Everytime somebody says a negative thing to you, it's actually how they feel about themselves.
It says that they're unsatisfied with their own lives and is totally unrelated to you, no reflection on you whatsoever.
I wish I'd realized this sooner, because some people of the same mindset as me tend to turn things in on themselves when they're verbally attacked by other people. This is the most stupid, unproductive thing to do at all times. People love people who love themselves.
I am of course a raging hypocrite having posted countless catty comments in the horrible hair and kae up thread but in my defence that's just a tongue in cheek look at adolescene and how I looked just as ridiculous in my early teens.

not every time, just some of the time

I used to despise the word 'haters' but I don't ever want to be one.
If I see a pretty girl my automatic reaction is to give a compliment, not pick her about because I feel bad about my own flaws. Similarly if I see somebody that seems a little misguided in the fashion stakes I wouldn't dream of humiliating them to their face. It's mean and unnecessary.
I also can't bear to watch that awful you tube clip that was circulating around perez ages ago, where tara reid is outside an L.A club and isn't on the guestlist. Paris Hilton then comes swanning over smugly and walks straight in. It's soul destroying to the point of depravity and makes me thankful I'm not involved in that world.

Indeed. Also, even if what they say does say something about them, that doesn't mean it's not true about you as well.
