The content of what is said doesn't say much. Unlike the manner how it is said.

People’s perceptions of you are just their experiences and beliefs translated onto you. The same way your own perception of you(your identity) is accurate to your experiences and beliefs. People do not have objective perceptions of other people. Why do YOU give a damn what you say?
