Find something that you're proud of, that you know you are uniquely suited to, and remind yourself everyday of how good you are at it. Surround yourself with people who genuinely love you, and build up your relationships with them. Jot down one thing that you love about yourself every day to remind yourself of your unique worth. Lastly, remember that people laugh at other people because they may be feeling bad about themselves and are just looking for ways to make themselves feel better, so know that they probably aren't targeting you on purpose. Hope this helps :)

People mostly laugh at others because of insecurities they have themselves. They want to overshadow their flaws by pointing out somebody else's. I believe that it's not worth giving your attention to. To get over people laughing at me, I just remind myself of that. People who make fun of me just want to feel better for themselves. I've learned how to feel comfortable the way I am and I'd change nothing about me. Everyone should think of it thay way and embrace the way they are, flaws included. No body is perfect and neither are the people that laugh at others.

I just think to myself well they could be laughing at something else, thought of something funny or if they are directly laughing at me I try to take it as a compliment and move on. For example, I'm wearing a unique outfit and someone laughs at it. I don't take it personally I just think I am unique and that's what makes me, me. Just because people are laughing doesn't mean it's bad either it could be laughing because of a bug landing on you and you don't know. Regardless of why are how you can't think the worst of the situation and you can't take it personally.

Well, I hope you can trust me in the fact that I am sure people aren't always laughing at you! But, if they are, I would recommend laughing with them. By doing this it can help you kind of get over the embarrassment factor of it all, and maybe even make you happy by getting some laughs in. Another way I would like to get over the feeling of people laughing at me is by positive self talk (ex. I am confident! I am smart and talented). Positive self talk is good because with a little practice, you can easily boost your confidence and get those negative thoughts/negative thinking out of your head!

Most people are usually minding their own business and doing their own thing. If people are laughing at you due to bullying/making fun of you, know that that says more about them as a person. Those who laugh/make fun of others do it usually because they are insecure themselves and need a way to let out that insecurity by hurting others. It is wrong for them to do that but sometimes they are just unaware and feel that is the best way to let it out. In that case, try to ignore them. Most people in general don't laugh at people.

It's really easy to feel like people are making fun of you behind your back, especially if you have low self esteem. I think it helps to think about how many people you judge or laugh at on a daily basis. It's probably none, right? People are usually too worried about themselves and their issues to judge other people. Many people are more insecure than they let on, and they're focused on making sure nobody judges them. You are almost never as big a deal to strangers around you as you feel in your head. If someone is truly laughing at you, just know they are being a bad person and they need to change more than you do. Insecurity is a big reason for why people bully or spread rumors, because they think it will give them more power. This doesn't make it hurt any less, but it can help to remember that the most power you can have in that situation is to be kind and know your own worth. Because your worth isn't what some unimportant people think of you, it's inside you. There will always be people who are willing to talk to you, see your true self, and love and respect you for it. It isn't easy to get over that feeling, but it helps to work through it and try to think about it rationally.

This can be a really difficult feeling that's really hard to shake. Thinking I was being made fun of is one of the single most nerve wracking experiences I can really think of. One thing I did that helped me a lot with this feeling was working on my own self-confidence. I started journaling what I did each day, and would go back and look it at after a couple days or weeks. Looking at a log of everything I got done - even small things like "had a great talk with my aunt" - helped me to feel accomplished. When you grow in your self-confidence and self-esteem I think it helps you to realize that people aren't really looking as closely as you think.

It's hard when you realise/know people aren't laughing with you, but instead laughing at you, most of the time I just tell myself that if they can't say it to my face/tell me why they are laughing, then they aren't worth me spending my time worrying about them. We are always going to get judgement, from whoever it may be, but it doesn't mean we should change who we are or look down on ourselves for it. It's not your fault either, if people are laughing at you or making fun of you, it's because they are trying to make themselves feel better. They aren't necessarily bad people, they have just not been taught the right way.

It is tough to get over the feeling that people are laughing at you instead of laughing with you. I grow up knowing I am a little awkward due to the fact I am different in all sense of the word. I am not the typical suburban kid. The demographics of the town work against me. I learn that if I accept the fact that I will not be accepted by everyone. The only way I can get pass the uneasy feeling is acceptance. Even though I accept it, I will also accept myself and give myself self love. But most of all, surround myself with people who are positive. And remember the people who support me and laugh with me.

By telling myself that their actions shouldn't affect me. What I feel is within me, what they do is outside so They don't have the power to affect me. If I am feeling bad it's me who is in a illusion that they hold the power to affect the way I feel with their actions, and I end up hurting myself feeling lost in this illusion.
it's your life and yours only, it is possible for others to affect you physically (pain or pleasure), but when it comes to feeling or emotions, it all is within you, they can't reach there, so it's you and only you who can affect it. Once you realise this, you virtually become invulnerable, to almost everything.
