Personally, although I do not encounter this, I would think positive thoughts about myself as I knew the name I was being called may not be true. The person calling me names could just be wanting to make me upset or lose my self confidence. The person that is calling names or trying to put people down may be experiencing some hard so asking them if they are okay might be a good thing to do.

You are not the only one, you don't have to care about them because nobody is youer than you! You don't have to care about what they think about you! Show that person who you are and show them that you will never care!

I myself had a boyfriend who verbally abused me. It took my a long time to realise what he was doing was verbal abuse. But after a friend helped me realise this I found it a lot easier to realise what damage that person was doing to my self esteem. All they are doing is causing you unhappiness and as soon as they are gone you will he a lot happier. Once you realise this letting them go will be a lot easier

Know who you are. If you do know your value and appreciate yourself as you are there's no reason to bother with what others are talking about you. There're a lot of trolls and you shouldn't doubt yourself because of them.

I'd talk to my friends and family, they'll give me the boost of support and confidence that I'd need.

Talk to someone or tell them to stop. If it gets serious get someone to help. You are not alone. Anyone around you who you trust can help.

I have been called nasty names by my family and random people on a daily basis, and it's certainly difficult trying to get over it. What I do in mot cases is try to understand the predicament they are in currently and learn 'why' they called me that. Other than that, just brush it off. Hope this helps in the slightest!

Know your worth. Know that you mean way more than that your beautiful. And nobody can destroy unless you let them.

Tell someone. What they are doing is wrong and it should be stopped as soon as possible. Tell an adult, or therapist, or anyone of authority. They aren't worth your time.

What I do is I name all the things that make me happy about myself. If you can't find some, then think of all the positive things in your life

Look in the mirror and call yourself amazing names, until you truly don't believe the nasty ones. :)

Try to believe in yourself and know that nobody has the right to call you any unpleasant names. Know that you are an amazing person, and that if someone is trying to tell you that you aren't, it's because they are unhappy and that it is not your fault. If you can help them, that's a brilliant thing to do, but if not, then believe that their words carry no weight.

Look to someone you trust. Ask them if they want to do something together, like eat dinner and watch a movie. Because the people you trust trust you, and you can safely assume that they believe you are a good person

For me the best way is to just plainly ignore everyone calling you names. What also worked for me was smiling to the ones and saying Hi back. Most people calling you names want to see you get hurt. Don't give them that satisfaction :)

Imagine them saying it in a ridiculous voice while doing something totally hypocritical surrounded by people laughing at them with you

Counteract each insult with a positive trait about yourself. Although mean words make you doubt your self worth, create your own self worth instead.
