When someone tells you that you won’t achieve something does that make you want to prove them wrong?
I am still hurt by what this middle aged chick and her pathetic senior citizen sidekick at my church said.This chick named Rochelle tried to make me feel bad just because I don’t follow the crowd.She said that I won’t be successful just because I don’t always wear suits to church or fancy clothing.I am at church to get the word of God.I am not there for a fashion show.Its church,not a fashion runway.She said that God won’t bless me as much just because I don’t wear suits.She said I won’t get a husband just because I don’t go all out as far as clothing.
I just feel this drive to prove her wrong.She is basically saying that I will end up as a failure.
When someone tells you that you won’t achieve something, does that push you to try even harder?

Does it just drive you more to achieve your goals when people tell you you won’t achieve something?

It’s obvious she really hurt your feelings. She’s a jerk, you find them everywhere and you don’t have to prove yourself to anyone who acts so lowly. Please, like god even cares if you wear something “fancy” to church or second hand clothes. It’s what is in your spiritual heart that counts. If someone says something negative to me, I really just brush it off because I only care what I think about the things I do.
yes !! whenever someone puts me down or makes fun of me for something i am interested in, i dont become sad and depressed, i become motivated ! thats a good thing, though. keep it up and prove those church goers wrong !
it will drive you to succeed more but u wont be doing it to prove her wrong, shes not wirth it, and will recieve no benefit from any good u do in your life. sometimes it goes the other way, something called a self fulfilled propecy. for example if a teacher always see’s the wors in a pupil, always accuses him when something bad happens, always tells him he is useless and will not succeed in life. say this boy was naughty once and gets blamed for every single thing that happens after that when really he is trying to change but no one will give him the benefit of the doubt, eventually he will start thinking to himself, no matter what he does people will always see him as being bad so he might aswel BE bad, because he will never be seen as good cause no one will give him a chance. this is how a lot of ppl end up not achieving their ambitions but i think with u its a case of a snotty woman at church whom u need to prove nothing to
There is a lesson to be learned here. She stirred something up in you or you would not be upset. The worst thing is of course to now go prove to the world you are “worthy”. The problem is, you never get there. Get all dolled up for next Sunday and see what you get. Rochelle may be your biggest fan and wants you to have it all. She just thinks a suit might help by getting you off of, I’m my own woman, I’ll do it my way, I’ll show you! By the way, your way (prove to everyone) is exhausting and leads to nowhere. Good luck this sunday.
She really hurt you didn’t she . She is stupid for saying you can’t do those things cause I know u can.People have told me you can’t do this you can’t do that but I proved them wrong and so can you .
Remember people only know what you can do not what you can’t.
You can quote me. ; )
you should tell that a TRUE follower in God will know that He loves all his children the same. whether you dress nice or not, you still go to pray to him and that’s all that matters. in my opinion dressing fancy is all show and will not help you get to heaven. however dress appropriately dont go to church wearing a devil costume lol
you shouldnt get mad over something petty like that. she’s one person and really bad person at that. you cant let your life be controlled by criticism or then you’ll be everyone else’s bitch.
it’s your life, you live it the way you see it fit. her views on being successful may be different from yours so who cares? God understands that you come to get His word and that’s all that matters. as long as you imply it to your daily life.
yeah of course because otherwise that just mean they’re right!
but it does depends
