you're so SHORT <<insert Response>>

[Guest guest]

I feel that when people don't know you and are making a wise comment like

that I don't feel that I need to answer them.

Just like if someone doesn't respond to someone's comment about Why are you

so black? Are you of a mixed race? Why are you so fat? Why do you have one

leg?

There was a segment in the media not too long ago about how some women who

were getting concerned and a bit annoyed (which they had every right to)

about strangers coming up to them and asking if they were pregant when in

reality they were a little overweight. They like anyone else don't need to

give a total stranger if they choose not to an explanation on why they are

different than someone else.

There are certains things that aren't people's business and don't need an

explanation to someone when you go walking out your door. Like if someone

asked you how much money you made.

I think if people want to get to know someone and not care they are short,

tall, fat, different ethnic background fine. If they just want to spotlight

and highlight the fact that you are different than they are and they are

devoted to that fact and don't care anything else about someone such as their

brains, personality, or anything else I say not fine and I avoid them as much

as possible...
