For me if someone says I'm garbage at something it just makes me want to prove them wrong and I work 10 times harder to learn it and to perfect it just to show them up. Just my 2 cents though

That reminds me of the episode of King of the Hill, of a scrabble tournament, Peggie gets scared by going against the champion first off. Hank tries to help her by showing what his foot ball coach would have done(something like this)...YOU ARE TERRIBLE, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE PLAYED FOOTBALL FROM THE START(i was laughing).

REALLY I WAS THINKING... Practice 20 times, I don't get insalted easily, but if i got told to work ten times harder next time harder, I would have understood...Sometimes garbage can tear down some of the strongest walls.
