You'd probably just think they're weird.

But if you believe that you have purple hair, and you believe that having purple hair is ugly, and someone else also believes that you have purple hair, which is unattractive to them, then it would probably trigger your own negative beliefs about yourself and hurt you.
That's a great example. In my case, I'd have a problem with having purple hair, so if someone made a bad comment about it while I'm wearing the wig, it would strike inside of me emotionally and I'd feel hurt. But I have no problem with wearing brown hair, so if someone makes a nasty comment about how bad brown hair is on me, I'd just look at him like he's a strange person for making that comment. Interesting way to look at it thanks
