Thats all I heard last night as a man in a blazer drove away from a stoplight where me and my SO were waiting to cross the street. He didn't yell it, just said kind of nasty and drove off. We were leaving a club where we had been dancing and I was already a little out of sorts as the wind had blown my umbrella inside out and my new pair of heels, that had fit well at the beginning of the night, were slipping off my heels when I was walking making it hard to be exactly feminine in composure ( I could still dance in them fine oddly enough). I calmly flipped him the bird and stared him down as he drove away then continued walking. My SO says "oh great, he's turning, maybe he'll come back around so I can kick his a**, or help you do it at least." Apparently he was just turning the corner though so no further interactions.
Why do people have to be so stupid, and why does it bother me even the littlest bit. It's not like I've never been called that before, God knows I heard it and worse growing up, and that was before I could dress the way I wanted to whether in drab or drag. It didn't bother me greatly but it was a nagging in the back of my head. It angered me more that he had any impact on me and my life at all than what he had said. He isn't worth the time and he probably only wanted to make himself feel better about his crappy life by trying to take someone else down. But it spurned thoughts in my head that tried to pick at my self confidence that took me so long to build. It wasn't very effective, but like I say, it bothers me that it had any affect at all.
Oh well, it didn't ruin my evening, my So and I still had a great intimate rest of the evening, and it won't stop me from going out dressed. It may encourage a little more doubt than I had before, but hopefully not.
For those of you that have a lot of confidence, do you ever get to the point that these ignorant little F'ers don't bother you anymore?
I think it just bothers me that people are so stupid, and that he could have had an even more negative effect on someone else (what it it was someones first night out and they weren't that confident). :mad: Oh well, it had to happen sometime, unfortunately you can't always get complements from strangers, it would be nice though. Sorry for the long rant.
Cheers,
