There seems to be a lot of cruelty out there, directed towards CD's. One has only to walk around dressed up, (CD'ing), to see that even women, who seem better at spotting a man in a skirt, use that ability to make a bit of a scene, at least by displaying a rude smirk, and so ridicule the CD'er. Men, though more violent on the street, especially if low class, do not seem to take it as such a comical matter, or even an insult, at least if they do not have a chip on their shoulder, as most people relatively confortable in their lives, do not.
If one is at all sensitive, one can easily take it to heart and indeed, be destroyed by it, or at least have a part of one's soul or spirit destroyed. It is so hurtful to see a GG take it up as a personal issue, between you and them. After all, imitation is the sincereest form of flattery. But they do not seem to seem it at all that way.
I guess how you get past this sort of thing is a personal matter, and not something another can likely help with.
These days though, I simply feel like giving up.
How common is this?
