What's your attitude to others negative comments?

If somebody say,money to him is what water to fish,then there will be a comment on him,he is a mammonist. But if you say i don't like money at all ,others will laugh at you for they thought you are an untruthful person. Or some other situations,when you are in that case,what will be your response? Either refute ,ignore,or ?

People will always have something to say on just about everything. When we react to negative things, it is because how we look at ourselves is contrary to who we really are. Each and every one of us is truly worthy, valued and loved. If you can accept that and believe that, no matter what other people say, you will always find peace in yourself. But if you think otherwise, and somebody says something negative about you, you will feel bad because you will think that what they said is true about you, but it contradicts the very essence of who you really are. Learn to accept and believe your true nature of being worthy and loved and you will never have problems with negative comments again. :)

That sounds reasonable,i will control my nagetive thoughts and learn to accept the different views. After all ,it's a good way to know more about myself,and i can improve myself by introspection. With my limited words,i can't express myself clearly,so pls pardon me. Thank you very much and have a nice time.

I try to be true to myself.I am what I am.If I am a money monger,I am a money monger no matter what people think of me.I will accept the criticism.And if I am a money monger,I will never make a claim that I am not one.True and positive comments are are always welcome.So far as negative comments are concerned,I would like to react to them either with a smile or a silence.This is because I know people would never take what I say at face value.

Thanks.I don't see any reasons to be upset over what others say or think about me.I know,I can't conceal my true nature.Our tendencies reveal themselves.If I try to hide them,I would be ridiculed by others.So better be true to ourselves.Show your true self and be free of all fears.

Hum,what a natural and unrestranined person you are. With this attitude to face with the problem,no matter what it is,i believe you must be very freedom.You won't influenced by others,do yourself,it's easy for you. But in the realistic life,you know,how many person choose to hide their true feelings for various reasons.

I personally tend to ingore the negative comments of others! I have no time for anything negative in my own life as I have been fighting a huge battle in terms of always trying to remain positive. When you have negative people around you and all they focus on is doom and gloom this can definitely affect your own way of thinking and there is a danger that you will pick up those negative vibrations. I make sure that I keep my thinking right by always referring to a positive thinking book from time to time and I find this helps a lot. Everything negative, that all belongs in my past. Andrew

Here in myLot, they really don't know us that much so we can't have a positive nor a negative comment. It's all up to us if we'd like to get affected with those comments. I hope you won't feel that upset if you receive any negative comments. People are entitled to their opinions. Thanks for sharing and happy mylotting.

Hi xiaopinggai, There is always contradiction in what is good and what is bad depending upon where the thing is been talked, in which society the thing is been talked, or with what type of person the thing is been talked. People grow up in their own circumstances and beliefs, that make them different from each other. We read lot of moral stories since childhood and every time what we read make us realize "Oh yes", we should be like this, we should be like that and so on. But now, grown up, as we look back in the past what we have read in the lower grades, and what actually the life is, there are lot of contradictions. In some stories, the moral was, "You should be honest and should not deceive others." In other grade in another story, the moral was, "You should be clever enough and clever are the one who wins". So now what to accept and what not to. What I have concluded in life is, Good and bad things are relative. Some things that are good to one may not be good to other and the some things which are bad to other may be good to other. So to your question, if someone comments on my deeds, then it depends on whom I am talking to, what type of person I am talking to. If the person is cool enough to listen for my response, they I would talk with him. But if the person is too much stubburn, keeps sticking to his views. I just ignore them. Let them think, what they think? It doesn't matter. The truth is as they are. Comments of anyone doesn't differ it. So its better to stay quiet... Happy mylotting...

wow,surprising. It's very kind of you to answer me so patient.I have understood your meaning very clearly,and i do agree with you. The different circumstance of growing lead to a disparate way of thinking ,and with the time past,it become a habit,so it's very hard for us to change . At the same time,it depends on the person who we talk with ,if we care them,we can try our best to prove ourselves.But if we don't,so whatever the comments are,it doesn't matter. Thank you very much ,best wishes to you.

so far i have not receive a negative respond yet but i am prepared myself not to react negatively, in my opinion it is more productive to just ignore negative comments or responds but if the comments have substance even if is negative i might as well have a discussion with that who have responded on me negatively,..

I would probably ask the person why he feels the way he does.

Hi xiao! Why should I give those kind of people too much attention? Are they the one paying for my food, shelter? I don't even think they are worth the attention. Just ignore them.

I usually ignore if I can, or if I'm in the right mood. But if I'm in a fighting mood, I will not let it pass without giving a piece of my mind. Basically I'm very opinionated and would debate especially if I know I'm right, so it really depends I guess on my state of mind. :D
