Stop caring what other people think of me

I am making a start on this one step at a time. Today I was playing a multiplayer video game and someone messaged me accusing me of deliberately disconnecting and saying they had reported me. I did try to point out that I was actually doing quite well at the game so had no reason to quit and wouldn’t do that anyway, I just had a temporary problem with my internet but they didn’t believe me. In the past I would have been worried and upset by what they said and gotten into an argument trying to prove my point. I even had a response written ready to go but suddenly I just thought why am I bothering with this person? They can believe what they want about me and it doesn’t have to affect me at all. In fact if they are still aggravated about this non-issue and I move on then I have automatically won. I do not need to prove anything. So I simply stopped responding and felt relieved. It is such a small thing but something that would have got under my skin before. Baby steps.

I got a third cat and did the most crazy cat lady thing ever by getting newborn pictures! IDGAF! I had a blast and they turned out soooooooo cute!
