  • What? OMG. what happened to you? runaway! cry! do something! when did you stop caring? something like that. they probably didn't expect you to not care anymore. people put down others because it makes them feel better about themselves. when you show that you don't care, they have no power over you anymore. they can say whatever they want, but they can't make you feel as bad as they feel about themselves because you just don't care anymore.
  • Sweetie, why do you care what they think? They are just trying to make you feel insecure about the lovely and interesting person you are because they know that, in the long run, they cannot ever measure up to the person you are. Ignore them, they are not worth losing sleep over.
  • Hey! I did that once! Feels good doesn't it? It really turned things around for me and hopefully it will for you too. I don't know what they thought so I can't answer your question, but I will give you a pat on the back. It takes a lot to learn to stand up for yourself, but every time you do it it gets easier and easier. Keep your head held high and don't let anyone bring you down. :D
  • Your reaction was the best in that case. Their intentions were to provoke a negative response from you. They intended to cause emotional harm and it did not work. Acknowledging their attack with an eye roll effectively tossed the gauntlet back into their lap with an expressed 'ha, not even worth the effort'. I'm sure they were left appropriately stunned.
  • Way to go Smiley! I was a target for much of my childhood, and I wish I'd done something like that.
  • You suprised them by not caring.Good for you!Confidence is great,isn't it?
  • Who cares what they thought. You tossed off their influence on you. Way to go.
