(((((fuzzy)))) the key is not believe the mean words said and to not absorb them into your being. Deflect them off yourself.... they are meaningless, unfounded, unsubstantiated words that don't stick if you don't let them. These people in your life who put you down only do so to feel more empowered themselves, because they feel inferior and lowly in some way. And they are absolutely 100% correct! They ARE inferior and lowly. Strong, good natured, good-hearted people do not need to put others down to feel more important or better about themselves. Only weak, mean-hearted, bad people do this. And that is exactly what these people are... WEAK and mean-hearted. So please view them this way and don't allow their cruelty to be absorbed. I know, easier said than done, but it's all BS.. you are so much better than that. These people don't even deserve you in their lives. And you are not weak just because you're sensitive.
