I Am Trying to Find Myself

Hurtful People

Written on November 1st, 2010
How can I find me if I keep running into people who don't like me and deliberatley try to hurt my feelings. I went to the town today with my grandpa and this woman was looking at me and then she gave me this horrible stare and I don't know her. Why do people have to be so judgemental and insist that you fit in to their social class and label you as stuck-up because you're a bit different? I'm afraid of going out there and being me-now that I'm out of college for a year and awaiting a scholarship to move on to a Univeristy I mostly keep to myself and stay inside my house most days.

    Thank you very much for your comments. They mean a great deal to me. I've been trying very hard since I last wrote this and I'm feeling the progress. It's hard to ignore people when they do this esp when I feel like running away when they stare and say the hurtful things but I'm getting some confidence back and it hurts less.

    I used to close myself up because of exactly same reason. I found that people are extremely judgemental and mean. With time i've realized that they're not really mad at me or trying to hurt me, they're just mad at the fact that their lives are limited for some reasons, there are some things that they wished they couldve done or things they are too scared to try and now seeing me (or you) doing them without fear (or so they think), irritates them.

    dont take it personally, love <3

    Don't worry what other think of you, It's their problem, Just avoid them think about the positives you have.
