I hate it when people say "Oops" or "Whoops" or "Got away from you, did it?" whenever I drop something or run into something.

They might as well be saying "Look how stupid you are."

Really, is it necessary to make comments or sound effects every time I act stupid? Do they think that helps?

Sorry winterglen! I'm one of the people out there who does that and says "Whoops." I didn't mean any harm whenever I did that. I sincerely thought it would make the person feel more comfortable after making a mistake in front of another person; not that I cared in the first place. I guess I was wrong. I'll try to not do that in the future.
Thanks for this!

tell me to just "get out there" and ......you'll make "friends"......Really!!!????
tell me you get "more honey with less vinegar"
tell me "well, it could be worse, or the most irritating: "well that's the way it goes...."
It just tells me, what a bother to be present...and it feels like they could care less how you are...grrrrrr

tell me or people "you've come a long way" treating it as a compliment

Excuse me, when did I seek your approval???
Plus it's so infantilizing talking to me this way. Who says I started at the very bottom?? those people who gave me this comment just happened to be the ones who had low opinions of me, and realized I could do more than they first guessed, so why should I take their blame when they couldn't assess well????
I cringe when I hear people giving this comment to others - it's so depreciating

Perhaps, the key to finding resilience to this, is to stop taking things personally. Taking things less seriously can just boost up confidence. Because do you really care about them ? Chances are you don't therefore you should care even less about their opinion.
