I feel sad when people say bad things about me. It's alright if it is coming from my friends. But when it's coming from other people who I dont know, I get mad. Know why? Because they dont have the right to say those things. They are not me, and they don't know me. So why should they say mean stuff? What do you think is their problem?

if they say that to you face to face,maybe they care about you,and maybe they are not intentional.i have that kind of experience,from somone who i dont really know very much.i got mad when he said that,but when i calm down,i admit,what he had said,is sort of right. now i am learning not to care about other people's opinion on me(except those useful and meaningful),just leave them behind me.that will feel better.

Sometimes, when I know that there is something wrong, I change it, but sometimes, they just make up things just for fun.

Awww. If you think your attitude is alright, don't change it. Being the way you are is the best thing. Don't change for others. If they don't accept you, then let them go. They don't deserve you. Anyway, I wish I were as tough as you. You seem so strong.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me!' Ever hear that saying? It's a handy bit of bravado but, the truth is, words do hurt - sometimes as badly as sticks and stones. Unfortunately, there are more people with cruel things to say than there are minutes in a day. If I devote all my time to trying to figure out why they say the things they say, I'd have no time left over for my own psyche. So, instead of worrying about their unhappy childhoods or whatever makes them so mean, I focus on my own self-improvement plan. As long as I am confident and at peace with my person progress, it doesn't really matter what they say. The most they can get out of me is compassion - what a shame that they don't know the real me! For every person that says that I am a spoiled b*tch, I can find 3 people who think that I am a sweetheart. Hey, they have a right to their opinion. Just don't make their opinion your fact. Remember, opinions are like a**holes, everybody has one and they're not all sweet!

Yeah. I know I can't please everybody. And I know some are just mean. But sometimes, It hurts when my friends and I know that it is not true. They are just making it up.

if they are just making things up that are not true then just ignore it if its true things , maybe then you have to deal with it , internally while you lie awake at night

If someone that I don't know say bad things about me, that is the least of my concerns because I don't worry about what other people think about me.
