Thread: Am I wrong for getting angry cause this woman said something about my clothes?

With time you'll learn to embrace your height (some of the hottest celebs are petite - Eva Longoeirsidfgdf-something from Desperate Housewives, anyone?? Reese Witherspoon???).

And.. also.. you WILL NOT look "young" forever. I know it doesn't seem like that now but... before you know it you'll be thinking to yourself "Ah if only I were a few years younger, if only I had some better moisturizer..." etc etc.

Get this whole Walmart situation out of your head, not good to keep thinking about it. I'm sure there are more important things in your life at the moment!

Even though I have yet to hear of someone as short as me, you do make a good point. And thanks, I'm trying not to worry so much about what everyone thinks of me but its a little hard sometimes.

But some (younger men especially)see kinds of exposed dressing as a come on sign. Just beware of that. And as for that woman who tries to tell you what to wear, just tell her politely to mind her own business and would she like you telling her what to wear? xx

Thanks, you completely get my point! And yea, I am very aware of these type of guys and I think I care myself in a pretty good manner.

^ That's exactly how I feel. Also considering the fact that I have self esteem problems, I feel that dressing in clothes I THINK look feminine makes me feel a little better about myself and a little more feminine. A lot of people don't realize that, when I wear things that don't fit really well, I'm usually not feeling as good about myself, Vs. when I wear things that actually fit.

"Love is my message" Michael Jackson

IF you truly believe this, a quote from one of the most popular and most criticized vocal performers in my life time, then please try and apply it more often to your everyday life.

A fabulous entertainer on stage and wildly misunderstood - IMO - off stage. Who spent most of his adult life being accused of things, appearing on the cover of tabloids, making news he didn't want to make, etc. Yet few knew of his non-stop, ongoing, never ending giving to charities around the world to benefit children.

He was picked on by his brothers, beaten by his father, expected to perform at a very high level at a very yound age due to his popularity, had his 'normal' childhood taken away by his parents desire to be successful and when he went out on his own, things multiplied.

You can't pick your parents as he couldn't pick his. You are who you are...so make the best of it.

Inspite of everything that Michael Jackson lived through, caused himself to go through and went through, he still found it in his heart for LOVE to be his message.

You can too.

If you are a faith based person, keep the following verse in mind:

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 from the NIV version of the Bible.

Yes I think Michael was a really great person and he loved people in general, but I feel I'm a lot like him, too nice. I think that's why people went so far as to lie on him to get money, because they knew he was such a nice person. He let people run over him, and I feel that I do too. But I'm not blaming anyone but myself because I allow it. All I'm saying is that when you continue to let people get away with disrespecting/ being rude towards you without politely letting them know, you are allowing them to do it and it never comes to an end. I feel that when people say things like this to you, they are trying to see how far they can go, and yes they'll keep going until you stand up for yourself. Yes, I agree that I shouldn't go so far as to curse her out, but politely let her know that I feel she is being rude towards me.
