How to live and not survive?

Despite hearing so many people calling me by various names ("short heightened,", "a girl with tiny hands"- it's genetic to be honest, "Ramaiya Vasavaiya"- fact: my name means beautiful or beauty of all goddesses, to name a few. I learned the way to ignore, give befitting replies wherever and whenever needed and lastly, never underestimate myself because of others' opinions!

So how do you keep going when these things keep bothering you?

There will be people who keep making fun of you each and every day, every time till the time you become exhausted. One cannot ignore always and ignoring is not the solution in certain situations. Sometimes, people might feel ashamed to talk about this. The best way to remove the stress from it is talk to people who are a text or a call away. Talk to somebody who understands you. They will do things that are best according to them, be it giving advice, making you smile, empathise with you or any other solution.

Never think that "people are making fun of me, I am not worth it, I am a defective person from every angle". It's that person's opinion, it's their thinking. They have not undergone things that you have undergone, the point of their opinion becomes zero.
