Crying

Philippines
November 30, 2012 2:58am CST
I was crying last night. Someone insulted me... Let me share this. I heard something that I am worthless, I have no high-paying job like the other wives. I have nothing to be proud of as what I am hearing. I want to stand my side, I said, 'even that I have no job, I am proud to tell you that I am a decent one. I never fooled anyone and I can't do any immorality that most women are doing!'. Then, the cutting words hit like this, 'and who do you think you can be fooled! Look at your face! You don't even half as pretty as they are!'. I compose myself to not say any words at all. After they left the house, I cry to myself!

So bad of them to insult you like that!. I had insulted by my Aunt before and it was so bad but I didn't cried. I didn't let them ruin my life by insulting me. Though I didn't said anything I just keep quiet due to my respect to them as older than me. Next time ignore them. Because by entertaining their insults you give them the opportunity to be happy by insulting you and you reduce yourself to their level and that is beneath you. Or if you just can't ignore respond and put em up joke. Be aware that anger, hurt and insecurity are the roots of most insults. If we hurt someone unintentionally , they may respond with angry insults, especially if they are not very good at communicating their real wants and needs. Insecure people tend to call attention to the shortcomings of others even if untrue in order to cover up for their own perceived inadequacies it is easier that way. Don't retaliate by not taking it personally, you can just let it all slide off like water. Someone that crass will do something in the future which will give you the means to humiliate them back. Remember, revenge is a dish best served cold.

People who are telling you these things are those who either don't have anything else to do or simply are blinded with the truth about themselves. Do not get affected with all the insults that they may be throwing at you. You live your life even without them. If you allow yourself to be intimidated by them, the more they will be making you feel miserable.

I think there are some people who relief themselves of their own pain by inflicting it to some one else, like i suffer , you suffer too. besides, the only thing suffering is her, the suggestion here is to move on and ignore these sentences.

There must be some background that provoked this rather uncalled for incident. It would be nice if you could tells us more so that we can give you some sound advice if you want it.

There cannot be anything better if you have managed to sort it out on your own. You do not need to open up here now. I am happy for you.

I am fine now. I'm sorry but I need to put closure with it. But I will make a new discussion about 'what is wrong with me?' later. Thanks for giving an idea

I also had some experience of rejection, and it sucks because you feel that you’re outcast by so many people. The feeling that you don’t belong to what they have in their social statuses however, although they keep on pulling those harsh negative words towards me, I always keep in mind to ignore what they are saying and just putting up my A-game throughout my life. The best thing you could do is to prove them wrong, what’s important is the best revenge you can give is by your success and also keep in mind that the future is subjective, you never know your luck it just hit you in an instant without knowing. So, just put on a positive outlook in life and don’t mind those backstabbers, ignore them because they gain from your fear, so don’t fear them and be who you are as long as you know you are not hurting anyone.

You are very much welcome. I do believe that success is the best revenge although like what you said, revenge is not the best thing... but putting those negative experience from your endeavors can make you a stronger person. and let others prove that you are putting all your efforts on something. Cheer up!

Thank you for this heart-warming response! You are really right that success is the best revenge. Although, I am not anymore thinking of revenging still I want to be successful so they will never say anything ill to me anymore. This comment of mind is 1 week late but I really need to do this for saying thank you for the inspirational words you said.

So sad... but will you allow yourself to treat you this way? Noo.. wipe your tears, compose yourself, stand up and move on. Who cares what they say? What is important what you say about yourself? are you worthless, liar and not beautiful? Hmmm... remember.... you have the Power that no one can have... relax and take a deep breath and move on.

Hi, There are some who are really judgmental, they don't care if someone who'd hurt when they say something.Maybe, she is just insecure to you. Don't mind her. Let that negative judgments be your tool to become more productive and a better person. Don't let her interfere you to go down. And Just pray for her soul. hahahaha... And remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Stay as what you are. She just know your name not your true story.

Nice words, thank you! I like that, 'they just know my name and not my true story...'

It seems this guy needs to grow up. If he continues insulting people like this, he will soon find himself without friends. The personality is the most important, not the way one looks like. And I think you are both beautiful and have a nice personality, so you are worth friends who appreciate you as the person you are. Wish you a great life..

I am so sorry to hear that someone talked to you that way, that is awful. Those people should be ashamed of themselves nobody should treat anyone the way they treated you. I can see how they hurt your feelings, but I think they are wrong and they are mean people. You know you are a good person don't let mean people like that make you feel bad about your self.

Hello mhaiXc's unless you did something wrong or it was said out of proportion, i doubt it would have been fair for them to tell that to you. no one can dictate who you are because your the only one that controls your life. they don't understand what kind of torture you're going through in your every day life. i pity to those who don't have things to do in their lives except that tell bad things about some one else.

Well, thanks for that! I really want to put closure with this. But I'd got an idea from one mylotter to elaborate the story more so I will start a discussion again later with 'what's wrong with me?'

I start by saying that I am very sorry that you have been insulted, however you must not give importance of what others say. You're worth! This is very important! To me it still happens. I do not cry, but I must say I do not like the insults of other people. Them, before judge, should be a self-awareness. Dear friend, we have to make us strength and show other people that we are worth! Strength and courage!
• Philippines

Yeah! Strength and courage are all I need. Thank you for the response... I have worth too! Thanks for that!

I wonder why are you there in the house of the people who insulted you? I myself would cry if I were in your situation. It really hurts to be insulted. But you did a good job in not saying any words. No one should berate us a person! Being successful doesn't mean having a high paying job. I myself is a full time housewife but I don't like anyone think that I am lesser than any women who isn't working. Yes, I do experience financial difficulties but I am happy being with my family. Anyway, each person have different mindset. Let us just avoid these negative persons. We can't please everybody. When I am in not so good situation, I pray to God to make me strong.

Thanks for making me feel worthy. Yeah! God made me stronger than ever... Thanks for Him that I moved on already for that issue.

What kind of a rotten person would say that to you? I am so sorry this happened. No one deserves to be talked to like that. But I know why they said it. Because when you said "even that I have no job, I am proud to tell you that I am a decent one. I never fooled anyone and I can't do any immorality that most women are doing!" That person knew you were right. They knew that you are above question and of good, honest character. These are powerful qualities to have. This worm knows you are above them in every way. You had cornered the nasty beast. Like a little child who gets caught stealing cookies and is punished. He tells his mother the meanest thing he can to hurt her - "I hate you!" He knows it's not true but his intent is to hurt. Hurt born of fear and shame. No truth involved. That's what this creature tried to do to you. Because there was nothing else they could say. You are above reproach, in your character and demeanor. So they tried to hurt you. They fear your goodness and feel shame because they are so lacking in any goodness or honesty. A meaningless insult. A person like that does not know what beauty is. They have never met one as beautiful and good as you. And your goodness makes them fear you. Because you have nothing they can hold over your head, nothing they can incriminate you with. It's good you did not lower yourself to reply. This is not worth acknowledging. That person will receive back tenfold what they have done to you. You've done crying. Now back to your life! Smile and be strong. You have mylot behind you!

crying is good to release your pain. I can feel you. But you know you should be proud of your self cause you are a good person. as long as you know you are doing great and you are in a good side stand straight and think tall be proud of who you are. what they say or what they have said doesn't matter if you know that your a good person.

Don't just swallow every insulting words that they thrown to you... use every word to make you stronger.. not just because they say something bad you will just sit and cry.. prove them that they were wrong, not because you have no high paying job make you worthless... just do your thing with passion and also make your self look beautiful, do something for your self to relax, do everything that will make you feel beautiful, go to salon have a hair make over, do your nails etc.. remember that when you feel beautiful you will look beautiful, trust me :)

I understand what you feel, how nasty this person insulting you like that but ignore them. Nobody is perfect, so what if you don't have a high paying job as long as you are happy with your life, as long as you get your income from legal job. What the heck this person think, our physical appearance is bless from God, we can't even create it by ourself, so why mocking at other people and judge their physical appearance. Life is never flat, maybe today they are having good position and have a lot of money but nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. Money, beauty, power, is not everything, it's never truly belong to us, God can take it anytime He wants. I don't like arrogant people, and surely karma will return to them. You know when someone insulting you and make a mockery about you or your life, there is something from you that they don't have and they are too jealous from you, that's why the only to make them look better than you are is by throw an insult at you. You have your pure heart, you have your own talent.

Some people are so ignorant and rude. They only think about the money and the looks, nothing else. I don't understand why it is acceptable for some people for women to cheat around and fool people if they are beautiful and have a high-paying job. Ugh, I hate superficial and materialistic people. I know, I would cry because of something like this, so who am I to speak, but you shouldn't be sad about it, as you should not care about idiotic people's opinions. If you are a nice person, if you are trying to get a job or just feel good as a housewife and do anything, you shouldn't be ashamed of anything.
• Philippines
1 Dec 12
Yeah, I agree with you! I should not be ashamed for what I am... I am okay now and thanks for those words. You are right! Why on earth that they are so beautiful and they are using their beauty to cheat around and yet it looks cool?

Hi friend, sad to hear about this. Home makers are doing a lot of jobs, don't worry about this insult, take it as a motivation and do your work to prove your self, why are you thinking you are jobless? you are doing online jobs, you can earn a good income from it based on your activities, focus your concentration in good sites and make a good income from them. Avoid crying and start to prove your self. All the best

Be yourself. Sometimes being compared to others is so insulting. If I were you, I'll just not mind others opinion about me. They do not know me that far anyway. Every woman should be respected and treated like a queen. I adore you for handling your temper. You acted as professional anyway.

It all passed and do not feel so sad anymore. Your words just make me remember i also said some awful words to my loved girl. And now i am so sorry for my words, which left her a very bad impression. In her heart i am now an evil guy, or even a psycopath. What i am doing now is to save our friendship with all my energy. I felt the guy saying the evil words to you are also very regretful now. Because i have hated myself that i always am so implusive and do not take the result and others' feeling into account, which make me hurt them. I am now striving to make up for it. I really cannot figure out how these evil words flew out of my months when i am losing control my self, and am i real psychopath?? I know in this time, even though i say sorry to her, she will not accept it. But i will change it with what i can do. I guess your mate is also regretful for his words and trying to make up for it. I hope you can give him a piece of time to give out a reason and an opportunity to make up for you. I hope you two will be happy and she can accept my apologize one day.

Yep, words can indeed hurt. I do think by your post, you realize that you are worthy. A person's worth does not come from having a high paying job. It comes from being a good person. Your response to this person shows that you are decent person. And beauty is what shines from within. A beautiful woman may look harsh and cold because she doesn't smile. A woman who may not have such a beautiful face or figure may indeed be more beautiful as a person because of her smile and her personality. It's okay to have a cry and then, pick yourself and do something beautiful and worthy - just for yourself!

Thank you for your nice words. You are right! Beauty shines from within. I am not as pretty as them but I am proud that I am better than them in some aspects. Thanks again!
