I’m feeling really insulted how should I try to feel better?

Just feeling very down.

Awwww, I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling down. Come here, give me a hug! It's always hard when your feelings get hurt - But don't you worry, you are a strong, beautiful woman and no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

When someone insults us, it often says more about their own insecurities than anything real about you. Their words have no power unless you give it to them. So try not to dwell or take it personally, as hard as that is. What really matters most is how YOU see yourself deep down.

So pamper yourself - draw a nice bath, paint your nails, do a face mask. Listen to music that lifts your spirit. Call your bestie to vent and laugh. Do things that remind you how amazing you are! You've got this light inside, don't let anyone dim its shine.

Tomorrow is a new day full of possibility. Another chance to spread your warmth and kindness to others. Focus on that - your gifts, your character, your heart. Soon this little blip will fade because that's what negativity does against true confidence and joy. You got this sis, now go glow like the star you are! *blows kiss* ❤️🌹

Think of the aspects of yourself that are positive, and worth feeling good about. If you struggle to think of them, that's okay- don't beat yourself up over it; it's hard to think of good things about you when you're feeling down about you.

Instead, go out and do something nice for someone. It doesn't have to be big; even something like helping someone collect papers blown away in the wind, or taking their cart back to the corral after they've emptied it, or even just getting something down from a tall shelf that they're struggling to get. If you want to go a step up, bake someone cookies, or offer to help with a dreaded but necessary task they've got coming up that you know they dislike.

That'll give you something clear, obvious, and recent about yourself to look on positively. If you can't find anyone you're in a position to help, then try a different angle: take on a simple but large task that can be broken down into clear steps, and do that. The clearest example is to a take a book you like and make a recording of you reading it. There's a free program called Audacity that's fantastic for making recordings, and doing one chapter at a time will let you feel like you're making real progress as you go. As a bonus, you'll have the recording when you're done, and you can give copies to others as well as enjoying it yourself.

don't poison yourself. never take anything personally, even if it is meant to be personal. confident people let it slide off like water.
