I am pretty bashful, or as T2 likes to say a milquetoast. Which is true, but it is nurture not nature. I was made this way by the world because I don't like my feelings hurt. I am a very sensitive girl, and I am always afraid if I am assertive they will come back with something hurtful.
I always try and play fair, I don't want to hurt people's feelings, but I have learned that does not go in two directions. Most people don't care about your feelings. It is easy for them to tell you you are fat, or not as attractive, or maybe not the brightest bulb in the room. And it is said in "honesty". You know the truth, and how can speaking the truth be hurtful.
But it does. It is hurtful, because being overweight makes you a second class citizen. It is true, if a heavy person is assertive they are fodder for abuse so we become milquetoast.

Tell them to f**k off. You are NOT a 2nd class citizen. You are a beautiful and loyal person/friend. I have never thought otherwise of you in 35 years. We need to find a white Cadillac! 😎😉 Kimmy
