Maybe you folks have better ideas...

What do you do when someone dumps a steaming pile of judgment all over you, still warm from the source?

I haven't yet learned how to not care, and I'm often bad with a quick zinger of a comeback. So what I do is just kinda mope. Not optimal I suppose.

Me, I've been working on a sort of blanket "not gonna care about what some people think" attitude to help pre-protect against this sort of thing. Teaching myself that only the opinions of certain people really matter, and the rest if they don't like the way I'm living or whatever, that's a bummer but it's really not their business.

That said, it's not a perfect plan, and I do still get sulky-hurt. *hug*

Yeah, that sounds like a very sane approach. Maybe I could train myself into it...
