Journal Prompt #6
Date 08/04/2021
Prompt: How do you handle attacks on your character?
Most petty and snide comments can be ignored. If someone has a true issue with who I am, I will always try to talk the issues out, and live civilly with whatever the outcome is. I don't have the energy or mental capacity to harbor ill feelings for long. If I ever do react impulsively to an attack on my character, I am often quick to apologize not wanting my own words to affect another.
