About This Quote

This quote is meant to convey that name-calling is hurtful only if the person engaging in name-calling believes that the words they are saying are true. If you believe that your name-callers are right, then they can truly sting you. But if they are wrong, it’s no big deal. The key is to remain confident about who you are and not to allow yourself to be wound up by others’ opinions.
