How do confident people take being called "ugly" heaps?!?!?

Question

How do they not take it on board?...I just don't get it

Answer 1

That's me. That's who Iam. I brag and joke about me being ugly to my friends, and they said that's what they liked about me. I'm not easily irritated or anything.  I accept that I am ugly though of course it hurts, I just laugh it all out. There are times when I totally accept and don't mind it, and there are also times I regret being myself. I may be a kind person as they say, but that's not the first thing people look at when they see you=P

many people tease me and I don't fight back, I ride and laugh along with them. it's hard to fight back though you want to because the MORE that they will tease you. If other people have REALLY offended me, I just ignore them.

It's all about handling situations and acceptance I guess. After all there's nothing I can do about it:)

Answer 2

Hi there, a big part of being confident i think is not be concerned with the opinions of others.  This can be developed if you are willing to work at it.

I have a website that is all about this that you might find useful.

'Ugly' can mean they way you look or who you are.  People that call other people 'ugly' may look nice on the outside but have ugly hearts. It's never easy to be called names or have bullies pick on you but just remember if they do this then they are the ones that lack confidence in themselves.  Be true to yourself and ride it out.  Just remember that bullies will pick on anyone that they get a reaction from for being, short, tall, freckled, fat, skinny, dumb, smart, ugly, pretty, big nose, fair skinned, anything because they are the ones with a problem.  If it gets too bad you should report it to your teacher, parent, school principal.  My daughters' school has a 'no bully' policy and it's dealt with very severely.  I hate bullies, they are little people with bigger problems.

Answer 4

They just know and realize that it's not true. They don't let it affect their mood one bit. I kinda admire those people.

I was never able to take that myself. At some point I started thinking that I really was ugly.

Answer 5

They do take it on board, and it probably hurts, they don't show it.

Look at it this way, we are living in a Society that likes to pull people down. It's wrong. Like the Middle Ages all over again.

People should be appreciated for their personalities anyway.

It's messed up if you ask me. I'm not surprised people are going Mental.

Answer 7

What kind of person calls another person "ugly?"  Not someone I would want to associate with, even if I wasn't the object of their scorn, because there's obviously something wrong with them.  I wouldn't consider their opinions of anything -- certainly not of me -- because they've shown that they have serious issues.

Answer 8

A confident person is sure that he or she is not ugly in the first place and anybody that would think that must be blind and/or deranged.  So being called ugly has no affect at all on us.  We know we're s**y.
