Mental Toughness or standing up for yourself?

[gav]

When people say things that are negative about me or my family, I do not take it personally. I don't think i even take it at all because i just don't care.

Is this a good thing (because i've heard it's great to have mental toughness) or should i stand up for myself if confronted just for the sake of it (even though it will never bother me)?

You got the right idea... f*ck em... but if it becomes nothing more than constant babble, filling your ears, I'd nip it in the butt, just verbally, execute them, so they'll think twice before attempting to say it agian.

Depends how bad is it.
Have you felt like doing something about it?

Do just like you feel.
Mental toughness is good but there are limits.


Don't show any respect to those who don't respect you.

Yes, i've thought about doing something about it because i feel like it's going to spread...I see others attempting to tease me more and more to see what they can get away with. I just feel there's something inherently wrong with others 'teasing' me...or trying to at least

It used to happen to me all the time till I grew a back bone and told one of the constant a--holes.

" Dude don't be angry at me... I told you it would hurt when you grab your ankles..." I said this out loud, gave him a smirk, and then walked away. He was shocked and embarassed. His girlfriend came over afterwards and congrats me because she said "Her boyfriend was an fuKER who needs some one to shut him up."

Remember whatever you say... Say it with extreme Confidence... Almost ****iness... Never look or feel meek. Be the Man... not better Be the POOK

Well, when people do that.. I play it out smooth and I talk trash in equal terms (if they make fun of my race or my family) - if they come back with something even more f--ed up. I repeat with extra hurting stuff. Let your anger out - holding it back in//revenging later = Wussy way out.
