I just act like it doesn’t effect me. I just keep telling myself that I’m doing all I can do, I have no power over how people react to me. I only have power over how I act and react in situations. If you don’t let people know how much it actually gets to you, and eventually actually don’t care, then you have taken all of their power out of the situation. Eventually if you ignore it enough, it will go away. Or, if it gets to bad, confront their pathetic *****. Talking bad about people is just a way for them to feel better about themselves, it has nothing to do with you. - written 3 years ago
I agree. Make new friends, do new things, work on yourself. You never need to fit in, but you need to be happy with yourself, and don’t let that happiness ever depend on other people. - written 3 years ago
My best friend laughs sometimes when really bad things happen, or if someone tells her bad news. Like she doesn’t mean to, but she can’t help it, it’s just how she deals with it, and it sounds like you’re the same. It’s not a big thing. I laugh whenever anything is awkward, like not on purpose. It’s bad sometimes, but still, it just happens. - written 3 years ago
