I say negative comments and mean things don't affect me. I tell people I don't care what others think. And that's true... At least until what they say reflects how I feel about myself. If I don't believe what you say, I can brush it off, but the moment you say something that I agree with about my body or my personality or my habits, it hits me pretty hard. It's easy to brush off something you don't believe, but getting comments about something I already feel and worry about just solidifies it and in a way justifies it in my mind. And I hate it. I wish I could change it. I honestly don't care what others think. I care what I think. You're just confirmation of what I believe is wrong with me.
