Possible reactions to insults and compliments (version 0.1)

1: Insults make you feel really bad, compliments make you feel really good
2: Insults make you feel really bad, compliments make you feel nothing because they're default or expected
3: Compliments make you feel really good, insults make you feel nothing because they're default or expected
4: Neither compliments nor insults change your mood or self-esteem (because of sadness/apathy)
5: Neither compliments nor insults change your mood or self-esteem (because you already feel good about yourself anyway).
6: Neither compliments nor insults change your mood or self-esteem (because you feel bad about yourself in any case).
6: Insults make you feel terrible, compliments only give you a mild happiness
7: Compliments make you feel wonderful and very happy, insults only give you a mild annoyance/disappointment
8: Insults don't change your mood or self-esteem at all, compliments only give you a mild happiness
9: Insults don't change your mood or self-esteem at all, compliments make you feel very happy
10: Compliments don't change your mood or self-esteem at all, insults only give you a mild annoyance/disappointment
11: Compliments don't change your mood or self-esteem at all, insults make you feel terrible

-Ratio-dependent reactions:

1: Having 100% of people compliment you makes you feel neutral, having even one person insulting you makes you feel terrible.
2: Having 100% of people compliment you makes you feel a bit comforted but you still feel sad, having even one person insulting you makes you feel terrible.
3: Having 100% of people compliment you makes you feel mildly happy, having even one person insulting you makes you feel terrible.
4: Having 100% of people compliment you makes you feel very happy, having even one person insulting you makes you feel terrible.
5: Having 100% of people compliment you makes you feel [insert one of the feelings above... otherwise this text would be too long if I had to include all of them separately], having one person insult you is not a big deal.
6: Having 100% of people compliment you makes you feel [again, one of the feelings above], having one person insult you doesn't change your mood compared to 100% people complimenting you. It's just one person, after all.
7: Having 100% of people compliment you makes you feel [one of the feelings above], having one person insult you makes you feel satisfied because of (1: "diversity of opinion" or, 2: "it's fine that not everyone likes me, we're all different, after all" or, 3: "I'm awesome since everyone likes me, but listening to that person who dislikes me can give me the opportunity of improving my own faults!" or 4: something else).
8: In order for you to feel happy or have a good self-esteem, at least 90% people should compliment you. Insults are fine if they do not exceed 10% of the people you know.
9: In order for you to feel happy or have a good self-esteem, at least 50% people should compliment you. Insults are fine if they do not exceed 50% of the people you know.
10: It is not the percentage itself that you consider, but you compare your percentage to others. If 85% people compliment you, you feel like you're better than someone who is complimented by 80% of but not as good as someone who is complimented by 90% of people.
11: It is not the percentage itself that you consider, but you take into consideration your relationship with those people, and you do not weigh every compliment and insult equally. A compliment or an insult by someone you know well and is close to you has much more weight than a compliment or insult made by an acquaintance, or someone you don't know well, let alone by a stranger, or someone you don't like.

-Compliments and insults do not affect how you see yourself or others
-Compliments and insults do not affect how you see yourself but they affect how you see others
-Compliments and insults affect how you see yourself but not how you see others
-Compliments and insults affect both how you see yourself and how you see others

Seems like these issues stem from conformism, the desire for one's opinion to fit with that of the majority, or at least, the belief that because something is believed by the majority, then it's somehow "more valid" than a belief you hold that only you have, or few people have.
