbally or through body language, one says that you need to show everyone around that you have a baseline and that you respect yourself and to do so, you need to talk back.
2) If someone provokes you, they want to anger you, do not respond and give them what they want i.e. dont react.
Im more inclined towards number 1. If you dont react, wouldnt that person and everyone watching would think I am a pushover?

depends on the situation
there is no single answer thatll work the best every time
I don’t think you owe this person a defense of your honor. Someone can’t put you on the spot and be entitled to a response from you. Someone who acts like that…you probably don’t especially care what they think of you anyway. I say ignore them.
