Now it is second nature - if someone issues a particularly hurtful comment towards me I consider that to be rather insensitive so I do not let it bother me. As you point out, if that comment contains a grain of truth, I do my best to extract that grain and make use of it.

It's when they're RIGHT and SMART that it hurts me. Otherwise, I find it hard to listen anyway. p.s. Do you have another topic for me? I'll try to write it up sooner next time. :grin: I understand what you mean about attacks for attack’s sake being hurtful, but I always tend to discount people who have nothing worthwhile to say.

We definitely have extremely different feelings on what is hurtful. I'm more hurt by things that were just said just to attack rather than be constructive. That's really cool about your teacher. Good luck to him on the award! :) I was starting to think you hated my topic. I like that you put a lot of thought into it.
