Someone told me to kill myself twice today, I don't know why it's been bothering me

RE: Someone told me to kill myself twice today, I don't know why it's been bothering me
PP, I'm afraid you need to grow thicker skin. The bottom line is that YOU are in charge of your own mind, you're own feelings. It needs to be that way. If your happiness can be dictated by others, you are screwed. It's natural to feel some disappointment when other people don't like you or (more likely) don't like you at a specific moment (just because your joke sucked), you need to put it in perspective.

You recently posted about anti LGBT laws in US states so I'll assume you are American. Let's look at US Presidential election history. I believe the most lopsided election in terms of popular vote was the 1964 election between Lyndon Johnson and Barry Goldwater. Johnson got 61.1% while Goldwater got 38.5%. That's the biggest popular vote margin in history. Yet Goldwater got more than 1 out 3 people's vote. Stop and think about that. Even the guy who won the highest percentage of popular votes in history won less than 2 out of 3 people's vote.

The moral of the story here is that you cannot possibly please everybody. Even if you are extremely popular, you will still not be liked by at LEAST a third of the population - at least in specific ways. If you go through life dependent on everybody approving of you, you're in for a rough ride - because NOBODY gets that. Do your best to get approval from YOU. Be open to constructive criticism from others because that can help you improve yourself but don't give dickweeds the time of day. Any asshole can spout hatred at you because they disagree with what you said or are just assholes in general. It should not influence how you feel about yourself. Stand proud.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
