There are certain ideas (or formula's) in modern psychology that are thrown around in the world that give the impression that when applied to the problem you're facing it will solve it instantly. Like some one-size tactic lifehack that is guaranteed to work exactly as it's described.

1: Just ignore them.
This is a particular tactic people suggest to use if you happen to be dealing with someone who is antagonizing you (non-violently) There's many types of antagonism that you may deal with on a daily basis which experts will recommending you can simply remedy by ignoring them. I've discovered that tactic doesn't actually work. Because those types of people who bait you into a reactionary situation become more determined to antagonize you if you decide to play poker face. I don't have a solution for what actually would work in those situations. But I do know that if you force yourself not to show any reaction, they will then become more determined to get a reaction.

An exercise in futility on their part.
