Strangers being rude to me when I am out in public. Like grumpy bus drivers if I get something wrong when I’m buying a ticket.
I know everyone dislikes this but I seem to react more strongly & shut down more. I think it’s linked to anxiety and being bullied in the past.
Yeah, I believe it has to do with low-self-esteem as well. In my case, I just want everyone to like me and don't understand when people are mean for little to no reason. I feel like most people can cope with these situations, but for me it hurts my soul, and I feel crappy for the rest of the day.
