Is it normal to be called hippie and avatar?

Just because I'm vegan and I care about the planet and the world hunger and I'm a very tall girl, people keep calling me hippie and avatar(the tall blue guys). I don't feel bad about it because I love being tall and I don't consider being called hippie an insult as they think it is, but it starts to become really annoying. Is it normal to be called those names? They also say thinks like "Hey avatar, how is the weather up there?" And like if it wasn't bad enough I can't hug anyone because some guys took advantage of the fact that their face was in the same hight has my breasts...so yeah... :c

Is It Normal?

  • I think I'm too old to relate because I can't imagine how people are calling you on this unless you're one of those obnoxious people who want to share their dietary habbits with everyone like it is an obligation. I'm a vegetarian, but I don't think the intake of meat is unnatural. Only the way our society produces meat is unnatural. I care about the environment and nobody has given me shit about that.

    I don't really get how the whole avatar thing gets messed up in this, because the movie is about enlarged stereotypes about US killing nature and only caring about natural rescources (oil=unobtainium). Everyone above IQ70 will side with the avatars for choosing ecology above moneygain.

    As a european I amagine being called a hippie is something bad in the US...then again as a european i'm used to americans calling us hipsters by default even though we are average people in our own culture/country and we don't care for the retarded stereotyping.

    The fact that your height/breast-height gets up in this argument confuses me even more. The only thing I know about height difference between a guy/girl is that it might make 69 position a bit awkward when the difference is above 8-10 centimeters. But that's just from personal experience (yes it seems nature has intended that guys are a little taller then girls, but thats not always the case).

    Also, learn to hug. It's the one skill I have taught many different people because it's a worthwhile skill, and it has nothing to do with your height. Our society this day and age has too many people who stick their heads up their arse. Learning how to give a loving hug to a friend without it being awkward is a valuable skill to have.

    Peace!

  • Do your friends not care about the planet? It sounds like good natured teasing. I frequently get called a hippie and my size is constantly being used as a joke. For the most part, these comments come from friends or even myself.

    You can still hug. Hugs are great. A female friend of mine is close to six feet and she does this weird squatting posture when she hugs me. She does it with many of her friends as she is much taller than most her female friends. I imagine she does it with shorter males too. I know I appreciate the effort. Think about how you would hug a child. Meeting them on their level make for a more comfortable embrace.

  • There is not enough tall girls in the world today! Being tall myself, it's great to be with a tall pretty girl, especially a added bonus when she can think for herself like you! Don't worry, if they didn't like you they would not aggravate you!

  • Jealousy, I admire you for being a vegan, I'm a vegetarian and would one day like to make the change to vegan. Be proud you have respect for the planet, and your height!

  • Hmm... I don't think it's very normal. Stuff like this happens but that doesn't make it right. You could 1. Tell them off but it might this worse, 2. Distance yourself from these people or 3. Keep the fact that you are a hippy and vegetarian to yourself.

    Good luck!

  • While I myself disliked the avatar its not something I would make fun of someone for enjoying. Its also rude to make fun of people for being tall. Just ignore them they sound immature. This is something a 12 year old would do. You should ignore anyone who insists on acting like children.

  • People will find any excuse to bully others. If they didn't tease you about being vegan or being tall, then they'd find something else to bully you about.

  • The average height for a guy is 5'11 and that's how high your milk shakes are.

    How tall are you stretch?

    • I'm 5'11 myself, the guys I know are usually smaller than that.

      • if your only 5'11 that's not tall enough to be ridiculled even if you are a girl. Are you sure they call you avatar because of your height? Are you blue?

        As far as being a vegan is concerned, that is kind of annoying. There are more chickens on Earth than there are humans, could you imagine how many chickens there would be if we didn't eat eggs. Also how do think a Lion would go on a vegan diet?

        • Yes I'm pretty sure I'm not blue, just tall for my age.
          And I'm vegan yes but I don't impose my style of life to anyone nor criticize anyone for eating meat, besides if there are so many chickens in the world it's because we want to, in their natural environment there would never be so many chickens in the world. Also I'm not saying every single animal should be vegan but if we humans can live healthy and happy without killing anyone why not?

          • Well it sounds to me that they are just beings a-holez cause you sound like one awesome person :S

          • The reason why there wouldn't be that many chickens in a natural environment is because naturally they would have predators. Also there have been periods in history in certain parts of the world were people have had to rely on meat as there main source of food.

            • Yes before but not anymore, we can live healthy and happy without meat we don't need it anymore actually the quantity of meat people usually eat is away to big and it's bad for your health
