No other’s words can make you feel a certain way, good or bad.  How you feel in response to one’s words is always, always a result of your interpretation of them.  Should another be radiating less than positive energy, you may be sensing this at a non-physical level and this is felt in the physical body as discomfort.  If one does physical harm to you, then of course you would feel this in a less than positive way.  When it comes to words, however, you have instantaneous control over your reaction.

How often do you say, “Oh, she makes me so mad,” or “He makes me feel so good.”  Reexamine these beliefs if you wish to find peace.  In regards to verbal exchanges, all comes back to your thoughts.  If you are feeling bad, get to the root cause.  This is a simple lesson today—one of the most basic—but because of ego’s influence, it is also one of the most difficult to remember.
