Well Dilbert, you miss the point as well. It isn't about what lowlifes think of you. I don't care what they think of me at all. In fact, if those scumbags liked me I would have to wonder what was wrong with me.
But the harassment, ESPECIALLY from a neighbor you can expect to be around constantly, has a negative effect anyway. As I said, I don't care what they think - but the fact that I can't get through a day without being abused fills me with rage. I would happily be judge, jury, and executioner, and shoot all of these a**holes through the head and then go on my merry way, serene in knowing I had made the neighborhood, and the world, a better place. But I'm not allowed to do that - I am powerless to retaliate at the level that would be just. That furthers my rage and stress.
I congratulate you that you do not have a problem with these types of feelings. I am envious of that level of control. But that control does not stem from a high self-esteem, which I have in abundance.
Dilbert is right about some things. Her sister lives a couple doors down. I don't think my neighbor shows a lot of respect to her.
Dtoxic. You are 100% right. It is impossible for the harrassment to not effect anyone.
