he wanted this but didnt get it |
After the fair we walked around town. I nipped into the god awful Primark to get a new pair of pjs. I hate that shop, but i m on a tight budget. Whilst in the queue, a pair of twelve year olds and their mother were pointing and laughing at me. Like i was some sort of feeling less freak! They were only about two feet away, practically right in my face. What gives people the right to behave this way towards others? Why did this mother think it was ok that her children did this? Why did a grown woman think this kind of behaviour was acceptable in polite society?
Being heavily tattooed and dressed in a alternative way since my early teens. I am used to being stared at, it doesnt bother me. But to laughed at right in my face like that, really up set me. I asked my twitter followers how they deal with negativity on how they dress.
@TheSherBear ignore. I've had it my whole entire life. Ignoring doesn't stop it, but it certainly doesn't encourage.
@themissnextdooor I ignore them, but if I'm in a bad mood I'll let them know. "You couldn't stare a bit more could you?" or "What's so funny?"
@thecent_kitty If i find girls sniggering at me i turn away (And it is always girls) I presume it's because i'm comfy living a differnt life. I also would never want to look or act like those mocking me. I don't
want their approval, & the very fact that my appearance
@_PrintedPage I only had it once, a very young couple laughed in my face, I couldn't hold back & gave them a gob full!
@quin_h_murray I smile at them and thank god that I'm not boring and stupid like they are!
@Esyrii ignore it because I know I'm beautiful INSIDE as well as out, they are obv ugly inside to behave like that!!
@ScarlettDaggers I always confront them, politely but publicly. Question the example they're setting their children that should shut them up!
@Rocknrollcliche head up high, throw out ' fuck you I am way more confident and fit' vibes and chuck in some death stares till they look away!
@DollyCool This happens to me a lot too...They are silly little girls with thick parents who will be plain Jane's forever...... ignore!!!Oh, and they usually get a filthy look as well - just for good measure!
@zombiebunnyink I do the same no point wasting my breath and I dont listen to idiots let them stay with their herd.
@exquisitebones I get stares and glares and laughs from dumpy women in dirty pajamas at the grocery store here. Forgive me for wearing a dress
@alicemartha That is terrible,how you dress is totally personal and you shouldn't have to worry what other people think.
@pinkgal2345 when ive been laughed at for the way I dress I normally smile and offer some red lipstick or say oh are my seams not straight?
Have you ever experience negativity towards how you dress?
How do you deal with it?
