There is a guy that everytime he sees me he says bad words about me so I can hear them and then laughs like he heard the most hilarious joke. I can see through his insecurities. No happy person would go to such length to make someone feel bad. That's not my problem. I also know what to do next time this occurs and he is not going to like it.   This is not about what to do or what's wrong with him. This is about me. Why this insult makes me angry and feel worthless? Why I can't just laugh with it as I usally do with these kind of people?  I thought I had improved my personality so much that these things didn't affect me anymore(and most times they don't) but everytime he laughs like this it gets to me.  Like, what exactly makes me so irritated and feeling so worthless that I can't ignore low consciousness people like him? It makes me feel like I can't control my own emotions which is weird cause no one can make me feel bad at least longer than a minute, if it's not something serious. But this time, something that isn't serious at all, makes me feel worthless... why?  Most of the time I feel a worthy person, but when I sometimes remember those instances with this low consciousness person, it makes me feel worthless for some moments.
