[quote=amandbaac][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP one of the reasons you are getting so many kind replies is that we have all been there. I don’t think there is a woman on earth who hasn’t been told she wasn’t pretty at some point in her life - usually by a man. Even women we consider to be the most beautiful in the world have been told they aren’t right. It is the patriarchy trying to hold us down. Trying to make us think that our worth lies in how we look. You will also find out shortage of women who have bought into this idea and will work to make you feel less than for the same superficial ‘failings’. Looking a certain way is not an accomplishment. If you are beautiful - it is something that was given to you. You get can control and choose who you are and what you do. These are things that determine your worth. These are things worthy of praise or scorn. The reason middle aged women are so relaxed and happy is that we finally let go of all the insecurities around appearance.  We know that partners of value, value us for who we are not how we look. We know that what Steve in accounting thinks about the size of our a$$ doesn’t matter at all. I’ve made a whole bunch of poor decisions and mistakes in my life but the one I wish I could take back is all the time I spent hating my body, hating my hair, wanting to look different than I did. It accomplished nothing and when I look back at old photos of myself, I realize that I was pretty hot. The sooner you let go of that BS, the happier you will be. I promise and nothing is more attractive than a confident woman! [/quote]
Fwiw, the worst insult I dealt with came in middle school from girls I didn't even know. They ran up to me and asked, giggling, where I bought those flippers that count as my feet. I admit, my feet grew up faster than the rest of me and I wore size 9.5 at 13. Many years later, I still remember wanting to die on the spot, it sounded so humiliating and totally out of the blue.
Well, I am a 5'9" middle-agee woman now who's received a fair share of compliments from men in my adult life and I rock my size 10 footwear. I guess, my point is, OP, I know it hurts when someone insults you all of a sudden but that only means they are immature idiots. Who knows, maybe, 20 years down the road it'll be you who has the last laugh.
Wishing you all the best, OP! [/quote] thank you so much<3[/quote]
