This "person" Does NOT get to give verdicts on you, your life, your personality, or any of your personal traits (which are lovely and caring, the evidence of which is all over PC so there ) . They have no authority.

I am drama-averse, extremely. After many years of standing still listening to others tear me down &/or make fun of me/deride my actions, I now walk away. They are not allowed to invalidate me. Period, Their slanted and just plain ugly takes on everything from how I dress to my religious beliefs, are not valid -- because they are offered with malicious intent.

Don't let these fools penetrate your fur, Fuzzy. They do not walk in your paws, they don't see thru your kind and loving eyes. They have no grounds on which to stand.

Was hard as Hades for me to learn this: was brought up by my Southern mama to employ courtesy and politely hear everyone out, and never be rude under any circumstances. Sorry Mother, but that's a crock! There are some viewpoints and verbiage which don't deserve even that much validation. I had to learn a hard thing:
Phone call from ranting gaslighting demanding relative, and I finally for the first time ever, said: " That is simply not so, and I'm done talking to you". And hung up the phone & cried. Next time? No tears. Was very very freeing.

Boo on negativity in one's life!

Hugs to your wonderful furry self,

Chyia, not having it
