No matter how I try to avoid tackless people, it seems that they are scattered in the four corners of the world and that I will never be able to escape their sarcastic remarks. The problem with me is that I’m so sensitive and I tend to take things personally. I know it’s a negative thing and of course, I’m trying to improve myself. But I still feel uncomfortable being scrutinized (who doesn’t?) and as a result I often shut my doors to “potential friends” who have hurt my feelings.
Meet Ms. X. We’ve met through a common friend and I was quite surprised with how tacky she can be: “Why you’re so thin?! Maybe your mother cooks so bad!” – HAR HAR! Talk about loose lips and I’d bet she’s on top of the list! Sometimes people are just darn ignorant. I am having problems with my metabolism and my mom has nothing to do with it. GRRR!
Honestly, I didn’t know how to react. I am used to hearing people say “you’re so thin” or “you should eat more” or “do you have intestines?” in tones that really make me feel insignificant. Heck! You can even ask me if I am that poor that I can’t even afford to buy a piece of bread and I won’t give a damn shit. But to say that my mom cooks so bad just because I’m underweight is extremely unfair and is something I would never accept. Ever!
