As much as I think sarcasm as a first answer may have been harsh it’s pretty clear that these types of situations are apt to continue based on some of the other answers. I mean @rockette, you are obviously a sensitive person and there’s nothing wrong with that. And we can all identify. At one point in our lives we’ve all felt hurt deeply by someone’s behavior. And that is completely acceptable, but developing new coping methods is important. And crying in a group or to elicit sympathy will not help you but actually make you more vulnerable. In private or in limited doses with a boyfriend/girlfriend it’s healthy but I think what your aiming for is a method of dealing with a public situation.
To expect the world to change as a result of one person’s feelings is not realistic. You have to take responsibility for your reaction to people. People don’t do or make us feel anything. As long as you believe people have the power to harm you then they will, because you have basically given them your power. And NO ONE has that power unless it’s given over to them. This is where self esteem begins and dependency upon parents/protectors is left behind.
Or you can hate the meany weanies and take your ball and go home..
