I think when people are insulting it's a reflection on them, not on the individual being insulted. They are the ones with small minds and little understanding or compassion for others.

If I'm even wanting to waste my breath on someone who is insulting and I usually say, "well, that's your opinion and you're welcome to it." and I walk away. I also will say, "your opinion of me, is none of my business", then I'll smile and walk away...lol.

The only time I truly care what others think are those that I love and love me, or times when I'm looking for input/thoughts/ideas about something I wish to do. Other than that, I do not care what others think of me. I am not here on this earth to please everyone, it just can't be done and I'm not going to kill myself trying to do that. It took me a long time to come to that conclusion, as I used to worry what others thought all the time.

unhappyguy, remember that those of us who are "different" and don't fit into the mainstream of society are always going to be picked on/insulted in some way shape or form. It certainly does not mean that you aren't a good person, or a good member of society, just different. I for one applaud different, it's what makes the world go round!
