Answer 1

TRY NOT TO TAKE THINGS AS PERSONAL ATTACKS. LET WORDS BE LIKE WATER ON A DUCK, AND THEY'LL ROLL RIGHT OFF!

REMEMBER ITS YOUR CHOICE HOW YOU ACCEPT THE WORDS SPOKEN TO YOU.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THE OLD SAYING: STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES, BUT WORDS WILL NEVER HURT ME!

ITS YOUR CHOICE!!!

Answer 3

sounds like u were raised in a hostle enviroment. I know cuz i was the same way bein from the ghetto then moving to a Mr. Rogers neighborhood(suburbs) people said i was to serious and got out of line when they were just joking with me. I just have a line now that people can't cross and if they cross that, its just tought S**t for them. Read between the lines and know what the persons objectives.
