<<<You can only feel hurt by someone's words if a) you inwardly believe them to be true about you or, b) you respect the person saying it.>>> That is a common psychobabble cliche, with just enough truth in it to lend it specious credibility. Life offers an infinite variety of ways of being hurt by words, or implications, or nuances, or absences of words; and only some of them require a belief in their 'truth' or 'respect' for the speaker. I'll give just one example: You can know that untrue words spoken against you will be believed by others, and that may be painful to you.
