Ideas that have worked for me..
You could calmly say back to them..
-Wow, you are in so much pain to be acting this way.
-This is the way your parents talked to you, isn't it?
-Why are you being so intense?
-I understand you're lashing out, but I'm not the enemy...someone else is...
take this out on THEM. Cuz I don't deserve this."
Then, pivot and walk away. Very powerful stuff...mainly cuz no one else has had the guts
and calm to say much to them...it shocks them.
Meanness is a form of manipulation...but they didn't manipulate you, ha...you saw thru them.
Meanness is a scream for help.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.
