A woman said something hurtful to me today and it still hurts. How can I cheer up & let it go?

Usually, I am a giddy, happy-go-lucky person that doesn't take too many things to heart (even my great-grand-mother's death late week), so this strange. Well, here's what happened:


I was leaving the store %26amp; saw a fancy-looking woman about to come in, so I held the door for her %26amp; said, "Hi" to her. Then she said, "Ugh, move your little ugly black *$$ out of my way, s***.!!"


I was so shocked to hear that come from a random person, I couldn't say anything to her back.


Now, I am so sad, I couldn't even go to church.


I know it's a really childish thing to be depressed over, but I can't let it go for some reason.

This is like a made up stories, it is hard to believe,uhmm, a fancy looking woman would say such things to a nice stranger kid or no kid.
Reply:yea idiot people like her. just let it pass, she may have been having a bad day? people like her are not common so don't let the one experience change you. as you say, you're a giddy, happy-go-lucky person, and i think the world needs more people like you =)
Reply:I strongly believe that that woman is at fault in dis situation, maybe dat woman has just lost her head or sth, just dont worry about it, if i were in dat womans place, i wud hev praised u but if in yo place then, just ignore...maybe u r just one of them hu can go thru gr88 issues but struggle on small probs, anyweiz, just try ignoring it cuz if u'll worry bout it, it will only hurt u and nothing else so just get over it!!! try watching a cartoon 4 a change (maybe tom and jerry) lol...u wud cheer up automatically...
Reply:she is such a small minded person. she is not happy. you are way better than her. just list all the positive things about yourself. and also, i am sure you have more self respect than that woman.
Reply:That is totally understandable to feel that way. Honestly that would ruin my day, too. Being white I don't deal with racist f*** heads, but people like that get to me.





All I can say is there are people like that everywhere. Try not to stress over it. You let her win by feeling this way. All you can do is just be you. Be happy you aren't her.





Hell, you are probably hotter than she is and she was just jealous. Chicks do that all the time.
Reply:You will have to learn to build a wall of protection around you ; from those who had been put on earth just to hurt everyone on their path ; rest assure that you are not her first victim ; it would have been the same thing if she had receive such a politeness from a white person ; Oh the words would have been little bit different but as much hurtful ; because her ego is bigger than the world ; and she will not hesitate to walk over anybody
Reply:I understand and I'm sorry that happened to you. Some people are so nasty and disrespectful. It's easy to say "Who cares? Forget about her" but that's not easy to do. All I can say is don't let the ignorance of other people get you down. You know you are a beautiful person and that ugly-spirited person just wanted to bring you down to her level of misery. You'll probably never forget this incident, but don't let it define who you are and how you look at others because everyone is not like that.
Reply:People are not just prejudice against skin color, they are predujice against religion, sex, what you wear, how you speak, the color of your hair, etc. I had three people flip me of in less than 24 hrs. yesterday, just driving my car! One of the times my fifteen yr. old was in the car and she said, "mom, don't worry about it. Me and my friend always wave to people in cars when we're riding the bus, and you wouldn't believe how many people flip us off." Just as a side-note, her bus had the christian school name on it.


Anyways, one time not too long ago, a girl put something on the internet about my son. This is the same girl that branded him with a tattoo and most likely the one to introduce him to drugs. I had to send my son to his father's all the way across the nation to get him away from her and other kids in an attempt to get him off of drugs. When I read the crude, nasty song she posted about my son, I had my last straw. She was waiting for him to come back and it he didn't come back as messed up as when he left, she wrote she would kick his $$.


I, like you, am a happy -go-lucky person and I don't think I have ever been that mad before. I wanted to go find her and kick her $$. I knew it, God knew it, but I still told him. Then I heard in a still small voice "forgive her". What? How could I do that! I was too angry. Then I heard that still small voice again, "pray for her". NO way, God. I can't. Then I heard that still small voice again,"if you don't pray for her, who will?" I have to say, that got me to thinking. It's easy for us to pray for nice people in need of something or people in jail that have hurt others, but its hard when the person has offended us. I seriously doubt anyone is praying for this young adult. So I fell to my knees, and I prayed for her. It was the hardest prayer of my life, and I was still upset when I was done, but everytime I think of her now, I remember that nobody is probably praying for her.


Who would pray for this lady that is so rude and vulgar? Probably no one, but you may not have known this had you not experienced the ugliness that came out of her. So instead of us looking at how nasty someone was to us, we may want to see their need of our Savior. We are seeing a condition of their heart. So who's going to pray for her?


Take care, I hope you will have a better day tomorrow!
Reply:She was ignorant and you should not give her another thought. I despise people that hate others just because of the color of their skin, but that's something we will always have to put up with from a few idiots.
