Dealing with Hurtful Comments about Traumatic Events

2 things: 1) Arm yourself with knowledge, & 2) Know & trust yourself, & realize that most negativity people spew usually has nothing to do with U & everything to do with them, how they see the world, their ignorance(i.e., lack of knowledge), how they view others, & how they see & feel about themselves. Make yourself impervious to bullying by knowing that U know yourself way better than what anyone else may think of you or any trauma or other situation U’ve been through in life. They weren’t there, they aren’t U, they don’t live inside your body & mind, & they can not definitively say what they hypothetically may or may not do in any circumstances they’ve not experienced personally. Their opinion & judgments, therefore, are entirely irrelevant, &, unless explicitly solicited, also unwarranted, unnecessary & unhelpful. Just ignore them, or shut down their ignorance with your knowledge & understanding. They cannot argue with facts. Well, they can, but they’ll only end up looking ill-informed and foolish, lol. ;-P :-)
