Not taking anything personally is the key to remaining unbothered and confident.

When somebody is disrespectful towards you, it’s about their insecurities, not you.

Learn to let their comments roll off of you, like oil in water. Don’t absorb their toxicity. Treat these toxic situations like a test to your inner strength and character. Stay solid, assertive and unfazed. Let them know that no one can break your character.

​Jean noticed how Andrew and Neil moved like they were caught in each other’s gravity, in each other’s space more than they were out of it, cigarette smoke and matching armbands and lingering looks when one fell out of orbit for too long.
