"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

So apparently, my future sister-in-law thinks I intentionally try to make her feel stupid. Anyone who actually knows me knows that, yes, I can make people feel stupid, without realizing I'm doing it, fairly often. However, if I actually wanted to make someone feel stupid, I could send them home in tears to sob pathetically in a corner while carving 'I'm so stupid' into their arm (or leg I guess).

It just makes me so sad that people will let someone make them feel stupid. It takes a person with very low self-worth or self-respect to feel that way. Eleanor Roosevelt said 'No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.' This woman, who was indeed an incredibly smart woman, and a gift to humanity, is absolutely, 100% right. No one can, indeed no one should (but there are so many assholes in the world that it will always happen), make anyone feel stupid. And if you, reader, do let someone make you feel that way, please remember that you are a valued and loved person, you are a beautiful soul, and there is no reason to let someone make you feel that way. Hold your head up high and strut your stuff. Don't listen to what the haters say, and keep telling yourself that you are a gem, a good person, and you have no reason to feel that way.

So, for you few loyal readers, here's a transcript of the very public attack she made on me. I'm also including the picture and caption that all of this was posted on, and a tag to the post, though I don't know if my page is private or not. For the sake of honesty, I'm not even going to edit the pictures to cover the names. If she wants to spread around that she 'put an arrogant bitch in her place', then by all means, let's show them how she did so.

For anyone reading, please please PLEASE tell me where I tried to make her sound stupid. In the last posts, she says I asked for help and I'm still trying to figure out where I did that. All I did was post a photo of onion rings and captioned 'They aren't pretty, but they're good.' Is that some unspoken cry for help that I'm just not seeing? Or is that something stupid people think is me asking for help.

The stupid returns later, when she posts a Facebook status:

Oh, and that Glenda person there is my mother-in-law. So now, she probably thinks that I'm just horrible because she hasn't had a chance to hear my side of the story.

Throughout this whole ordeal, I strove to maintain a maturity level well above the 'high school drama queen' immaturity she has shown. For a person like me, it took a lot, and I mean A LOT, of restraint to not only not stoop to her level, but to not retailiate at all. As much as I despise stooping to her level, I am only venting on this form of social media because a tiny, snide part of me hopes that while googling herself (because we all do that every so often) she finds this post, and not only sees that I portrayed the entire story, both sides of the conversation unaltered in screenshot form, but also sees any comments that might be made by anyone who gives a shit, or anyone just likes to weigh in on 'stupid people' conversations. 

Sorry I don't know how to make the pictures open up larger.
