<p>Watch them cry as I prove them wrong with ease. Then laugh.</p>
<p>I think people are over-estimating how much the other party actually cares.</p>

<p>did anyone else lol at this? >_></p>
<p>Personally, when people tell me I can’t do something, I either really try hard to do it, or just be like 
and stray away from it.</p>
<p>Like, a rule? Like, when my mom is like “you can’t reenact mythbuster explosions or go to stunt performer camp this summer”? Hate that.</p>
<p>Pshh, prove her wrong.</p>
<p>Nah, but serious things like people telling me they don’t think I have the ability to do something? Yeah, no one tells me that, people have implied it at times but I don’t really care. I never do something because someone tells me I can or can’t, I usually do something because I really want to and if I get the opportunity to go “nah-nah-nah–nah–nah-nah” to them I’ll do it as a bonus.</p>
<p>I think if someone was like “you can’t do this” and it’s not my mom, I’d just let them know that they’re not my mom. It’s all childish, but whatever.</p>

ibSleepy, your comment is really harsh. My username doesn’t reflect my comment.</p>
<p>^ I think it’s that your username doesn’t reflect your comment.</p>
<p>Hmmm I tell that to people sometimes…</p>
<p>I speak my mind when I don’t think its possible</p>
<p>for example
“I need to get a 100 on my final to get an A”
I told him he couldn’t do it</p>
<p>Nobody tells me “you can’t do it” though.</p>
<p>Normally, when people tell me something along those lines, I am too naive to notice. And then I go ahead and do it anyways.</p>
<p>Then, by the time they’re handing me the awards, I’ve figured it out and 
at them.</p>
<p>lol, I’m sorry. I just found it funny reading your kind of depressing post and then looking at your bright user name. hahaha. In all seriousness though, I can relate. My family is pretty critical as well.</p>
<p>I laugh (in their face), pretend they were joking, pity the fool, go about my business, and prove them wrong a week later.</p>
<p>

<p>I missed this before. And I know what you mean. I used to be in the same situation. I can remember it quite vividly; especially those few lingering hateful words that are difficult to forget. The whole experience kind of permanently remains engraved in your mind. It can be rather debilitating at times.</p>
<p>But I found writing helped. Instead of wallowing for hours in self-pity.</p>
<p>Unless it’s saying that I can’t fly or something true like that, I usually shout in my head “Screw you I can try!” and then prove them wrong :)</p>
<p>if you try to prove them wrong that means that you think that they are right in the first place…</p>
<p>They’re usually right.</p>
<p>Say ok…? And walk away.</p>
<p>I look at the facts, like my circumstances and the other dude’s credentials. Let’s say Michael Jordan is telling me, a 5’5 asian dude who doesn’t even play basketball, that I can’t make the NBA. Then, uh… yeah sure, I’ll believe him. But if some random immigrant janitor with broken English tells me I can’t become a famous author, then I’d definitely doubt that.</p>
<p>But either way, I don’t really give a flying eff because people can think what they want</p>
