How do you handle being told no, being disagreed with or someone being rude to you
Yesterday I was with my mother buying pizza. We were waiting for about 20 minutes and our pizza wasn't done (usually takes 5 mins). I went up the the counter and asked, when our pizza will be done. I got the reply "when it's done my man". Sort of a rude reply but I basically shyed away. When others asked, they almost got their pizza immediately (I don't know how long they waited, but still)
Got me thinking about all the times people say no to me, disagree with me or are rude to me, I sort of shy away. What's the best way to handle these three situations
Basically social situations where you are told things you don't want to hear or aren't in agreement with you.
Example of being told no:
Do you have <insert product> here at a store and instead of getting a reply like, "sorry we don't", you get a reply like "no". I feel awkward when I just get a "no" answer.
Example of disagreement:
In an assignment group (group of people you don't really know), you discuss something that you want to put into the end report but they disagree with what you want to put into the report.
Example of being rude:
Pizza example above
Even when my girlfriend's sisters make fun of me. They aren't being mean, just playful, I don't really know them well enough but I don't know how to react to that. I just smile and stay quiet.
Tryna ease myself out of being a Beta and become more stern and have a voice/say in things instead of being quiet.

- Being told no/being rejected (not by a girl, just in general)
- Being disagreed with
- Someone being rude to you
