I woke up feeling better about the situation. Mostly because as most have you mentioned whether implicitly or explicitly, there's really nothing I can do about how they behave around me, but I can definitely change how I react. I do dress conservatively, so there's really nothing I can change in that respect. As for my attitude, I usually pretend like I didn't hear the comments and I think I'm going to continue that route. The only difference that I hope to make is not let the comments bother me as much as they have been, because even though they have no way of knowing that they hurt me (because they don't see me upset) I don't like that I'm so easily saddened by how others treat me. I just have to be a stronger person. For reference, I'm 22 and the people making the comments are all older than me (they're 29-30 years old) not sure if that has anything to do with it? |
