“No one can continually insult you or hurt your feelings without your permission.”

Simplified Meaning:
People can only upset you or make you feel bad if you let their words or actions affect you. Imagine you're in school, and someone calls you a mean name. If you ignore it or don't believe it, the insult won't bother you. However, if you dwell on it and start believing what they say, it will hurt your feelings. This idea teaches us that we have control over how we react to others. If we choose not to take their insults personally, they lose their power to hurt us. In daily life, it means we should try to build self-confidence and not let negative comments from others impact our happiness or self-worth.
