how would you react to someone calling you weak in the head

and how would you feel about the person that said that? has anything similar happened to you?

They'd be including themselves in my extensive list of limited-minded people. I can't remember ever having being called that though. I have been called arrogant... In a way, I guess I am.

Depends in "what context" and by "whom" was that used.

In many cases - we have individuals that project their own weakens on others - just so they can feel good about themselves, but different situations - imply different meanings... some examples

- if your girlfriend calls you weak when she's calm - then she's disappointed in you, but if she calls you weak wile having a fight - she just wants to hurt you cause she feels hurt about something and she'll say all kind of "mean things" at that point (same could apply for parents).

- if you're considered weak wile attending some activity (a game with friends or some sport) - then it can be about "being weak for the time being" or "maybe you don't fit the profile required for that type of activity" - you can take it as a hint that you "need to improve" - if you really like that activity and feel that you can be good at it - on the other hand it could be bad idea - if you don't like it that much and don't have a talent in that direction - but you're doing it anyway and trying really hard - just so you can impress someone.

...again - it's all about the context and whom does it comes from.

Anyone who calls you weak in the head, is weak in the heart. They don't realize how hurtful the nature of what they say is.

How would I react?

I'd chuckle, tell them they're entitled to their opinion and if a friend continue on, else, find somewhere else I had to be.

Here is truth, but it is just truth, without action, it is dormant.

An insult can only hurt you if you empower the one that insults you. If it comes from a stranger it is nothing more than words. Friends and acquaintances can be far more complex and there are probably underlying issues between the dynamic to cause such behavior.

But you have to be able to judge yourself. Do you apply yourself, do you study, do you try to learn new things, do you exercise your mind?

If you are satisfied with the way you take in and impart knowledge and experience then whatever someone says about you is irrelevant.

The shock of a harsh opinion stings a little bit, but it can only do deep damage if it stirs up something within you that you are trying to avoid.

In that situation, listen to your internal voice. Learn to listen closely, very closely. It may be asking for a lot from you, in which case, let it know that it has been heard and you will try to incorporate the suggestion into your life.

Many do not like having frank, on the level conversations with their inner voice. Life is however, more peaceful, if you can learn to talk to it "on the level".

I'd think they were weak because they couldnt tell me the the truth. I've been called just about everything, but not weak in the head.
