We are taught it isn't nice to stare and I think this should apply to thibgs we see as positive. I get these comments many times a day and I don't think they are appropriate.Wendi Kitsteinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515018912328000746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14468282.post-77819695258858429402015-08-29T14:07:34.785-05:002015-08-29T14:07:34.785-05:00I'm only 5'8" (I'm female) so I c...I'm only 5'8" (I'm female) so I can't say I get these comments myself. But I will say that the person was clearly not insulting you...being tall is not a disability or anything to cause you embarrassment should it be pointed out to you. So if she was saying "wow you're really fat!" or "gosh you have horrible acne and you look terrible!" then she would be a total jerk. I honestly think she was trying to be friendly and was simply talking about something you already know that is not rude to mention. Almost like talking about a shirt you are wearing. Most people wish they were taller than they are!<br /><br />I think sometimes we (myself included) are too quick to be offended by innocent remarks.

Even though you know this is an ignora...I feel ya. Even though you know this is an ignorant person who's mother didn't teach them manners, you still feel the sting of someone pointing out that you are different. I had a little old man say, "hey stretch" while I was just trying to get a pop at burger king. I jsut smiled a him because my mother taught me manners. I forced myself to blow it off, although it took my heart a couple of minutes. I sat there eating my lunch with Andrew and reminded myself how much I like being me. It didn't take long to release it. I love me, and so do a lot of other people. Aunt LindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
