I suffer in silence because I'm too shy to say anything back. There was the time when my mother and I were walking past a house where black people live and there was a group of them out in the front yard talking and when we walked past they called us "White trash", it was insulting but we didn't do anything about it. Then there was the time when we walked past a group of three guys and one of them said "Yuck" when he looked at me, fifteen years later and it still hurts to this day. When I was a teenager in high school a guy called me "Ape face" and that too still hurts, when I look back on it now I should of said something back like "I'd rather date an ape instead of a shallow pig like you!". Getting insulting looks and comments from men in public is the main reason I have really low self confidence and self-esteem and it's something I'll probably have to live with for the rest of my life. There have been guys that were nice to me but I get the feeling they are only that way out of pity and their kindness makes me feel awkward because I'm not used to guys being nice towards me. I hate being me and my life sometimes. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
What do you do when someone of the other gender hurts your feelings?
