...*the other day, i got called a "stupid tree hugger" and some various other words that i'm not really willing to repeat..what should i do about it? i didn't react the way i think that they wanted me to, which would be to scream and shout at them i guess. what should i do about it? cause i really wish it would stop... thanks! peace, stephanie
tell them that if they are looking for a reaction of you yelling and screaming you will not do it because it could hurt the trees by putting so much anger in the carbon dioxide you give them if possible just ignore them...its better to not give them the same negativety that they give you. if they want to continue and you feel you need to say something just tell them you arent ignoring them because you are frightened or offended but rather because life is too short for such negativity and to waste your time with people who don't even want to know you
Similar things happen to me...and we must smile and simply take in stride. There isn't much you can do to change those individuals' minds. Just smile at them and say something positive to them...maybe it will jolt them in the right ways. Ignoring them works, too.
