Insults!

If someone says yoyoing is stupid, agree with them and continue to yoyo.

That actually makes sense!

Haha! When ever I do that the person is like dumbfounded and has no idea what to next!

Seriously, ignore those people. They apparently have no lives and they chose to make fun of people to make themselves feel better, when in reality they are just losers who have no lives…no nothing! Quite frankly, I think they’re jealous because you know how to yoyo and do all these cool tricks, and they can’t do diddly squat, except for look for somebody to make fun of. Now, if you react to what they are saying, that means you are stooping down to their level and if they see that it bothers you, those people will keep doing it. So, just don’t let it bother you and ignore those losers and keep yoyoing, regardless of who is making fun of you. People make fun of other people, because they feel really bad about themselves inside and out and in order to make themselves feel better, they make fun of other people and put them down.

yoyoing is only one of about a half a dozen interests/passions that I pursue in life along with playing pool,riding a bicycle, performing card and coin tricks, chess, bla bla bla. No matter what you do, there will be haters. Whether it comes from jealousy or unhappiness or whatever, don’t forget those who appreciate and respect what you do(like US). Here’s a quote that’s stuck with me and served me well: “Listen, if you start worrying about the people in the stands, before too long you’re up in the stands with em’”

Yeah… because you definitely did that. /sarcasm.

Anyway, whenever I yoyo, I generally attract a crowd. Not wanting to be a jerk, I try to put on a nice performance. Ignoring the snide comments is easy, because there are usually more people enjoying it than hating on it.

Well i was just practicing new tricks, and when you are trying a new trick you cant perfect it. So when they see me miss the trick they call me a loser.

inobody would dare to make fun of me id kill them. but most peaple like it. 1 kid did it to get me mad and i punched him in the gut. then punched him in the face and it was over with. :slight_smile:

Well everyone was pretty skeptical about me yoyoing until I landed a trapeez :stuck_out_tongue:

no offense, but this post may be better placed in the “I’m awesome” thread. I think the o.p. was lookin for a lil advice on dealing with negative people and I’m not sure telling him to put on a performance so dazzling no one can deny you, will be of much use to him. Certainly something to aspire to tho.

No offense but this thread isnt about either of you…Its about the people who have no lives out there and have to take out their stupidity making fun of a hobbyist instead of using their energy to do a hobby themselves…That was my 2 minutes of wisdom for the day

Your wisdom wasn’t very smart. Neither of us asserted that the thread was about us.

You use big words :D…
It was more for the second part that was wise :stuck_out_tongue:

work out and become very very very buff. yoyo in a tight fitting shirt and flex if someone makes fun of you. grab them and start spinning the yoyo (brain twister). then let them go if they start to try to run. if they dont, spin it closer to their head/____ and then see if they start to run. if not… slowly get closer to their head and when it is about an inch… knee them in the ____. you dont want to dirty your yoyo.

If you’re good enough, the crowd watching you will pretty much wail on the skeptics.

It’s happened to me.

As they said, “We got yo back.”
