What's the red pill way of dealing with public humiliation? A news story got out on me with a rather old picture when I was overweight. I'm still in the process of losing but I look better. How do I handle this when I live in a small town and everyone has seen it? I feel embarrassed ashamed and it's bringing out all the exs i had out the wood work and they are slandering me on the news article.

Do I just go amused mastery ? Do I laugh any nasty comment off?
