For example, if I wore shorts above my knees, some would say comments that would bother me. I shouldn't have gotten so angry that I couldn't help it. My friends, well I didn't even know if I should call them friends, would sometimes say sly statements. I said absolutely nothing and I don't know why. I would try my best to keep the negativity going, but that wouldn't always work. If it had been something that really struck me, then that thought would have remained in my mind for perhaps the rest of the day. I finally had to get over it, but obviously it took quite a while. Receiving comments on my clothing is honestly one of the best feelings. It completely improves my mind and helps me appreciate clothing and fashion even more. The way I had to overcome it was to have the mindset of thinking that I wasn't normal. I always thought being normal was boring, so it made me feel a lot better. People at my school would describe you as strange for wearing or even doing something that wouldn't be normal for them. It was terribly annoying to go through all this and have to be exposed to ignorance. I hope I never come into contact with that
