I read that saying somewhere. Can't exactly remember where, but it makes sense. I mean, after all, why should someone be allowed to tell you 'untruths' about yourself?
If it's anyone who knows 'you' the best; it's got to be YOU! Sure, friends and family can help us get over some 'flaws' in ourselves so that we can become better people, but there's a huge difference in trying to help someone and say something hurtful just for malice. Then the intention is not to help, but harm.
And let's add to that list strangers and co-workers. Everyone has their own opinion on certain aspects of 'your' character.
Now that's all fine and dandy because people are people and everyone IS entitled to an opinion.
And again, if it's to help you, then great, because we all have flaws that need fixing, but if it is belittle you so that the other person can feel better about themselves, then the best thing we can do is just ignore what was said and go along our merry way. Especially if what we're doing is not harming anyone INCLUDING ourselves, then carry on I say!
If we took on everything everyone said, we'd never get anything done.
