You can’t be wrapped in cotton wool, get out there deal with it by yourself as an adult.
Absolutely Pauline, some people need to grow a pair!

In my day it was "Sticks and Stones".....

Sticks and stones etc ---

The reality is that names can and do hurt many people in many cases and can cause people to gang up against someone resulting in real shtick. Trust me, I know these things.

However if it's a case of not liking what people call you, that's a very different matter. Live with it, but to continually face ridicule then either ignore it, grow thick skin / scar tissue, or repeat "dilligaf" to yourself.

Some of you may need to Google "dilligaf" - but in most cases with you guys I doubt it!

That is a good point “ continued ridicule”..unless you know how to deal with it,or understand why some people ridicule, it’s a tough one,..I do know what it is like to be continually ridiculed it can and does do a lot of damage,.....obviously it’s different for everyone ( being ridiculed).....never take it personally now in hindsight, ain’t life interesting.

Understanding it was the key for me.

I dilligaf now,😂🤣😅, as long as I’m happy with my behaviour, no one has the right to tell anyone how to behave or what to say.

You can only wake yourself up to your own behaviour!.

Some peoples are good at pointing the finger at others,when in reality they need to take a good look at themselves, which I believe we have all pointed the finger.

The epithet "gammon" seems quite popular among snowflakes these days and, presumably, would include me in the description.

To be honest, it doesn't bother me in the slightest, especially as I can't see the connection anyway. I don't like pork products.

There's not so much a line as a depletion zone. If someone calls me a Jewish Bastard irrespective of the correctness of anything and they do so occasionally such as after I've pulled off a deal involving a whole lot of chutzpah then that's fine but do it continually and there comes a point when they find themselves adding "Ouch!" immediately afterwards. Trust me, it has happened.

This is why it is important to consider to whom you are saying such things. Even on here.
