Rising from ridicule

image by Butterflyritsuka

My ears switched quickly to super sonic sound. As I fixed them it hit me bright as the solar system, the guy I thought I liked wasn't just making a mockery of me, or turning me into the worlds biggest comedic act, he'd taken the podium and was saying these things to set the example. Not only did I not get the confrontation I wanted, but for the rest of the year he became the invisible man. I did not see him, all I knew was that i'd hear him from time to time validating himself at my expense.

When you pick people, choose wisely. Pick someone who who would respect you and have respect for themselves. Someone who likes you for who you are, and would appreciate getting to know you exactly as you are. If there are things that frustrate them they will be honest enough to tell you about it, and not gossip or belittle you behind your back. Someone who knows there are two sides to every story and will defend you first without prosecuting because it will make them more popular with those around them. Rise from their ridicule, your worth ten of
them and deep down you know it, yet sometimes amidst all the criticisms we forget it.

Self esteem stint? Dont let the bully win

Are you on your last leg of confidence because some bully is trying to terrorise the self esteem out of you ? Do you drag your head and drag your feet at the thought of meeting new people. After all the person terrorising you thinks there's something wrong with you, what if there is? What if your some weirdo? Or you really are dumb ? Here's an answer for you. Why did that person pick you? Of all the people in the world to make themselves appear superior, they chose you by distinction. You are the standing ovation for their jokes , the reason they'll become infamous, or the way they 'll get the attention they need. It could be that your brainy or intelligent, popular, shy and mysterious. Whatever it is, with all bullies you have to take a stand and prove you won't be made to feel inferior because of their inferiority complex. Stands aren't always about physical fights or huge arguments, they can also be about focussing your energy on developing your success, and letting new positive people into your life.
