About defending another person

Hello...

I guess my writer's block has shied away and hid itself in a very distant corner coz I really am in the mood to write now.

There are not a lot of things happening in my life right now but I do need to ask one question >>> How would you feel if your "friends" are doubting your ability and your brain? I might not be the brightest person in the world, but I do have feelings. Sometimes, people take you down for no reason whatsoever when all you did was to try to make them understand that we should not penalize a person based on one silly incident. I tried to remain neutral when these "friends" b***h about other people because I have always believed that there is a good side to everyone, especially someone who has never done anything to me and who is always nice to me. So when these "friends" actually gossiped about this someone, I tried to remain neutral and tell them how I feel and how sometimes we do make mistakes but my effort was useless as I was practically taken down and insulted. Hmmph... So much for wanting to let them see the glasses half full. So, from now on, I will just shut my mouth and try not to defend anybody in front of them. Let them be negative all by themselves and I'm going to let them think I'm stupid. They can think whatever they like for all I care. I'm not intimidated enough to do anything about it coz unlike the rest of us, I am confident about myself and my abilities. Heheh...
