There are some people in my university who are jealous of me and whenever I do some message, they reply me with messages that have that sarcasm that look funny and insulting and I don't have any comebacks for them. They also get more reaction and when I do msgs, more people gather and intensify hate. I want to have comebacks but I don't know how to.

There's thing thing called L'esprit_de_l'escalier where you think of the witty response too late. The thing is, those situations tend to pop up again, and if you've practiced it in your mind, you'll be ready next time.

I have a deep back-catalogue explicitly for this purpose.
