I can really understand you, and am certainly no different myself. What gets me going is when I´m trying my very best to do something, which others maybe don`t even bother doing, and being put down. It is then that I remember what my father said, “those who don`t do anything don`t make any mistakes!”. What I have experienced a lot of times, with some considerable embarassment, is that there is usually a good reason why people react in certain ways.
