yes, you did overreact *slaps Bri upside the head*

Someone here says something that treads over those lines then just ignore them. Chances are it's not meant as harshly as you think; or it's meant harshly but from someone who isn't your friend and whose personal opinion of you is therefore of zero importance.

Sometimes it's worth reminding oneself of very simple and obvious things. Stuff that tends to get lost in the sturm and drang of it all. We can be surrounded by people of whose good opinion we can be sure, and yet the one person in the room who doesn't seem to regard us highly is the one we fixate upon. That person ends up carrying undue weight in our minds.
