That's the only reason I can think of. I didn't really stand out in any other way except that I reacted poorly to teasing and insults.<br /><br />A few years ago I came to the enlightenment that you mentioned about them being small and sad. While I have no good feelings for those who bullied me, I pity them and the people that they are. <br /><br />There are still times when I get offended by words said to me, but I've been forced to thicken my skin. Such is life.Lost and Foundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15274876739284480513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-78289178744070762122013-05-21T12:17:49.688-04:002013-05-21T12:17:49.688-04:00Me too, if truth be told.

Boys don't know how to be subtle. <br /><br />SIR: I am still thin-skinned, so I nurse pain even though I know it is not about me. Words do hurt, no matter the motivation.

But sometimes it seems like that was child's play compared to the adult version of social pressure, especially re: shidduchim. It's a good thing maturity (usually) comes along with this shift. Good for you for letting it go over your head.

I was short, had different interests, talked with a higher vocabulary, etc.<br /><br />"Adulthood has its own brand of childhood torment. The comment casually slid into a conversation, the snide innuendo, the discreet put-down."<br />As an adult while I do occasionally see this, most of the time I don't notice such things. Then again, as a guy I'm usually more often than not oblivious to subtle insults. Or subtle anything, for that matter.FrumGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13698026647411592329noreply@blogger.com
