A lot of people in my life belittle me, call me stupid, look down on me etc. I would defend myself but eventually it became pointless because my reaction fed their egoes. Now I let them think I’m stupid so they think they have the advantage on me when the opposite is true.
I always got bullied and was told I was stupid in school but then I’d prove them wrong by getting good grades. All my life for some reason people think they’re always better than me and bc of a lack of confidence it’s not that hard I guess. It hurts a lot to be looked down upon but at the same time there is no better revenge than success. Letting people run their egoes and prove them wrong with actions has helped me gain more confidence. It’s just important to still remain modest and not flaunt your ego but most importantly not show them that they’re getting to you.
How do you react when others put you down?

I think that’s amazing you’re able to do that I’ve been always envious a bit of people who could turn insults into success because that way you never run out motivation! I’ve been insulted and judged by my family quite a lot just now I’m learning to not listen. I always internalize what other people say which sucks.
