How do you deal with people gloating over your misfortune? People who try to make you feel even worse?

These days, everyone knows everything about what happens to you and some people will contact you to rub salt in your wounds about something embarrassing that happened to you. They'll make fun of you or tell everyone else about it.

This really stings, doesn't it? How do you handle these messages, and these people?

Ignore their messages (super hard to do)

Fight back by reminding them of things THEY would like to forget!

Hit your head against walls

You're looking at this incorrectly.

People who enjoy the suffering of others only do so to temporarily relieve the agony that is consuming them.

They have become so empty inside, that only the pain of another person (Their misfortune, embarrassment, pain, suffering, etc) makes them feel remotely human, or good about themselves.

Left unrepented, these people die horrible, slow, achingly empty, lonely lives, long after the joy of seeing and causing other people pain has totally consumed any hope of happiness or joy in their lives.

Some wounds only God can heal. But do not hate these people, instead, pity them. Very few of their kind ever get out of their vile ways.

I voted A... its always the best.. but when someone in the same situation decides to do it... Im out for blood.. i will choose B... and C is never a good option... it just gives the the satisfaction.

People who didn't care much about your feelings will definitely find amusement in your misfortunes. Fighting back will just make things worst. They'll find another way to taunt you. Ignore it but not to the extent that its degrading. People often gone overboard and you have to tell them that, otherwise they'll think everything is alright. If you feel that it's too much... talk to them seriously, make them feel you really mean business. Everyone have their own flaws, they are not perfect themselves.

People get bored with their own lives so they seek out the business of others; it's their way of feeling like they have some excitement in their lives by reaching yours.

i prefer to fight back... i'm on the vindictive side tbh

[NoMoreDreams]

I vote A, just ignore their messages. It doesn't really happen to me, but that's because I don't put my life on social media sites. So no one really knows what I'm up to unless my friends tag me in a picture.

[abundantlyrich]

Ill rub salt back and reflect their nasty side to them. They just want to be challenged.

[CommieKiller]

I voted B. I've shut a few people I know up this way.
