Hang in there. People can be very cruel at times. Words people say, hurt very deeply. Words hurt more than a physical action because we store these words in this great computer, God gave us, called the brain. I am here if you need someone to talk to. Don't let my username intimidate you. I am a Pastor, who was once a Biker, years ago. I have been here on DS for almost 8 yrs.

Thanks I’ll keep you in mind :)

I think people just ignore me. They just want my money. No one call or email me. Only scams or try to sell things to me.

I get a ton of scam calls, if I had a dollar for every scam call I get I’d probably have a 1/2 million at the end.

Also thank you cosmocat! I’ll try to stay strong

If you need to cry please find a place to let it out! It’s so important that you get out those feelings. But I’m sorry to hear you had such a rough day :(

People don't think before they speak, therefore, they say cruel words that hurt others feelings. When you fee the need to cry, go to the bathroom or your bedroom. Don't hold back the tears. You will feel better once you release your tears. Sorry your day was so unpleasant. Stay strong, but it is still ok to cry.

You can talk your mother she made you feel bad and express your feelings to her.

Thank you everyone for your support!

Thank you for sharing. Sometimes when we feel everyone is against us, we need a hiding place. A place away from the negativity, even if for a few minutes to recharge. I find that in God. More specifically, in noise-canceling earbuds and Christian music. In my prayer and God Bless.

Cry in the shower. No one can hear you and no one will walk in on you. Plus, you get to wash away some of those feelings. I just sit on the floor and let the water run over me, and I listen to calming music..and cry. lol.

I know what it's like to have parents who think you should always be fine -- trust me, you're stronger for accepting your emotions.

So yell back. I had a difficult critical client. After the third criticism for something misplaced, I yelled that he was f-in crazy. I screamed, he screamed back a little and then we had a reasonably good and constructive discussion. When people push, push back. I was helping my dad move and it was a difficult time. But after about the 5th time I was criticized, I came back- are you F-ing kidding, I spend 10 hours, packing, moving, taking my time out to come over, not doing my own work, and you're criticizing me, you got to be f-ing kidding.

Please do not get the impression, I am throwing F bombs on a regular basis, I had my mother-in-law in my home for three years, and my wife complimented me on my calmness and flexibility. I thought her mom was a nice lady who helped us early in our marriage and was doing the best she could and I was prepared to accomodate as I could. But no, you don't need to be depressed, and internalize unfair criticism.

Come back at mom. And if a religious leader is wrong, come back at him too. When our religious leader was wrong about something, I send an email out explaining why he was wrong to mixed reviews, but interestingly, his mother ultimately agreed with me (though she did not explicitly criticize her son.
