What is an good response when people make a snarky comment about diamonds not being rare, it being a marketing ploy, etc? I just bought a new diamond, and I'm sure these comments will come from certain individuals I can't avoid (work). To clarify, I don't really care what they think about how I spend my money, it just would be nice to have a valid rebuttal to their "woke" comments. Thanks
forget about them
show me your new ring
ill love it
and i don't care about clever marketing (serously what's wrong with it anyway?) or how rear diamonds are or arnt
they look pretty and make people happy and that's enough for me
people who cannot be happy for other people are too sad
and maybe not so much jelouse of a new ring but perhaps jelouse of circumstances - not even necessarily material circumstances just other people's happiness
its a pity you can't avoid them because negativity can be draining but remember the primary reason most people go to work is to earn a living, not make friends (and i admit all my friends bar one have always been work related) but would you even associate with these people if you didn't work with them
i wouldn't stoop to their level with a clever comment back id just ignore them
or maybe stay positive and upbeat with a 'well they make me happy'
i know its frustrating when some people are so self righteous
its just about putting other people down
