Nicole Andree Karn Agreed. Don't waste your energy on those who
   don't like you and especially ""you're not too old"". I think
   the biggest eye opener was the day I realized that social
   standing is a game and that it's not *required* to play it;
   you'll only look foolish to those who are looking to find
   someone foolish looking; and people with good hearts will
   understand you completely and back you up, whatever you do. "
