What to do when someone says you are pathetic?

When someone calls you pathetic, it's important to stay calm and not react impulsively. Take a moment to assess the situation and consider whether their comment has any validity or if it's simply a reflection of their own issues. You can choose to respond assertively by expressing that their comment is hurtful or dismissive. Ultimately, focus on self-affirmation and surround yourself with supportive people who appreciate you.
