Was reading an interpretation of the book DSM-5: if you have to respond to a people with toxic personality, what is the proper way of not getting yourself hurt? Just respond, DO not react.

Since respond is just talking.
React is emoting, showing emotions.

It's like the suggestion in some SCI-FI novels, when engaging with higher level aliens, do not react 🚫👽
