See, here's his response to your response. Notice the word "Actually." Now that he knows you can accept blatant reality, he becomes more informative. For CC, it's a good tactic. Oh, his response:
"Actually, it is very seldom that they are REALLY thinking of you when people put you down. They are almost always doing it for something that it satisfies in THEMSELVES. You really aren't their primary focus, THEY are."
My opinion of WillieT...I can't say. He would get hurt.
Tears.

I agree with Willie-T. I feel sorry for people who have to throw out mean comments at people around them. It is a reflection of the state of their own souls. They are self-righteous, arrogant, unforgiving, self-centered, and weak. They need to attack others to build up their own egos. They are a long way from God, the One who provides forgiveness for sin without cost to all who believe in Christ.
Yes, I seldom just give a flat answer to an OP's question. The reason?
I was in a profession/vocation for a few decades that taught me that the first thing a person brings up is seldom the REAL problem they want to address. Even here, it often takes several posts of dancing around the OP's opening post to get to what they REALLY want to talk about.

This whole thread is centering on one of Jesus' pet peeves with us.... "Fear of Man."
He was never really speaking about us fearing that men might take a weapon to us. He was addressing the fact that we will often alter both our thinking and our actions based upon the fear we have that we may not be accepted by others if we don't.
And that will too often alter our beliefs about Him. Not a good thing, at all.
