Very good of you, Soul Flowers43! I hope you can get over these bad feelings.

I think a lot of people will work so hard to criticize people that they'll even have to resort to half-lies, or anything they can think of. I think one reason why some people can simply clear through this criticism is because there are at least just as many people backing them up and saying good things about them. So, it probably has to do with self-esteem.
