Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've gone through (still am at times) the same thing. And honey...it hurts whether they're drunk or not. It's a battle you want to win so badly but honestly it is un-winnable if you get low to their level every time. It's tiresome. And if you get mad enough (because us nicer ones always have the roughest side when pushed too far.... ninja ) you don't want to end up being jailed because some a*****e couldn't shut his smelly trap.
We've all felt like s**t because of something some a** has said. (or indirectly. Friggin' GD is so well known for that...) What can you do but not entertain it for too long and move on? To be very honest, someone like that isn't even worth a second of thought in your mind. The longer they stay, the more sucessful their attempt at hurting you is. I'm not saying don't defend yourself, but...sometimes it's best to let an idiot think they've won something--their own immaturity and shallow mind. And sadly, there are people like that of all ages.
Now I won't sit here and lie and say I've brushed things off. I've done a long expressive blog or five about it. But I don't let it consume my night, either. I keep the situation in mind and take from it in a way that helps me grow as a person. Sadly, we have to live and cope with people like that in society who can't even remember their moms or a children's show saying "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all..."

I'm sorry you had to be right there for that. Public moments are the ******** worst. At times I've felt like being really violent or cussing someone out because of it. I just....I just sit there and block it out or go somewhere private and allow myself to have a cry if I feel like it. But in the end, getting loud and whatnot isn't worth half the struggle. A good lot of the people that do things like that have their own inner insecurities. Alcohol tends to elevate this with some. I'm pretty rubbish at comebacks and confrontation myself, though. I always come up or think of stuff later on to say or do. I personally feel better off that way. As big and as strong as I am, I could do some damage and end up jailed... sweatdrop

You can't let the word of some jerk drunk off his a** get you down.We've all got our weaknesses. The trick in life is to not let people play on them. But seriously, if you see him again......kick him in the nuts and run!! xd

EAT HIM! scream

Seriously, that sucks. What a horrible a*****e. >_<

I wish I could say something to make it not a hurtful, unpleasant situation, but I can't. =/

I don't have an automatic answer, but I generally like the actress Nikki Blonsky's thoughts on being picked on.

She said when she was younger her grandmother told her that people who were teasing her or picking on her were doing so because they don't feel good about themselves, so she views it as "Alright, if picking on me will make you feel better, I'm glad to help you out." Not to go looking for somebody to pick on you, but when they do just remember that they're probably insecure about something they're making fun of you for.

In all honesty, I really haven't had somebody make a comment about me, at least to where I could hear it, in years. The last time I really remember was in highschool... so I haven't had to deal with it in a long time.

Admittedly, with my personality I'd have a tendency to either ignore them and make them feel stupid, and grin to myself knowing they not only made an a** of themselves in front of me, but in front of several other people, or I'd make a comment about how they only wish they could get with somebody like me, and would generally out-talk their drunk a**.

But for most people I'd reccomend ignoring them and grinning, knowing karma will catch up with them, and that in some way you helped them try and feel better about themselves. Really, the best way to get back at cruel people is with kindness and not sinking to their level.

If you want to start thinning the gene pool wouldn't you just stab him a little lower? Maybe more of a slice?

I understand what your talking about competely. Though, I get abuse even when people our sober. I also get it from all age groups. I get it from guys around my age, housewives, and really old ladies. I'm actually surprised, but middle age guys and old men love to flirt with me like nooo tomorrow. So, I guess I'm going to end up being one of those girls who marry like a man who is 20 years or older then myself.

I just try to ignore it now, because I'm too old for this crap. Though it does make you feel like crap. I'm an emotional person, so a comment or insult can stick with me for a long time. Though just ignore and is a drunk person was saying something like that to me. I would have fun with those jerks.

As a response, my ex used "Got the guts to come over here and say that? I'll open the f**king floor with your head" works a treat.

Needless to say they backed down slightly.
