Joanna, others words have nothing to do with ourselves. We interpret for ourselves what we want to believe, its called self esteem. Yours is beaten and battered at the moment, something we must improve for your own self issues. Having confidence in yourself means that when someone calls you a slut, then that is their opinion, and instead of falling into a hole like this, it means nothing too you, because your self esteem is stronger than their words, reinforcing to yourself that your not a slut, and a much better person than yourself.

Lets face it, what is a slut? Is it someone who sleeps with others on a one night stand once a week? Twice a week? If slut is referred to the female, then what does that make most males? Much worse I would be guessing!

A person who often is calling another a name, has emotions behind those name callings, more that they are jealous of you, frightened of you, or scared that you could take their partner from them. That is generally why people get to the name calling level.
