Ridiculed and insulted by complete strangers in the street?

Post Reply New Topic

I am somewhat paranoid in this regard, believing that everyone is talking about me and snickering. I have since realized, however, that they usually are not, and that they have better things to talk about.

I get insults because of the way I look, when I used to walk back from the bus stop kids from another school always called me "tranny" or "girl with the dick", and when I go places I get random people asking me what sex I am. I find it amusing now, anyway I'm changing my wadrobe to something more feminine anyway.

No, your not the only to be tormented word-wise by people..In fact, I can recall once a bunch of university students whom, must have been in a rush to get somewhere happen to say,"Move out of the way ret*d." I simply took no notice of the comment but, I'm not saying, it did not bother me for, it did however I try to not let such scenarios tear me apart as a person as, there will always be ignorant,tyrants in this world..

Certainly round here, you're in much more danger of this sort of assault here as a young man than any other demographic is. A (vague and by no means universal, but significant) taboo attaches to the young, to older people, and to women in general, but young men are not covered by any protection of taboo.

Yes, this happens to me on a regular basis. I've never been physically assaulted, but being verbally abused by people as I walk past happens about once a week.

This stuff never happens to me, although I live in London so there different types of people. In smaller towns I can understand that events like these could happen since people are more likely to know their neighbors.

i say hit em in groin, then chin if someone attacks u no nt would leave it be i have never gotten many shouts or attacks but maybe they somehow sense im bit grazy what it comes to fa***ts who try to get advantage from weaker ones it just makes me mad

Interesting hypothesis on the lack of taboo protecting young men. My assumption for targets would be adolescents and the elderly, but not lone males in their late 20s to 40s, just because of the greater potential for physical violence.

It's always enlightening to see different perspectives though, that's certainly something I don't think would have crossed my mind.

Been insulted, picked at, abused, attacked, sexually harassed, hit, kicked. I have people I barely knew be so horrid to me and later tell me it was because I was a b$%#& to them, though I barely spoke to them. I think it's non verbal cues that we are less of a pack animal. I have been told I seem aloof, reserved, guarded, distrusting by people I know (notice I didn't say friends). More times than I can count I have been kidded about not having friends, this by people who don't really know I don't have friends, but I guess they can tell.

Maybe "they" (the bullies in the world) feel bad about themselves because of the GOOD in us, so they attack. They can tell we won't follow them off a cliff and it throws them.
But I do go on.

I have most my life don't give a crathough they are only afraid of difference,

I feel glad that most people who picked on me either are having a crap life and or are dead.

Thats generally why they do. Either out of jealousy or they pick on someone they deem inferior (of course this totally untrue) to them to try and make themselves feel better. Bullys generally have more issues than most other people!

This happens to me once in a while. I am 30, but because I look like I am 12 or 14, i get picked on by teenagers. With boys, they say sexual things to me or tell me that I am ugly or stupid. Girls would look at me and start doping weird things with their faces at me or something so mean. both boys and girls start laughing at me and it makes me feel very inferior. i feel very embarrassed, like I do not want to go out or do anything. I try to avoid going out when teenagers are most likely to be out. i also tend to avoid teenage hangouts or places where teenagers typical or heavily populate. I always feel ugly and horrible about myself. I am also bi-racial and I notice it is mostly the white kids. Though I have not been called the N word, but I still when I was younger, I wished that I was one color not both. I always wished that I was more whiter because I lived in a suburb that was strictly white, so this was one of the reasons. Now I live in a city, so i am more comfortable with who I am.

I get honked at a lot. Either that, or they gun their motors, just to give me a scare. Another problem I have is that often, while crossing the street- even when I have the right of way- the oncoming car often speeds up, guns the motor and acts like they want to hit me. But interestingly enough, when I´m walking with someone else- (like an NT)- this NEVER happens. In fact, my friends seem to wonder why I´m so cautious crossing the street.

On a few occasions, I´ve been laughed at by teenagers, or purposely bumped into. I have NO idea why, I was just minding my own business, and I think I look "normal". When I was younger, I was constantly being groped by strange men. This doesn´t happen anymore, I think I´ve finally perfected my glare.

This stuff used to happen to me a lot before and still a bit sometimes now. However, according to my family, whereas when i was younger i was an easy target now apparently i look rather threating - in the sense that i could win in a fight: tall with lots of facial hair and a scowl on my face. Nowadays if anyone does do anything like this i've learnt to give them the middle finger.....it makes you feel a lot better.

At the end of the day though i remind myself that if i let this get on my mind too much they would be the ones winning.

oh all sorts of things have happened to me. Been bashed up by a gang of tough girls when simply walking with my sister. (My sister later commented how I seem to be a weird magnet for this kind of thing.)
Had a lot more than that happen, but do not feel like going into details. It's a sunny morning, i am also drawing, and the animals are all playing in the garden. I want to hang onto that today and not hark back to the awful stuff.

i have had total strangers insult me a few times
one time this one guy looked at me and called me a "fat b&^ch"

i remember telling my mother about the above and she told me that it was their problem not mine.
