The more you ignore them the more you would become vulnerable to their hate. It is better to find their weakness and then downgrade them infront of everyone. In today's time everyone has some kind of addiction. You can use that as a weapon to defend yourself rather ignoring them. No one is a saint in these times.
.You are correct; we should always target their flaws and exploit them. We are humans, and our actions are frequently both beneficial and detrimental. Obviously, we are not saints who always do the right thing; rather, we should address what causes our faults and find a method to correct them right away. People around us will always look for our problems, so we must either react or ignore them. In my opinion, I would just choose to ignore them since I don't have time for problems, and I have more useful things to accomplish with my precious time.
We must be people who show that we are above many social prejudices, including those, I have a very positive attitude towards everything, apart from the fact that I am somewhat shameless, but one of my peculiarities is that before society, I am somewhat direct. and I say things up front, which nobody expects, because we live in a society where people like hypocrisy, so if a person calls me an addict, I would first tell them that it is not their problem if I am. or not, if that affects you and why, and thirdly I tell you to worry about your problems because you must have many, and that you only use that way of expressing yourself to be able to have a certain acceptance in society, and like most of people know who I am, they don't tell me or mess with me, I think that attitude helps a lot.
Sometimes the personality of each one of us can affect positively or negatively, as in society I am someone normal, who has his profession, who does not attract attention, who adapts to the system as if it were a lifetime and no longer existed, They cannot determine when I play or not in a casino, particularly the people who are or are going to play in a physical casino are what they can call addicts, however if I go to a casino every day and play it is not because of the rest , but there is always someone out there who says or asks what I am doing, or something like that, if I tell them that I am in a casino, the fastest they can tell me is that I did get addicted, and I would say no, because you have to Knowing how to play and also that is something normal, I play as far as I allow myself to lose money, and I think that after that it doesn't happen anymore, if they speak badly or something like that, they will simply do it behind my back, which really doesn't matter to me .
