Yeah, I'm really pessimistic, half the time I think someone doesn't like me when actually they're not all that bothered by me either way, I take indifference to mean they dislike me and when I actually am insulted by someone it really gets to me.

They're probably just envious of your fabulousness, Zee. Phuq 'em.

I seldom get them really, and it depends... if I'm on a night out and someone calls me fat or whatever I just call them a name back and move on from it, but if I'm sober and - for example, like the other day, suggests I'm a bad friend - I'll be pissed off.

I like to think so. :dazzler:

I'm sensitive to what I presume people are thinking about me. It's quite a talent.

This is exactly my problem!

That's got to work the other way too though. You know, people thinking positive thoughts about you. Do you pick up on that too?

hmm... I never thought of it that way. :bigsmile:

This exactly!

I tend to laugh it off.

depends who they're from

Excellent point.
You said something on those lines in another thread on this kind of topic, I really liked the strength of that idea, so much so, I have tried to take that on board and do find it works for me too.
It is a very good way both of looking at the issue and dealing with it too.

I don't get insulted in real life

..I can't recall being insulted in real life..well, not directly to me anyway...I have no idea what people say if I can't hear them...

I can't really take criticism from anyone, no matter who it's from. If someone insults me I instantly despise them and want their blood, but I get over it right afterwards and go about my day.

..at least you get over it quickly and can move on, swinearefine..that's a good thing...

I don't get insulted in real life because I'm amazing.

Insults online are just hilarious anyway so they don't bother me in the slightest.

Not really, after being picked on at school I mostly ignore then these days.

Aw Harry , you are far better than those that pick on you , good for you ignoring them.
