I find it very difficult to deal with it in a way that makes me feel good about myself.... It seems like a no-win situation. If I get mad- it's like they've won. If I get even, I feel guilty.

There have been a few times that I've got even in sneaky ways, but then I'm always on the lookout for their retaliation.

If I don't do anything, then I feel like a sap who doesn't stand up for himself. And I'm afraid I'm setting myself up for more of the same.

Does anyone else ever think about these issues?

Do you feel the need to resolve the situation, or do you just forget about it soon afterward?

I am very bad. I don't think about it inasmuch as I might react with a few choice perjoratives. I cannot be hurt by a stranger simply because I don't know them and don't care what they say but on the flip side of that coin I can be hurt by loved ones and more inclined to sit down and talk about what's bothering them.

Hang in there!
