Should I…..

I don’t think killing yourself is necessary, just because someone requested it. Such a request was probably made out of insecurity on their part, or perhaps intimidation. If you stand out from the crowd, the simple minded will often be hostile toward you. It is often out of fear and sometimes out of jealousy and resentment of your freedom to be different. As you grow older, you will find that often, the high school jock marries the popular cheerleader, buys a decent home and becomes gainfully employed at a promising new company…and the outcast becomes his employer, marries someone of infinitely more magnitude, buys a fleet of fine homes and has the jock wash their collection of automobiles on the weekend.

I’m not saying it always works out that way, but I’m willing to make an assumption: The one who suggested you cancel your existence, does not seem as emotionally connected to his/herself, as you are. Probably because they are not. You probably are much more finely tuned to your emotions. I say this because if they were as connected as you, they wouldn’t say such things. With that in mind, know that while words may hurt you more than they hurt others, you will also experience many other emotions and feelings in your lifetime on a level much deeper than they could possibly imagine. Let them make their shallow insults…it’s pretty much all they’ve got.
