In my head I know that it has no relevance and that the other person was just lashing out because they don't know how to just admit that they were wrong. But I have a REALLY hard time letting things like that go. They completely ruin my day. They make me want to not talk to anyone (because in my state of mind, I feel like it would be better for everyone), and just stay in my house forever. Everyone just tries to cheer me up, but what I really need is to talk about what just happened. How do some of you cope and figure out how to let something go so that you can move on with your day and not let one ignorant person completely ruin your mood?
For me it is coming to grips with how I feel about myself. It's an on-going process. People who say or do mean things are revealing something about themselves. You could have replied "So you not only broke the XYZ rule; you're just plain mean. What a pity" and then walked away. I generally avoid people who are consistently mean, sneaky and under-handed. I am far less bothered by some random occurrence from someone I will likely never see again. You're welcome to come here and talk about the things that happen.
