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.

First off, why is someone else telling you what that person thinks?

Second, who is that other person to judge you? Do they matter in your daily life? Why do you care what their opinion about that matter is?

Third, is there someone you can ask for reassurance from about that issue?

This isn't about you, it's about the person who told you, and the person who said it to them. Really. It is.

I don't know why I care -- I just do. I care about what *perfect strangers* think of me, even. It doesn't make sense, I know...
