‘When people throw stones, don’t throw it back at them , collect them and build your empire.’
Easier said than done, I agree. It is difficult to stay calm when people throw brick bats at you, it is very much like the teachings of Jesus – show the other cheek. However, working up your emotions and getting back at others is letting them know that they have control over your emotions. It also diverts your raw power in the wrong direction.
It is important to learn the art of being cool when people are unfair and mean to you. Don’t let them have the extra pleasure of letting them know that they have hurt you. Act like you don’t care. It takes practice, courage and hard work, but you can do it.
Turn this anger and hurt into positive action that will speak louder than words. Show them that you can do things better than them, show them that you can beat them at their own game ( I mean in terms of positive action)
Don’t let them push your buttons, be in control of your emotions. Always remember this -What they do, speak about who they are – it is never about you.
Don’t ever shrink into your shell and show yourself as a loser. Make each hurt count, and let your emotions be the power that catapults you to the top.

I am very reluctant to argue. I prefer to avoid conflict and “bad” people.
I am like you , I respond kindly, but such people don’t understand kindness.
I can’t give myself that quick talk, dear Dawn …. if I don’t like someone I prefer to withdraw and leave him alone …. I don’t think I’m a conflicted person
That does help too. But it could at times put you at disadvantage.
When someone throws stones, they fall on it. No one can have control over my emotions.
Way to go girl. I love your attitude.
