whether you doing good or bad people will always have something to say about you, and that's where you have to realise it's not what you say the matters but it's what you answer to. sometimes it's hard to stomach negative things said about you but that negativity you got to it turn into positivity. and after all people are entitled to their opinions. and when someone says your better it's because they see that you are indeed better they just didn't have the nerve to tell you, instead they wanted you to feel bad. admire the person you are and never wish to be someone else but wish to be better than you.

"as long as you are worried about what others think of you, you are owned by them. only when you require no approval from outside yourself can you own yourself."
