Thanks for the advice again

The situation was one of those things that yea I intentioned it, but I'm not sure how to break the cycle of intentions. The full situation is this:

I'm an aspiring fencer. But at the academy (fencing academy) the people there in my division are much better than me. I'm still a beginner, only doing it for 6 months, and I've already got a few tourneys under my belt (Placed alright for a 17 yr old). The other guys there are a couple years older (18-23) much better and talk a lot of trash. It's kind of a fencingthing to do so, and I'm the 'new' guy so it was alright at first. But everytime I go to the academy I expect the same trash talk always directed at me. So in essence I intention it. Is there anyway to break this cycle of intentioning, because I am asking, and then getting.

I'm reading your post on the Ladder of emotion, and Steve's post ATM

again thank you
