Seems like to "me" that words are being used as weapons a lot more than need be. I have been told to give as I get , well what a vicious cycle that becomes. I wear my heart on my sleeve, I am injured easily, yes a wounded gazelle if you will, however I have rethought the entire situation,and I now realize ,opinions only affect me if I let them , and ususally folks with harmful opinions dont get much of my attention anyway. I will say this, people are new to these places and they look to you for support and guidance, and if somone asks you please be kind enough to lead them in the right direction. Peace and harmony folks.....

They had enough of your attention to feel the need to start two threads on this.

True, glad you won't be affected by negative comments (as you see it) again.

Aw! But I love harmful opinions, so long as they're justified. Hell, while I'm fond of empathy and believe in good spirit, I'm still about honesty. An honesty which seems to really hurt many.

My idea is that we let things get to us. We judge them. We let the good points change us. We grow.

Like, if someone calls you fat? Think about it. Is your weight healthy; if it isn't, are you able to fix it? Then by all means, fix it! If it isn't healthy but you can't fix it, then, meh, just acknowledge that. No reason to be hurt by any of it, even if that's the speaker's intent.

If something's true, suck it up and work with it. If it's not, you can laugh, ignore it, or tease the person who said it (I'm typically fond of the final option, though it can be a bit time consuming). Or, of course, you can just be hurt about it for no reason.

Ah wells. I'm ranting, and I'm going to be late for dinner. Still, in short, think about things in an honest light. If they hurt you, don't run from that.. that'll crush you. Learn and improve. But if they don't have a reason, then just know them as noise: meaningless signals. (Signals, in this case, being words.)
