How do you deal with people who mock you?
People always mock because of weakness. Think about it… if you are ok, what need do you have to mock anyone ?So when they do it, they are trying to divert attention to you. But they are doing it for a reason… the reason is that the thing that they are mocking you for is something that they, very privately, have some insecurities with, and they would rather people “saw” those insecurities in you, not them.I don’t recommend meeting aggression with aggression. And mocking is really a type of aggression. So another option for you is to say that you understand. That you understand what the person is saying. That you get it. You acknowledge it.What are you saying with that ? You are not saying that it’s true. You are saying that you understand “it”. But what is “It” ? Is it that you are actually ugly/small/a failure ….. ? Or is it that you understand his/her insecurity ?The response is ambiguous, and not aggressive. It does not publicly accept what the mocker is saying, nor does it challenge the mocker to escalate. But it does allow him/her to maybe think that you somehow have spotted their insecurity. And the fear of that being exposed may make him/her think twice before reoffending.
Why is it okay to criticize and make fun of celebrities?
I’ve heard about that with my friends as well. A was commenting about how a girl should not wear what she is wearing because she is fat and it’s unflattering. B and C heard this and admonished A, telling A that the girl can wear whatever she wants despite her body size. Later on, B and C had a conversation about how they hated Kylie Jenner because she is fake (with her lips and stuff) and spoilt.I guess some of us are hypocrites, even me. We say we belief in this and that (not judging a book by its cover etc) but or actions contradicts our beliefs. It does not matter if that person is old, young, male or female, we all have our double standards. Coming back to your question, I do not think it is okay to criticise and make fun of celebrities. They are humans and have feelings too, they get hurt like us and are affected by mean and atrocious comments on social media. There are celebrities who have stated that they are affected by what they see and hear on social media about them. But criticisms just keep coming because nothing is being done to stop it. But with every mean comment about a celebrity, there will also be tons of comments from fans and loved ones to defend and support their celebrity.

I'm jealous of celebrities my age? What should I do?
actually their publicly sucks. think about it, sure they get paid a ton but why do you think. its because they have to deal with paparazzi, the media, rumors, and are pressured into contracts and other deals by porn magazines like playboy, and again like i say paparazzi (aka cosmo, etc.) also for example selena gomez and justin beiber...you think they"dated:" because they wanted to? not a chance it gets the medias attention. they were put up to it by their advisors because the more publicity you get as a celeberity, the more money you get paid, and so do the advisors
What is it like to be a celebrity?
Dancing around the trees , Having colourful sets for songs , all musicals and fancy dialogues is what we see in Bollywood no doubt.However the life of a celebrity is not as easy as it looks. With all the glamour comes a huge cost to pay.Unimaginable that life would be for an average human being with a basic salary and just enough to survive.Servants for the simplest jobs, everything in my hand , the most handsome men / women on their knees for me.Wow! Indeed everybody’s dream.However remember when you’re a public figure there’s a lot of pressure. Being a celebrity you’re seldom surrounded by genuine and caring people.Its a fake world with a fake life.Would you like living such fakeness ? Today you’re a celebrity everybody cares, you’re the face everybody wants to see , you give four flops and you’re all out. Nobody cares nobody dares to remember you.Your every word and action counts. Say something stupid , you’re labelled for life. Alia Bhatt doesn’t know the president of India ,she’s embarrassed for life , well how many men and women walking on the road know whose the current president of India.You copy or repeat the outfit you’ve worn you’re mocked at. Jokes are made on you’re failure. If an individual fails in life he doesn’t have the whole country taunting him. We get upset when a group of people in college make fun of us , imagine being a celebrity and being laughed at by the whole nation for a mistake you make.Imagine the transition from success to failure : a time when u walked and crowds gathered , people adored you and a time when now nobody knows you , nobody cares or even looks at you.Thus everyone has to pay a price for everything.Being rich or famous doesn't count in life. Being happy and content with oneself does.Well being a famous person is not always that bad being remembered for being the most gorgeous women of your time ? well who doesn't want that. Being called the most beautiful woman or handsome man of a nation , who wouldn't want it? But remember if u go up too much , you may very suddenly have to come down.
How do attractive women cope with constant staring in public places?
I've been asked to answer. Summary: It used to be flattering and sometimes funny. Nowadays it's uncomfortable and annoying. The difference is, I think, mainly in the demographic that's doing the staring. In high school and early college, I found the staring flattering and validating. I was not considered remotely attractive by the opposite gender (or anyone, really) until I turned 16, so the attention in those first several years was a novelty. At best, it was ego-boosting, and at worst, it was amusing. I rarely felt outright disgusted because most of the guys doing the staring were wide-eyed high school or college boys who were 1) not threatening or creepy and 2) not really cognizant of their lack of subtlety.However, for the past several years I've become increasingly uncomfortable with the staring. I don't like it and really wish, for the most part, that it wouldn't happen. When I go outside, I always take care to dress in a way that does not attract (or at least minimizes) catcalls and other unwelcome attention. It's a huge nuisance and something I wish I didn't have to deal with. I think I feel this way because the people who are doing the staring are no longer nerdy, clean-cut 18- to 22-year-olds but crazy, creepy, and often homeless people who won't think twice about following and harassing me. And when the harassing starts, I get angry. But that's a subject for another day.
Why do so many people hate Hillary Clinton?
For every person who "hates" Hillary there is probably one who "loves" her. People in the public eye, especially politicians, are going to be extremely controversial. In a country of almost 300 million people, with almost 300 million different opinions about everything, ANY prominent person, especially if she acquires fame or wealth through marriage, is going to attract (unfavorable) attention to herself and her more prominent supporters. The fact that Hillary (and many of her supporters) have often gone out of their way to offend and antagonise critics certainly adds fuel to the fire (remember her remarks about being "co-President" and "not staying at home to bake cookies..." On the whole, Hillary Clinton hasn't been criticised, attacked, or publicly demeaned any more (or less) than other people in her position, and I suspect that, like them, she gives as good as she gets. Of course, and this is true of politicians everywhere, Where there is smoke, there is usually fire. There IS a lot about them to hate, despise, and ridicule!! Hillary (and Bill) are certainly no BETTER than the average run of public official infesting the governments that misrules us. Most of the criticism and revulsion simply reflects this. If you doubt this, look at the last election, and how it clearly showed public outrage at Americans being lied to about Iraq by STUPID and his Republican stooges! Feminists and Democrats are certainly not the only ones in the firing line. I hope that my answer gave you a little perspective on Hillary-hate. I would rather live in a country where politicians, media celebrities, and high level bureaucrats and Judges ARE subject to unrelenting and (sometimes even unfair) scrutiny and criticism than one where everyone just obeys orders, and even worse, slobbers over and worships those cretins. How about you??
Why do some people enjoy humiliating others?
Have you read, 'The Life of I' by Anne Manne? She explores the relationship between humiliation and narcissism as one part of the book.Power is certainly part of it. Shame and humiliation are strong influences in human behaviour. Where people fail to fit into cultural norms, shame and humiliation are employed to either remove them from the society or change their behaviour to fit the norm.Strongly conservative and/or religious societies use these and hence maintain a dominant set of behaviours across generations.We could even look at the struggles for gender, race and sexual identity in western cultures as an example. Currently in Australia, marriage equality gets a lot of media coverage. All in all, most Australians support it.However, an angry and influential minority don't. The rhetoric around it is aimed to humiliate and shame same sex couples and their supporters.On a more personal level, the stakes are much higher. It's a power thing without a doubt.Whether it is a work place bully who targets certain colleagues or a family member or a partner. All aim to control the situation, regardless of how aware of it they actually are.They can be acting on personal vulnerabilities - attack them before they attack me. Or it could just be a life long pattern.I've experienced many in my life. What I can say is that their influence goes only as far as the target allows it in most situations (disregarding crowds and violence). If you have a strong sense of self, these people don't cut so deeply. Humiliation becomes a minor embarrassment.One more recent example would be when a husband of my wife's friend ran me down at their child's birthday party when he learnt that I could sew toys etc. That, of course, is a woman's job (so he clearly thought).I took it as a clear confession that I had life skills that he didn't and he didn't like it. His loss, not mine. He and his mates can chat about sports, I'll just talk to the rest of the party; the older generation, the wives and the children. I had a good time.Humiliation and shame are deeply embedded in our evolution. We will feel them throughout our lives without our control. But it's not always deserved and we can master our response.
