Here is something I learned and I promise you its very freeing. If they dont like you they can go f**k themselves. They can f**k off. Sometimes in rare circumstances you actually have to say it. Its shocking yes, but sometimes its enough to get them to stop. What other people think of me is none of my business. Never let them see you hurt.

Im not that sensitive of a person really. I try to brush things off. But... I try not to be cruel to other people so I just dont understand how other people can again and again treat me badly. People in my life say its because I let them. This is probably a bit true. I never want to hurt anyone and want to believe the best of people... but it often comes back to bite me and that just always hurts.

How can people just go out of their way to hurt others. And how can I stop it from hurting me? I do t want to be a victim. I hate being a victim. But I also do t want to be a victimizer.

Anyways... I tried to be even MORE of the things that person was making fun of for like an hour. So show that I wasnt bothered. But I was. And now I feel uncomfortavle with myself. Like maybe there really is something wrong with me.

How do you deal with people who treat you badly without letting it get you down? Ive been feeling really low lately so Im probably more vulnerable than usual... but how can I deal with this if Im afraid... always afraid..: criticisms might be true
