I haven't been reacting so much when someone close to me always say things about me which is not true. I deny them all because I don't do it. I know I have made mistakes but I believe I deserved a second chance. I changed. But why is he still say rude things about me? That I am a like this and like that. I hope you get what I mean. I just cried. It is very painful to hear it from someone close to your heart.

Sometimes, we have to deal with these names calling partly because of the error we did. However, there are also times when ignoring what has been said are no longer good enough because it causes us pain and it gives a blow to our self-esteem. During these times, it is good to talk to the person who has said rude things to you. Be firm that you do not want to here those hurtful words. Although you are sorry for the things you've done in the past, you're already paying for those mistakes and his/her words are not making things any better.

You are right. I'm very hurt when I heard from the person who is close to me saying rude things. I can't take what the person said that is why I just cried. I talked to him. At first there was really a very hot argument. But later on we both forgave each other.

We all make mistakes it's human to do so. Also don't look upon them as mistakes but as a life experience. It's easy to point at others but this is not the way. Stick to yourself. I think it's already a lot of if you learn from what went wrong and what worked for you. There is no need for you to be a sheep in the cattle or to be exactly the way others are or others like you to be. Also there is no need to explain or deny whatever you did. You are an invidual and remember that those who point at you, those who are throwing the first stone are seldom free of quilt or mistakes and surely not the most adorable, social or loveable persons there are! Go your way, be who you are, stick to yourself and find new friends who appreciate and respect you the way you are. Don't waste energy on people who are not worth it.

Thank you WakeUpKitty. I want to work on myself in order for me to prove the things which they think that I am not. If they can't forgive me of what I have done in the past, it is not my problem anymore and I will not force them to believe me.

To be honest, I don't get what you mean to say. If you're calling him someone closed to your heart, my question was why he made story behind you and were sure that he was the one who attached to you. You should make your mind up. To be honest, I don't want to have a friend like him and as hard as I could avoid to befriend with him.

I think it is just because he is very angry at me because of I made things which I didn't consulted him first. I hope you get it now. Really now I am having a hard time dealing with his difficult-to-handle personality.

I think I know what you mean. Hmmm... If you can confront him with his actuations towards you and settle things in a civil manner... you can do this for the sake of your peace of mind for him to stop and let go. Sometimes, being good enough is not really good enough! We should not let others to step on us and do nothing. Life is tough... and living is tougher! We should not allow someone to make us cry! In your case, be brave to face that guy! Kick his a**! So what if you're this and that... do he care?! You should learn to forget him. He's no worth the fact that he makes you cry! Get up and pick your pieces cearn! There's time for everyone. Maybe yours is yet to come! Cheer up! Life has more to offer! ... mingle with worthy people here on MyLot friend... you can count on us baby!

Thank you Lhenni my friend! I like what you said here. Yes, I have to get up! I really don't like somebody trying to pull me down. I faced him bravely and reason out my side.

The mistakes made in the past makes it hard for him to believe you today. You should find out if he trusts you anymore. Ask him and be prepared if the answer is not what you want to hear. If he doesn't, ask him is there anything you could do to change that and really listen to the answer. You've already said that it wasn't true. What else can you do? Did he agree to give you a second chance? I know you believe you deserve a second chance, but does he? Don't just pretend everything is alright. Problems don't go away because you don't talk about them.

I admit I had mistakes. Very bad mistakes. I always ask him if he trusts me. But the answer is not convincing. He says he does. I'm not sure if he really does. I don't let this problem to pass, that is why we need to talk. I still have to set a date where and when.
