You certainly have the behavior of junior lizards down pat. Having been on the recieving side of that one too often for comfort, I can relate.
I'm probably not expressing myself properly, and I think we're saying the same thing.
Of course what the groocery store lady says will affect you. No one lives in a bubble. And there really is a butterfly effect.
I think CBT comes in when a person doesn't have the capability of putting it into perspective and feels *just* as hurt as if it was - say - their mother calling him a lizard. I think we can all agree that type of reaction isn't good.
