Is this person weak emotionally?

Question

My acquaintance told me he wants to report an incident to the dean in which someone called him a fat ugly nerd who cant get a woman. He told me the email destroyed his life and he lost focus on his studies. Never before have I heard a male get this heartbroken over a silly insulting email. Is it because he is weak emotionally?

Answer 1

I think that maybe he knows the fact himself and hearing someone else say it out loud made him really sad.

Answer 2

No offense, but have you thought about what you are asking? Do you really know yourself? Are you anti racist? You, dear, have just put yourself into a female chauvinist pig, category. Denying men the right to emotions and feelings. Why would anyone get upset by racist slurs/racism? How could it possibly destroy any ones life? Never before have i heard of any Caucasian ppl, get so upset over silly insulting names. Could it be that other cultures are emotionally weak? Why do women get upset over the C*nt, name, have they no confidence, get over it.
In anger, my dear, a name, is a name. What is unfair to one, should be unfair to another, both being based on looks. Who might you be to question anothers breaking point. Sooner or later, life often answers questions for us, by giving us the ultimate privilege of experiencing these burdens first hand. It very well could be, that you may end up with a child, who has a weight problem. And i promise you, the cruelty bestowed upon your child for life, from all angles, for no reason, by those known and unknown in society, is 1000 times worse than having a weight problem yourself. Society is the worlds most hypocritical source.....so are those sources who suggest diets, but never had the need for one, what is too stop them from the experience of trying....same goes for those who speak of confidence issues, as we all know they were "GIVEN" confidence, they did not earn it, they did not work for it. Nor have they EVER experienced childhood problems that might rob them of it. Fact is, try as you will, kids understand your their parents, love them and will say anything to make them feel better, at this stage in life, it is the outside world that matters when it comes to inner acceptance. I mean really think, good looking, intellegent, confident, guy/girl young or adult, get in car accident is let burned/disfigured. Why does their confidence hit rock bottom in every case??? Why do you think cosmetic surgery started?, for nose and boob jobs? THINK about what your saying or would you tell them to get over something you couldn't handle yourself.

Answer 3

The truth hurts. However, it doesn't have to be the truth if he is committed to taking control of his life and making some changes. He should focus on his positive attributes and remember that no one is perfect. I don't think he is necessarily an emotionally weak person because he may just be depressed.

Answer 4

I think it's more on lack of confidence in yourself that is why he can easily succumb to other people's criticism. If you have a lot of self confidence in yourself these comments by other people will not let you down. No one is perfect and neither does the people who made this e-mail. You rise above this no good individuals and if he want he can even prove them wrong.

Answer 5

If this upset him than maybe he needs to take a look at himself and work out eat good & Less> Make a change for himself>

Answer 6

He probably has low self esteem and that really affected him.

Answer 7

this guy has severe self esteem issues. i feel sorry for him. he should do something to boost his ego...get in shape etc.
