Ch.68 | How to overcome Insults?

The worst type of insult to a girl:

1. "You're fat." "Did you gain weight?"

2. "I swear your chest is as flat as a plank board."

3. "Are you mental?"

Well, you know what. I've experienced all of those. //flips hair// for being so damn proud of something that I shouldn't be proud of. 

Let me tell you a secret that nobody knows, not even my family does.

 I 

was 

never 

an 

optimist. 

Optimist thinks positively everyday, every hour, every minute, every second. But not me, not everybody. I'm still a normal human with my own unique quirk. 

Here's the deal, I was a pessimist when I was young; I would think the worst possible outcomes of every problem I faced, and that is a serious problem for me. And when I suddenly change the moment I moved to a new school, my family was shocked out of their minds! Till today, they still can't figure out why I changed so suddenly and drastically. I changed, or maybe in the process of changing, because I act like an optimist. I wrote this book like how an optimist would do, I act around my friends - laughing and making a lot of awkward jokes - just for the sake to change my pessimist self. Or maybe I'm just hiding my true self, idk man. But the point is, it worked. Even though sometimes these insults made me cry inside and I'm just lost. 

But here's the way. You just need to reply a 'thank you' every time someone insults you. Hard? Very. Especially if they are serious and their sudden insult made your mind went blank. It happened to me too. 

Practice is the answer, man. 

Every time someone calls you a pig, say "Thank you, usually most people call me shit, or something inhuman. This is the first time someone call me by an animal name, it felt like I levelled up. Thanks mate." Add few pats to their back and don't forget to smile, then walk away. 

When someone told you that your chest is flat, well, I don't really know what to reply. It happened to me once, Mi told her friends that my chest is flatter than hers, and I'm shook. I was stunned to reply anything and I just stared at them for good 5 minutes while they're laughing at me. At home, I cried silently. 

When someone told you that you're mental, say "Man, you need to meet my whole family. I'm the second child and my power mentality cannot be compared to theirs. Wanna join a dinner tonight and see how it goes?"

You're probably called a freak the next day. Not that I haven't. I cried too after that. 

It's really hard to overcome insults especially if you're not good with comebacks, like me. I kept forgetting what to say for being too startled, and once that moment passed I kept thinking, "Why didn't I reply like this before?"

Gosh. I still hate my stupid self. 

So. The big question: HOW TO OVERCOME INSULTS?

And the big answer is: IDK MAN. GO FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF. MEET SOME REAL OPTIMISTIC PEOPLE, MAYBE YOU CAN TRY OUT THEIR LIFESTYLE. 

Oh and if you really do meet an optimistic person, can you ask them one question for me?

"Hey your dick/ boobs is/are so small. You sure you don't need plastic surgery?"

I'm very curious of what their answer will be. 

ciao. xoxox
