Hi, Is this person or persons calling you names, putting you down, making you feel bad. Or are they joking in poor taste. Some people enjoy putting others down to lift themselves up temporarily so do not fall for that. Is this going on all the time. Some people who are insecure put others down to make them feel bad and enjoy seeing that person suffer. Separate yourself from these idiots. Try dishing some out yourself and see how they handle it. Consider going and talking to a therapist to get some clarity. I used to go thru this with my father, it was awful, but thanks to therapy I learnt to recognize it in him and other people, so I could avoid them or get away from them as soon as I could. Get help, you deserve to be happy. Sending you love and hugs...... Sprinkle 1......xx

Thanks a bunch @sprinkle1 but itś actually my dad....he calls me a slut and tells me I´m ruining his life. There´s a difference between correcting me and verbal abuse, right?
