I want to stop feeling bad because of others

[Fish14]

Sometimes people relieve their anger by insulting me for no reason and it always makes me feel bad. It feels like I deserve it even if they're strangers and have just met me. How can I stop feeling bad because of this?

Understand that insulting people are really disappointed in themselves. They're just taking it out on you. Many times, they are jealous of you.

I'd advise trying to be around nicer people, and ignoring those that aren't so nice.

Only an ignorant person grastuitously insults other people.
If this is happening to you seek to ignore it or offer them up to God asking him to have mercy on them.

John is so right! My father was taught that blue collar workers are losers. It must have been drilled into him. Don't we need people who do all kinds of work?

"it always makes me feel bad."

"IT" doesn't do anything to you.

REACTION. The greatest threat to my emotional well-being comes not from outside, but from within. It is not what other people do or say to me that causes me pain, but the matter in which I react to what they do or say. The problem is not their action, but my reaction. I cannot control them, but I can control myself. In other words, no one can hurt me, upset me, make me sad or glad, UNLESS I LET THEM.

I'm trying to convince myself that the insults are meaningless, but it's a kind of reflex. When I'm insulted, I immediately become sadder and often depressed regardless of who said it.

I never say anything back to them and sometimes bless them a little in return, but it's still hard to ignore it.

There is little point in saying anything to them as it only feeds their agression.

Yes it is hard, all I can suggest is to pray for them.
