And how did you react? How did others react?
I felt like crap of course. Not because I'm upset that I'm short or anything, but because people think it's completely acceptable to mock someone for their height.
I told them that it's douche-like to make fun of me or point out something about me that I had no control over and can't change. They cringed and one apologized. Another one laughed at said it was "my problem".
What would you have done?
When I was in High School, it was always the black women who would remind me everyday I was short and worthless because of it. Spanish women didn't seem to care that I was short.
Had this moment yesterday at a family cookout. I was sort of a reunion. Can't tell you how I felt after a whole bunch of my younger family members bragged that they grew past me. You think a fat women would tell other fat family members and friends "oh, I just went past you, I'm thinner than you now".
This insensitivity towards something you can't change versus something that can easily be changed is unbelievable.
