I used to think I had thick skin

until I did something on accident while trying to do something else and someone made a general comment about what I did on accident and wow, it hurt. I mean like...I wasn't expecting that comment and before the comment was made I was going to fix the mistake...but now...now I don't see the point if that's how the person really feels.

and while we're at it. I'm seeing a lot of hypocritical stuff hidden behind big words.

You complain about something. I complain about something. You complain about me (though not specifically me) complaining about something. So it's okay for you but not okay for me?



I'm more hurt than disappointed, but I don't have a mood icon for it.

I know what you mean. I always act tough and shit, but the truth is shit hurts and it bothers me too. I wouldn't fix the mistake, purely because of the behavior.

1. You are a good person who tries to do the right thing (for your family, your friends, your church, fandom etc etc), but you're only human and sometimes real live human people make mistakes.

2. In my experience the people who criticize meanly and bitch are unhappy about something themselves. Happy, self-confident and secure people don't need to make others feel bad. So really you should feel sorry for these people, because they're clearly lacking something. So get this and these people in perspective and leave this/them in the rear view mirror where they belong!

3. All this is easy to say but harder to do, as I know only too well! The hardest thing for me in these situations is not accepting that you can't please everyone, it's learning how to give up feeling that I *should* be able (or at least be trying) to please everyone.

In summary, you are a great person, an asset to fandom (and the Universe!), so don't let this get you down for a moment longer. Life is too short, and you're too valuable!

Ouch. Sometimes it's the little things out of nowhere that hurt. I can definitely attest to that, from both ends. I tend to open my mouth without thinking or realizing how much it could hurt. Is there a chance the person could have done that? I'm guessing not.

Would the icon I'm using work?

What is it with this fandom and people being so rude and mean to each other?!
