sure yaar , I will try my level best that i don't pay importance to the nonsense broadcasted by people in such a way that I start doubting my self worth .

Once you become joyful, all these other people will fade away... they are all figments of your imagination anyway, repeating what you feel about yourself.
the day you change your thoughts, you will see that they are nowhere around. you'll just look up and say "hmm,,, this is odd... I havent seen or spoken to so and so for eight months now. wonder what happened" 😆

yaar I never go to people and talk. if by chance accidently peopleand i come in the same platform , they start their speech along with their doubts. Nowadays my parents and you guys in the forum are the only ones with which I talk freely and interact. Rest all vanished😆

@ bluerobin

You've raised some very important issues and I can see that you are being dragged down a bit by events in real life so before I begin my bhashan, 🤗. Ok, now that that's done, I'm going to speak from experience. I've borne the brunt of people's so-called humour nearly all my life. Looks, the way I dressed, academics, hobbies, personality, people always seem to have something negative/funny (to them) to say. It affected me pretty badly, in fact, it affects me to this day, but I've improved a bit now. The turning point came the day I sat down to think just why I was giving so much importance to these people. I enjoy being quiet, I love to read, I actually like keeping my grades up and yes, parties give me a raging headache. Trying to change any of these made me feel bad about myself, and those other people were never going to be satisfied in any case. Basically, I realized that you can NEVER get such people to like you. It is better you focus on liking yourself. Now I try to do those things that make ME feel good and try my best to ignore what other people say about this. I don't even bother justifying myself... and that is working! I also make a conscious effort to talk to people about ideas rather than things or other people, which helps me eliminate thoughts about what I have or who is better/worse than I am. I'm still only getting out of the bad phase, so I'm not an expert, but I hope this helped you a bit 😊

@ bhoomi - thanks a lot yaar . your words mean a lot to me . I just have only one enquiry to the society , relatives especially ...can't they just follow the principle of live and let live. We are not disturbing anyone, we never enquire about their personal lives, no interference in their lives from our part , so can't they also keep follow an ettiquette and stop interfering or start cooking up stories about us and teaching us what should be done with our life minute by minute . yaar here people don't like to discuss ideas or general knowledge . All they know is to talk petty things regarding the lives of others , forming opinions about others, cooking up stories to project they are number one. And the problem is they get disturbed and uncomfortable if we talk about things that they don't know. Now a time has reached that people start fuming just because we have ideas to exchange . so finally the last retort is to talk with oneself .

Live and let live requires a bit of maturity, bluerobin 😊 And maturity, like common sense, is most uncommon. Ignore such people. One thing I will say, the minute you put yourself above such negativity, people's attitudes change. If they don't, their loss and you won't even care 😃

Sometimes fiction helps to get our thoughts sorted. Jagya thinks and talks rot because he's insecure, selfish and arrogant. Gauri has become terrible because she won't look at things in all dimensions and accept she's wrong. The villagers cannot accept change, even when the old way of things hurts them. These are prototypes of the hundred negative people we meet in our daily lives. Anandi is rising above her difficulties because of her absolute conviction in what she's doing. She's in pain, but she never gives up. And now she has Shiv, whose encouragement helps her to keep persevering. Translated to real life I suppose it means we ought to do what we think is right, even in the face of criticism and the people who really matter will always be there to support us. 😊

yaar bhoomi - One relative of mine is there . All he does is talking about others, taunting you indirectly. Doesn't even think what the other person may think. As you said was talking something general topics , not related to any person . He became angry and started telling me " you are not the only person having vocabulary to talk " . He started telling my mother " if I had been born in a street, i would be never be able to talk properly because of lack of education" . This is the sort of response you get when you try to be friendly with a person . That day I realized how much narrow minded this person is . The people around me are more or less this type. I really had to make plan like an army personnel to remove people like this.

I think real freedom is not when these people no longer talk like this, and then you can have peace of mind.
Real freedom is when they continue talking like this, and you can still even then have your peace of mind.
Real happiness is not found in controlling people and circumstances to conform to behaving in pleasing manners and saying pleasing things to you...
Instead, real happiness is found in the ability to be happy even when people do and say things that are unpleasant.
Real happiness is not found only when things go your way.
Real happiness is found when things don't go your way... BUT YOU STILL BEHAVE AS IF THEY ARE GOING YOUR WAY.
If you can remain emotionally stable and happy always by focusing on your blessings ... the changes in your circumstances or the attitude of people will not disturb you.
And yes, blue robin, you have really found the key to happiness in your last line which I have highlighted in red.
See, you are not really looking for a relationship with other people. The only relationship you are looing for is the relationship between YOU and YOU.
Every romantic relationship you are looking for is also the relationship between you and you.
It is never between you and another person.
You are your own lover.
Think about the thoughts you are thinking just now "I am short, I am thin" etc. etc. etc. and how you beat yourself up about them. Would you like to listen to that from a lover? No.
So first treat yourself the way you would want a lover to treat you, and from that vantage point you will attract a lover who treats you the same way.

Loved reading this thread!
And I agree, when you love yourself, what any one else SHOULD not matter. That being said, we are humans and it is naturfal for us to seek approval from our peers and loved ones. Positive reinforcement helps our self image. HOWEVER, there are those, like me, that do no adhere to one school of thought. Basically, I do what I want, when I want, and how I want. Why? Because I am who I am. I am not changing for a fickle society.
I come from a Muslim family, but I am an agnostic. We are a very conservative and narrow minded family originating from Pakistan. But I am a liberal minded, cheerful, a feminist, independent... I do not believe my life will be complete with a husband and kids. Others do not think there's a life without being a wife. That is why I DON'T like it when they say that Anandi ne shaadi tou karni hai. Well, why? She doesn't have to marry. She should WANT to marry. But I do love how they attraction is blossoming, the heat is there, the mental compatibility is bringing these two (Anandi and Shiv) closer and on a different level. I like a true love story.
Ok back to my point, its ok to be who you are, its ok for people to come at you because anytime you are different, you are a target. People have compared me to my much beautiful younger sister all my life. She has that charisma that you see with Kareena Kapoor. The sexuality and physical beauty draws people to her. But she is also a target as well cause she is so pretty and not normal looking. I am on the other hand olive skinned, full figured, and shorter. I love to smile and make people laugh because it brings me joy. But that does not stop people from judging me. They say I am fat, don't look like my sister because she is way more beautiful, and compare us all the time. I do not care. Why... because I LOVE my body, I love my personality, and those same people who talk crap are insecure and that's why they feel the need to put me down. Its ok though. I understand. But I can be a better person and let it all slide off my back. Took me years to realize the physical abuse I suffered was not my fault, the bullying in school taught me to be a survivor, the taunts from family showed me I should love myself more and forgive them for their ignorance and cruelty, and the bewafai I suffered stops with me and I do not continue that vicious cycle of pain & do not inflict others.
The point of this post... as others have said, love yourself and then so will others. If they don't, no loss because the only person I am answerable to at the end is ME! All the stuff I went through has made me a better person. And I truly believe in karma.
