Bitter people

I feel sorry for bitter people... We have some bitter people in our world... Very bitter!! It's so sad to see the bitterness that exists in our world. People hate people they've never met. People live to dish out unsolicited opinions. My heart hurts for the bitter people in the world. I just have to keep my head held high and pray for them, literally. How should you handle bitter people? I've found that if I say something to a bitter person I don't hear from them anymore. It's almost like bullying. They don't like themselves, their life, or their situation so they want to take their anger and hurt out on others. If you let them take out their bitterness on you everyday then they will do it forever, but when you stand up and punch them in the mouth with a dose of "real talk" you may never hear from them again. I'm not saying entertain foolishness but if person tries to bully you with bitterness more than once then you have to check them just so they know you're not the one to be messed with. I have men and women coming at me sideways online and I have to check them quick. After I check them I don't hear from them anymore. Sometimes the cure for bitterness is just putting a mirror in their face and letting them see how ugly they look wearing that bitterness. If it honestly doesn't bother you then don't address them.. but if it does bother you then you have to let them know that you will not carry the names and things they're calling you... How to know if you're bitter.. - You hate on people you've never met - You break your momma's rule about not saying anything if you don't have something nice to say - You go out of your way to give your unsolicited opinion to others - You make it your job to talk about what you don't like about other people's life, job, grind, etc - You gain fame and recognition from being a hater - You only support people that look just like you and think just like you How to get over bitterness.. - Forgive everyone that has hurt you - Stop comparing yourself to others - Remember that your perception of them is not their reality, it's only your reality - Read the Holy Bible, a self-help book, affirmation cards, SOMETHING POSITIVE - Embrace everything about yourself and find the beauty in your uniqueness I could go on and on but I hope this helps cure bitterness a little bit...
