I don't even see why you should let the views of these shallow
muppets(referring to those rejecting/shunning you without even
knowing you to begin with) affect you - excuse me if I should sound
arrogant here, but I have to say Michaelangelo's famous quote on
friendship( "I have no friends - need none, want none" ) couldn't
be more succinctly applied than to these people...
Let's face it : I don't think these are worthy friends to begin
with(at least, I know these are the people I'd only be too glad if
our paths never crossed).
