If somebody makes fun of you and you feel bad, I think ultimately it is you that feels bad about yourself

Ultimately the source is their own feelings about themselves. Is it OK to make fun of people? Not necessarily that’s not what I’m saying

[Ms Harmless]

maybe people might feel better about themselves if the world didn't constantly mock them, but the world will continue to mock them as long as some other people still enjoy that

There's a lot of good stuff in this short exchange that I'd like to explore further. It's too bad you two are the ones to hash it all out.

Tree and me are on opposite sides of the terrible person spectrum

My internal dialogue is me constantly mocking myself. It maybe why I can’t accomplish anything

you probably didn't create that internal monologue; it may well consist of the voices of other people

I found my true voice through meditation
