Fighting all the negativity and rudeness is an art. You can choose either payback the rudeness or being dignified and handling situation in more sophisticated way.
Reply with "Laugh"
If you reply with laugh to rude question, then it would hurt them big time and they will remember it for long.
For Example
Q - You didn't get the job yet?
A - Laugh and say: No, Not yet.
Use phrase “I love myself & I love you too”
You can use it in only in informal situations. It would be very rare to go wrong with this one
For Example
Q - Are you taking you meals properly? You look weak.
A - I love myself and I love you too!
Just say it direct “You always have something negative to say, don’t you?”
This type of reaction can bring the spotlight direct towards the rude person. This will also help surrounding people to acknowledge the bad sheep in the group.
For Example
Q - You have a terrible voice
A - You always say something negative, don’t you?
Give them assurance that “you are right”
This type of reaction can suddenly cut the drama scene and the rude person cannot entertain himself anymore.
For Example
Q - You are getting lazy, you should go out more often.
A - You are right.

Take control by saying "That almost hurt my feelings"
By saying this, you clearly sending a message that you are the master of your feelings and you can't be easily let down.
For Example
Q - You are a disgrace.
A - That almost hurt my feelings ( with a little taunting expression )
Ask them back, what exactly is the reason to ask this type of question
This situation can suddenly change the realization of questioner to rethink about their attitude.
For Example
Q - What is always wrong with your relationships?
A - Do you really need my opinion on this?
Forcefully stopping the conversation. Period
If you sense that things are getting out of control and it could go wrong for you. Then this type of reaction can save you in a more decent way.
For Example
A- You can simply declare to change the topic or state directly that there would be no fruitful outcome of this discussion.
Tell them "That you really appreciate their concern"
This type of approach is very smart when you don't want to accept other's opinion or ideas
For Example
Q - You should also follow my technique for business
A - I really appreciate your advice but I am happy where I am now
Simple "Thank you" can turn the tables
This type of reply acts as strong wall in your defense but its hard to embed it in conversation.
For Example
Q - Why are you such a loser in life?
A - Thank you so much for worrying, but I feel just fine.
- And...
The first question, when someone asks me that why I didn't get any job yet. This really bothers me and most of the times I try to avoid answering them. Now will answer them with a laugh :D
