Obstinance_Works: If the words are meritable and true and coming from somebody or someplace that I respect, then yes.


that's true... that's why I can not argue with my parents and my big brother... because they have charisma... they can give a good example for their kids...their words and their action are MATCH there is no BS in their statements...

there is no power in words when it comes from big mouth people...
I will never respect somebody that never been able to prove his BS (somebody who likes non stop talking but there is no action and no effort to realize his words)

You know what they say, sticks and stones will break your bones but names will damn near kill you. Words stay with you and keep torturing you for years after they have been said. Some of the deepest wounds I have are a result of words.

We always said "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me"

I cant say that words hurt me as they dont, they are simply someones opinion.

If hurtful words are said by someone you love they can cut like a knife.

So...why is that loved one saying something to hurt you???? Do they actually mean it???? or are they just being spiteful. It all makes a difference.
If they mean it............do you have to take a look at your own actions.
If they´re being spiteful........why are they being so???????
Loved ones should be trying to uplift you.

It depends on numerous things really.
All humans have a differant level of sensibility,so the effect will be differant on differant individuals.
Even your early home life can make a differance.If you were bought up in an atmosphere where family members argued and insulted eachother all the time,you could have i higher tolerance or the opposite.
The subject matter is important.If it really cutting and personal,rather than a general insult towards you,it could be more hurtful.
