Negative comments really pull me down...

Hi Zelmarq! I do agree with you dear that negative comments could really affect us one way or the other and will greatly affect us especially if we are in one of our "weak moments". However, you have to fight it off and I do know that it is easier said than done. Nevertheless, I would insist that you do since these people are criticizing you without even really knowing the real you. I am sure tomorrow will be brighter for you dear! Take care always..God Bless!

Cheer up! It's all over and done with. Even if you don't like the comments, what can you do about it? Ask the person who commented it to take it back? Cannot, right? Lol, so it is better in life to just let negative baseless comments slide, and be happy! Happiness or sadness all lies in what one's mind think. If you choose to let those negative comments affect you like this, and pull your mood all the way down, then again, that is your choice. If you know that you had done your best, and what more, it was done out of goodwill, then why do you want to let this affect your mood for the day? For every 5 comments that people make, there is always one bugger who would make a negative one. This is all part and parcel of life, and in order to survive a mental breakdown (sorry for the expression of words ) we have got to always look on the bright side of life. Have you done your best? If you have, let the comment slide, and keep telling yourself that you had done all that you have, and if that person is still unhappy, that is their problem. Don't let other people's opinions affect your confidence and mood in anything. That is something that I have learnt in my 6 years of working life. There are always people who enjoys dwelling in the negativity of life, and enjoys pulling down people to be the same as them as they just cannot stand the thought of anybody having happiness when they can't. These sort of people take pleasure in other's unhappiness. That's all I can say. You will definately start your day tomorrow with a bright new start! Believe that you will and you will. Hope and there is the possibility that you might never be. So, start off your morning by going, "I'm so happy today!!" Then laugh to yourself. It may sound and look crazy to everybody around you, but trust me, it works!! Take care! And look forward to the future!!

hope the saying DO YOUR BEST AND LEAVE THE REST TO GOD.maybe the officemate is plain jealous of you.try to bless her and you will see it brings great peace of mind.

Well, we are the same zel, whenever I got negative comments from people, it really weighs me down, that sometimes it made me just lying in my bed for a long time. Maybe we're just not the same with them. Because I don't usually utter words that would offend or hurt people. I believe when you don't have anything good to say to a person, just shut up. So whenever we hear people of offensive words, which we're not used o give, it puts us really really down.

Unpleasant remarks seem to be everywhere. I don't like them either and they affect you more than people admit. I have a supervisor who is constantly irritating me and he knows it. Actually, I think he does it deliberately. I have a good bit of experience with this. I know how it feels.

You will be alright Just dont let what they say get ya down or what a co worker says. I would have asked her that did I help you today! Iam notthe person ya talked to yesterday. and the past dont help with what you did today. some how ya got to get around those bit*hy people

cheer up zelmarg!! its only work ..dont let it affect you ...and makes you grumpy and moody..just shrugged it off..tomorrow is another day of facing same complaints(kidding ok)..jsut set in your mind that its the part of your job..no more no less..and smile..it may change the color of your sorroundings..

bad words or harsh words from others are always hard to swallowed , it really test your patience & but the main thing is that test.... how you react or deal with it.... Goodluck !!

We all feel put down when negative comments are directed towards us... so the best thing to do is to summon up all the strength we have so that we can walk out of the office with our head held up high... and prove to them the next day that i deserve to be there... Do not worry... you will rise again tomorrow... this is just one of those days that we feel that the whole world is against you...

well, it is surely give to you so that you will learn. learn to know the different people around us. if you haven't yet become victorious about it then it will surely be coming back to you.. and later on, when you are victorious over it, you will be smiling only and 'kebers' na lang sa mga nagtawagtawag.. well, life is like that though.. we are to encounter a lot of experiences that will really test us. we are Christians, and we need to be refined. and when we are refined in that area, we are to go to the next level.. level 1 to 10.. hehe.. but a great thing to know is that we have the great assurance from up above.. HIS MERCY IS NEW EVERY MORNING.. IT IS ALRIGHT IF WE FAIL THIS DAY, BECAUSE TOMORROW IS YET ANOTHER DAY TO START.. FOR HIS GLORY...

Hello there Zelmarq, there's nothing like rude and unhappy customers or anyone at all at work to bog our mood down, isn't there..? I'd say cheer up to you and that these moment would always come. I know it's not easy to stay happy everyday, but at the same time, it would be good to just disregard everything and take them like a pinch of salt. I work as an Engineer and I have my bad moments at work; this supervisor and that and etc. It gets me down, when I have to meet projects and supervisors are bogging my mind, stressing me because they are scared to be told off by authorities, and the list goes down like that. Here's a tip that I've been practicing for quite some time. Every time I come home from work, I make it a point not to think or discuss work issues. And it's just purely rest and relax for me at home. Try it, I'm sure it will work for you.

Hi Zelmarq, I dont want to offend you but i should say that we can never please everybody, though we think we try our very best still there some who will be unsatisfied. Instead of getting frustrated about it why dont you just accept what they say and just learn from it, sometimes we think that we're doing the right thing but after evaluating we found out that we have participation why did it happen.. Cheer up and dont let that negative comments pull you down instead use it to climb up to your success. Have a good day..

cheer up Zelmarq. don't let your self be affected by those negative comments, instead take it as a compliments and let them see that what they said is not true and wrong. Well, there are people who are like that. Whatever nice and good things you do, they will still give you negative comments. They are simply jealous for what you've achieved. Negative comments are sometimes painful, but they are part of our life so don't be sad. There a lot of people received such negative comments including them.

From the years I worked with the public I've learned that some people are not going to be satisfied no matter what you do. Just keep your chin up and a smile on your face. Let the criticism roll off your back. Do the best you can and then don't worry about it.

im sorry about the comments you recieved today. just try to let it roll off you. i know its hard.

I hope you have a much better day tomorrow! And the saying "stick and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me." is not true! Words cut really deep and you cannot take those words back but bruises and cuts heal and most of the time never leave a scar. Words scar for life, I feel. We all need to watch what we say. I hear a saying "be careful of the words you throw out today because you may have to eat them tomorrow." So whether they are bitter or sweet words you have the choice. I know you do your job very well and I know tomorrow will be much better. God bless you!

Don't worry, I am sure you will be fine tomorrow! Life is like that, there are different kinds of people and not all of them are nice and considerate (imagine a perfect world if that's so). Some people do that deliberately do make others miserable and some of the people don't know what they have done. Just forget it and move on because the life is yours, no one could really help if you are feeling down.

Don't worry it will surely be alright the following day. In your type of job (call center right?) you shouldn't take the clients' comments to heart. Let the bad comments pass from one ear to the other or you will have a heart attack sooner or later. The good comments you receive should bring you up. Forget the negative ones. They do not make you a better you. Also, learn from the comments and take them constructively. Why did the client comment that way? Have you committed a mistake? L Learn the ins and outs of your job and do not let a measly comment - which I guess was only one out of the hundred clients you had - ruin your day. Don't mind your office mate, too. Life goes on. Cheer up.

Well, that's life. I've learned to let negative comments go in one ear and out the other. Take a deep breath and smile. Of course, imagining the person who insulted you wearing a toilet bowl on her head helps a lot, too. Hahaha!
