“My way of dealing with it is to not engage, there is no point in engaging because you're stooping down to their level. And it's truly a reflection of how they feel at that current time. It's not really a reflection of who you are as a person.” — @wilxlee [0:01:05]
“You have to protect yourself. Because at the end of the day, people are going to take whatever you give them.” — @ericosiu [0:01:30]
