Shitty.
I did not go to meet my cousins because I have grown a beard and my relatives comment on it expecting me to look proper when I dont want to chop my beard off.
Unfortunately I had to to pick my mother up and one of them came to see my mom off and he came and only said everything is okay but the beard is so, why?
I have had a history of mental ilnesses and all those shitty feelings resurface when someone comments about me or to me about the things I choose to be.
I have gotten over my anger issues and bi polar through constant work, dedication and meditation.
It is worth reacting angrily over a comment thats made time and over again targeted at you, your looks or mismanaged aesthetics?
If they comment about ur beard…say it’s ur choice/style and u love it that way. If they keep repeating or taunting u about that…answer back sarcastically “ It’s ok. Chill maro….even I don’t like lot of things in others but that doesn’t mean that I keep questioning and harassing them” and if anyone tries to cross their line….give it back in their language.
One thing I would tell u…u said u gotten over your issues with ur hard work, dedication and meditation. So for me…u r a strong fighter. U can be taken as an inspiration for many because u never gave up. So when some stupid people are trying to comment something…which is not their business….then do anything except getting back to where you started. You have come a long way…so either u ignore or give it back but don’t let them effect you’re growth and don’t try to hide from such people. Don’t let wrong win over right attitude.
