Sometimes, it's always good to remind yourself that even when someone is rude to you, trying to put you down, you DON'T have to retaliate. Not because you are speechless and hurt from the rudeness that the person directed at you, but because you will not sink so low like that person. Just because the person is trying to make you feel inferior, doesn't mean you have to act as though you are really inferior to that person. You do not have to act as ugly and rude as the person to prove that you are better, because you ARE better when you don't fall for the bait and sink as low as that person.
But DAMN. Sometimes, I just feel like retaliating, because seriously, I don't like to be regarded as a retard. But of course, I have more dignity than to bite back at you like the sad, lonely and insecure person that you are.
