This has happened to me a lot.. during work, my job.
My best friend told me, to take it like a grain of sand, its that small. Be the bigger person, help someone out, let your soul feel that amazing feeling, of when you do something good and make a difference in someones life. Little things make all the difference, also, your choice in general to be positive after a bad situation. Which reminds me of the poem, 'The Road Not Taken' by Robert Frost [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Anyways my dear, I have faith in you, you can do it, just believe in yourself.

Ignore them.
Walk away.
Respond with, "Thanks for the comment, but that's not how I see myself. I'm sorry you feel that way, but I don't."
Turn it into constructive criticism.
Realize they're insecure and/or they have nothing better to do with their time than try to make you miserable.
Don't give the satisfaction of your reaction. (Ex. cry, or try to respond with comebacks, etc.,)
Negative reactions are obviously a no-no.


Good luck,
Jess

say something along the lines of "wow, do you really think so?" and maybe ask why. but don't say anything back that is mean because then you will be proving their point.

Ignore them, or say something like, "I'm sorry you feel that way." or "Ok, if that's honestly how you feel." Or just smile and walk away.
- Don't say anything rude back, as it will probably only make things worse.

Ignore them. Don't retaliate. It just shows you're a stronger, better person. and ignoring will also annoy them. ;)
