Without air

Who was it who said it takes ten compliments to counter one negative one?  She/he/they are right

So often
One person's voice
Carries louder
Than another's.
We all
Have sore spots.
When touched
They launch us
Into outer space.
It's no use
To say we are
Sore-spot-less;
If we do
They will catch us
Unawares.
I know
Whereof
I speak.
The Earth
Is orbited by those
Who choose
To stay
Up
Without air.
