People suck. Plain and simple. Find the rare individual who would accept you for who you are and your life is golden  |
I am kind to people who are kind to me. But if someone is mean I do the one thing they can't stand. I simply ignore them. It's more effective ignoring them. If I am mean back then I would be bringing myself down to their level.
There is another option I haven't tried yet. My Grandmother used to say kill them with kindness. It worked for her doing that to people that were mean to her. She spoiled their fun by being nice.
