Overly Sensitive People????

[diabolical_Tanya]

Have you ever felt slighted or stared at or given a "look" and your immediate thought was that it had to do with your race/Skin/hair/clothes/shoes/whatever?

What did you do?

Did you ever then find out that the slight/look/stare in reality had nothing to do with "you"?

What did you do or how did you feel?

Case in point....

A mother was at a park with her toddlerKid A(African-american), Two other girls her daughter's age were also there one blonde/blue eyed Kid B the other bi-racial Kid C. Kid A and Kid C are in the sandbox, when Kid B walks over and hands a toy to Kid C.

Kid A's mother remarks to her friend, See how she gave the toy to Kid c, it's because she looks white. She would never play with my daughter since she's so dark.

a little later on Kid a's mother finds out that Kid B and Kid c are actually first cousins.

Your thoughts?

Re: Overly Sensitive People????

one's perceptions and reactions sometimes are more about you than the other person.

growing older i've just learned that you have to temper certain things.

eg. everyday this man could be sitting at the bus stop "staring at me" in his dark glasses. eventually, i find out he's blind.

see what i mean?

Re: Overly Sensitive People????

Exactly what mi a try fi seh...here is another one

I used to work with a sales guy, All his clients and bosses thought he was the best [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70409-waytogo.gif[/img] always smiling, friendly, cheerful,kind, etc.
The other employees of the company (underlings) thought he was the biggest [censored] in the world.[img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif[/img] He only spoke to them when he needed something, would pass you in the hall like you were casper. They all hated him.......

On further digging......
The only time he was ever in the hall was enroute to the mens room. He had an enlarged prostate, his focus was making it there accident free.....[img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70361-embarassed.gif[/img]

[img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek2.gif[/img] how did you find out that he was blind? Did you approach him? Dang!

I personally would be highly disappointed if I am not stared at as I strut my stuff on a daily basis. I naturally attract attention and I don't mind it. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif[/img]
