    Hello Luca
    I have found that if people are judmental they will pick on you no
    matter what you do. I have been treated badly for being a woman,
    riding a motorcycle, being fat, and being ill. It all passes with
    time and being angry just gives you high blood pressure after the
    years of stress. You are as bad as they are if you react the way that
    they want you too. They are placing you in a spot in their reality.
    Most of us are not what others expect or try to force us into being.
    It also makes it so you attract other things to make you angry and
    trap yourself in a cycle. It is like being a hamster in a wheel going
    40 miles an hour and ending up in the same place when you are done.
    The only thing I have found that helps is to do Metta meditation
    and send loving-kindness to yourself. To Forgive yourself for putting
    yourself in the situation where the things happened that upset you.
    IIH is really good for you because in the Soul mirror work you can
    see your personality and change what you don't like. You can only
    control yourself and what you do in this life. Anger, ego, pride,
    hate and ignorance are some of the worse things that can hold you
    back from enjoying life and liking yourself. You can't make anyone
    else see what you were saying or try to understand something they
    don't want to understand. You can only make it where you like
    yourself and know yourself as a real person.
