Sticks and stones...

I'm being yelled at on a daily basis. I'm just a weird one, with odd clothes. I never fit in. I am myself! And I already know people are going to hate me for it when I step out my front door... and I simply don't care :) Because I'm happy.

Hi cyberfluf! I have mine own method of shielding myself form name throwing. I am convinced that those who sling names and the like do so because they have lost the 'battle' or argument they are trying to fight. I have been called things on here but have never taken offence because when it reaches that point the person doing it has 'lost points' with me and I have no wish to pursue whatever was the cause in question. This has caused great friendships to form though because most usually raise their own tone when the other person does. I don't A youth called me 'an old lady from Italy' when I caught him cheating and he thought I would fly off the handle. I didn't. I started a discussion about the incident whih was and still is a huge success Offline I had one unpleasant experience of being bullied at school but over the years I have watched other similar situations and fear that those doing the bullying, especially as children, are crying out for help. I very often offer it.

i do try to act as if i dont care but in reality i am very sensitive and comments from my friends and family does hurt me.you are right,the stones and sticks will break my bones immediately but even the hurting comments do break but over a period of time.

Hi Cyberfluf!I've had so much negative experiences of that type it has made my emotional amour almost indestructible lol, with that in mind it helped me to sharpen my intellect to a sharp enough edge to cut anyone down to size! In a way it's a pro-active defense mechanism! Because of all that, I never try to score points by putting someone down or by being nasty - it's just not nice!! I can ignore most hurtful comments - but there are a few that find the small spaces in my amour!

well for my case , nothing breaks me now . because im already broken into pieces. actually i m broken from childhood, thnax to my mom , she made me shatter into thousand pieces so know nothing breaks me. instead now i can break people by power and also by words, but i don't do that bad thing often , after all things like such can hurt people a lot.
