InkyHi Hey Its Jess,
Usually when people don’t think much of us AND let us know it, it’s because they are jealous of our ambitions. Meaning, their worst fear is that you (YOU!) succeed.
You upstart, your mere presence, optimism and plans irritate them!
The thing to say to yourself when they drive you crazy is “So What?”
They insult you: “So what?”
They roll their eyes at you: “So what?”
They mention famous person doing the exact same thing you are and how anyone or no one can do it: “So what?”
Say this to yourself enough times and they will get angry/frustrated and finally (eventually) give up on making you feel bad when they see you remain happily unfazed.
Good Luck!
Inky
