personally I prefer them to cruel words. Yesterday I was buying some groceries at Safeway ,and for whatever reason that I will never know the cashier insults me, and then laughs in my face when she sees my reaction , and tells me she is only kidding.My god what is wrong with people ? This is an adult after all I thought that anyone who has ever survived junior high school would know how much words can hurt.
I have spent most of my life attempting to avoid anything that could be considered mean , or hurtful to others because I know that no matter what out age a lot of us still have somewhere inside that insecure 13 year old who just wants everyone to accept them , and is easily crushed when they don't.I realize that it is impossible to avoid hurting others at all times, but if we can just remember to think before we speak a lot of potential damage can be avoided.The sad truth is a lot of people who first started showing signs of eating disorders were heavily influenced by the comments of others I am certain that you can easily argue that people like me are just too sensitive, and the truth is I am.But if that is what has made me careful as an adult with the feelings of others then I guess that is a positive for me.As for the cashier at Safeway maybe that's the only way she can feel better about herself , or maybe she was just having a bad day.Whatever the reason I think I will just shop at Molly stone instead lol.
When people have unresolved emotional issues in their live, they're vulnerable to psychological triggers. A checkout attendant who is resentful about a failed marriage might react to the sight of a woman with a beautiful wedding ring. The woman with the ring could be anyone.
