We like James Bond because he's so cool in intense situations. That is his power. To call up his talent at will, without letting the situation or villains rattle him.
He doesn't let his foes take away his power. And for sure, never gives away his power. So why should we give away our power to unkind, abusive, and uncouth people in our lives?
"I would never give my power away", you might say. Yet, anytime you are angry, resentful, or fearfull of a boss, friend, or lazy store clerk you are giving your power to them.
Find a phrase that you can think of that relieves your tension, before you give your power over to them. Like when Bond in From Russia with Love says to the villain, "What lunatic asylum did they get you out of?"
Don't say it aloud. Just think it to yourself and keep your power. Or just remember the words of Booker T. Washington:
"Let no man drag me down so low as to make me hate him."
