When someone hurts your feelings, what should you do? Tell them? Ignore it? or come back with some sort of "retort"? I'm never sure how to respond. I try to ask questions to find out why they feel that way, but usually I am so surprised that I can't do anything at the exact moment.
Yesterday was one of those days, one of those comments, and it came from a "friend." I had just been to a movie with this "friend" and she text me, and when I opened it she said, "You are so mean; you hate everyone." How do you respond to that?
I responded with "What makes you say that?" Her response was, "Everyone thinks that." I asked her who thought that and where was this remark coming from. She said it would take too long to explain, but she would talk to me soon. (She left it at that)
My youngest son says I have control issues. My husband "implies" I can't do anything right. And now, from a friend I'm mean and hate everyone? I don't know. I must be a horrible person, but I don't see any of that. I try to be kind to everyone. I have no control over anything-sometimes not even my body functions. I don't hate anyone. And, I know of a lot of things I can do right. So, where do I go from here?
