Learn how to deal with yourself, ONLY with yourself first.
"You can't give what you don't have," is the exact quote to learn how to assess and deal with yourself. It has nothing to do with other people's opinion yet it has something to do with your own opinion to yourself.
Some will say, "I know myself better than you know me so you have no rights to judge me". Is that so? I mean, do you really know yourself? Like, do you definitely know yourself? I don't think that you do because if yes, you shouldn't probably give anyone a chance to judge you.
Everyone has a choice. Everything is a choice. You have the choice to let them judge you and you extremely do have the choice not to let them, too. But then, you did.
A sun shines every morning without listening onto what did the clouds, the moon, and the stars said. It is the sun's choice to shine not for the ones who don't want to see it but for those who are waiting for it to shine and considering it as a beautiful morning that comes with a wonderful blessing indeed.
In other words, you should not let other people's opinion affect you. Unless, it is for your own good and growth.
So let me ask you again. Do you really know yourself?
