don't let them. They gain some measure of power over you when they do this to you. Sadly, you must move beyond them, and live your life. You've already attempted to help them, didn't seem to do one bit of good, and re-injure themselves deliberately in order to gain a voice that they feel that they couldn't get otherwise.

Seems like another shade of our racists and other such as them to get a voice, any voice. Sadly, they never realize that it is them that's causing their ongoing issues (that they hyperventilate on endlessly).

No matter what you say, what you do, it's not good enough.

Enough, I say! Move on and live life to the fullest. Know that they alone, can only deal w/ their issues, not you.
