You shouldn't care about what they say to you. You have to ignore it and move on with your life. They don't deserve to be in your future, so why listen to the terrible things they're saying? If you ignore them, they'll stop because they'll see that you're not affected by it anymore. People becomes bullies because they feel less than others, so they need to be put up above someone else; the weakest link and that's how they see you. So stand up to them, insult them back. Fight back against them, you can even walk away from them. If they're not going to be in your life, then they shouldn't matter to you. Keep your chin up and keep smiling because we need more happiness in this world

Block them from your life, your phone, your social media and from any where else. Don't allow people in your life that are mean to you. Don't fall into the drama trap. Just close the door on them and move on with your life. Surround yourself with positive, people who love you just as you are.

The best way to get over someone calling you nasty names is to be sure in who you are. To be distraught over someone else calling you a name you do not like to be called is to believe they're right or that they hold some kind of power over you to tag you as something you don't want to be tagged or labeled as. That said, you need to ask yourself why on Earth you'd believe such ridiculousness? When something feels wrong, it is wrong. Knowing so is grounds for a laugh. There's always grounds for a laugh.

I know verbal bullying can really hurt but just remember that you are the lead of your own life and although people say mean things you have the ability to prove them wrong. Also remember that bullies who verbally abuse people are usually very hurt inside even though they may not show it. We all have our troubles and some people are just better at hiding it. Instead of being hurt from the bully try and sympathize with them.

To get over it, one must first remember that they are loved, cherished and important. That They're amazing people and they are perfect just as they are. If one loves oneself, they can find it easy to deal with name calling.but yea, if it gets too overboard, one must try reporting it to the concerned authorities ( teachers, HR department etc). Also, i personally believe in ' killing them with kindness' as they require some of it desperately and they get humbled when faced with kindness being shown to them.

Finding a name for yourself, which fits one of your good personality / phisical traits, and keep that in mind, while understanding: Someone calling you nasty names, is not trying to look into your complex human assesment, and is only able to highlight one bad thing in you.

Talk to someone you care about on how you feel when people call you nasty names. Don't hold how you feel inside.

It is always tough when a little comment or "joke" hurts you. It's hard to hear rude things about you. The key, though, is your reaction. Each person has the strength to power through the negativity. You have the strength. Maybe confide in a friend or find happiness elsewhere, like playing with your pet. It's okay to feel sorry for yourself, but only for so long. Remember, your harasser is most likely hurting inside and taking it out on you.

You know yourself the best. The person calling you names is most likely feeling insecure themselves, so they are projecting their insecurities onto you. You know your strengths and your weaknesses, so base how you view yourself on what YOU know, not what other people think they know.

Best way is to believed in yourself and acknowledge the good traits you possess. These positive characteristics are what makes you unique. The person who generally calls person nasty names usually have personal problems and intend on hurting others to make then unhappy. Don't let them win by believing them. You just believe in who you are and if you have any bad units that you want to get rid of take your time and work on becoming the better you but don't do it to please them. Do it to be more confident in yourself and who you are.

It’s a tough experience, I know. Remember that the things they call you are reflections of their own inside hurt, directed at you as a means of self-help. False help, true, but still all they know to do. It is likely they have had no support for friends, family, or other. Do your best to understand this. Remember that you are a human being who is incredible and worth it. You are valuable, perfect, and inflated. There is NOTHING wrong with you. If these things continue to upset you, find support in friends and family. Talking to someone always helps.

I'm sorry you got called nasty names! That is so rude and hurtful and it is completely understandable that it affects you. One way to help get over it is practicing self-care to improve your confidence. This can mean different things for different people. Maybe every morning you write down a couple things that you like about yourself. Maybe you spend more time with people who make you feel good about yourself. Maybe you learn a new skill. If you're confident in yourself, you won't care as much about what others think! While it may hurt a lot now, these things tend to get easier with time. It won't always hurt this much!

You have to look at these names and think if it’s true or not. And it’s not because everyone’s a gem wether you know it or not and everyone’s equal and has flaws. Society’s way of thinking is messed and has to change that because if we don’t then no one will ever see true beauty in their self if everyone thinks being beautiful is being skinny make up and hairless

Be the bigger person and ignore them. If they resume, report the offender to the authority figure of your area. Know that the names they call you are not true and do not define you. If you experience further harassment, contact the police or someone who can apprehend the offender. If the name-calling causes feelings of anxiety and/or depression, please contact a listener of 7 cups or a medical professional before the feelings worsen as they may cause you to do something that can harm you or the people around you. Surround yourself with people who positivity impact you and make you feel happy.
