Don't take myself too serious

[IrishPatrick]

Sometimes I have a hard time laughing at myself. Especially when someone else does it first.

Does it matter. As long as you don't cry and get upset over it just let it go.

I think i am the same. And it really winds me up when someone goes on to tell me not to take my self so serious. Just because they think its funny doesnt mean i do. In my mind its rude to laugh at people in their face when their hurt, humilated or vulnerable and sometimes i think its necessary to draw the line at what is acceptable to you. I got tormented about my ears quite a bit, i used to awkwardly laugh it off or make myself into more of a joke, but i become more and more conscious of them. Now i just plainly say to people 'look dont even go there' they get the hint and drop it.

Hope that helps sorry for going on a tangent

Don't let others bring you down!

When they are laughing at you they are leaving someone else alone!

Forgive them for not being the way you want them to be.

Peace!

Alun001, I found this on the internet yesterday which fits all of us.

"Don't let someone change who we are, to become what they need:"
