It's not what you say it's how you say it. Words could could sting or scar.  Many people probably wouldn't admit it. No matter how thick skin You think You are. Words can cut deep and leave and everlasting impression. Sometime from the wrong people we look for the bloom of affection. The trick is not to let it get under your skin. Don't let the negative words seep in. What you think of yourself is the only thing that matters. Do your best not to listen to idle chatter.
