I try to take the attitude of "Who cares what THEY think?" On the other hand, when I get depressed and start feeling down on myself, then I tend to start thinking like them. After all, I'm a 57-year-old woman with lots of health problems and also a MENTAL ILLNESS, for goodness sake, who lives off of social security disability. What good am I?
However, I try to do some good in this world. I'd like to hope, for example, that at least occasionally I say something here on PC that is helpful to someone else. Those kinds of things help get me through.
