I'm sorry someone had to go and pick on you right when you needed it the least! It seems like we are alike in a lot of ways. Sometimes I feel like I have a neon sign on my forehead that says, "Pick on me! Please!" I just seem to draw those people out.
Unfortunately there seems to almost always be one of these people in a crowd. But you've got to think, man, that must really be an unhappy person. I mean, can you imagine saying something that rude to somebody? I couldn't. The thought of me inadvertently saying something hurtful to someone else would make me feel REALLY bad, much less saying it on purpose! But that's the thing, these people don't think like you and me. They go looking for someone to put down who doesn't look like they'll put up much of a fight, because this is the ONLY WAY to make their miserable selves feel better!! They should be pitied. I know that can be hard to do sometimes, but when you think of it that way, sometimes it can take away the power they have to make you feel bad.
So try to hang in there. You know from previous talks that I'm feeling a lot of the same things you are. So hey, you're in good company! LOL!
