"If someone is casually picked on in that “it’s all in good fun but it’s also kind of true so still possibly hurtful” kind of way, and they can’t seem to retaliate with wit, I try to follow up with a positive spin or a counter burn if possible.
Whenever the opportunity presents itself, I try to acknowledge and encourage other people in subtle ways. I always hated the social spotlight because of poor self esteem, but I find that the kind of attention i get from this is just wonderful. Also it has the added benefit of making everyone love you."
