I receive jokes, well just
I receive jokes, well just one joke, over and over: "hey, you forgot your shoes." Once I heard it 3 times on one 10 km run. On the third time, I told the guy that I had never heard the joke before. His friend started howling in laughter at the speaker.
I get quite a few of astonished comments, but the negative comments usually are communicated in the form of a scowl, without words.
I am asked lot of questions, usually as part of the astonishment, "Aren't you cold?" "Is that really healthy?" Since the questions are just honest, I answer them politely. Recently, I got it from a dog walker. I responded, "Just like for your dog." She responded, "I guess you're right."
But, I also get plenty of "thumbs up" either through smiles, hands or words.
Just remember that people's words--particularly when hostile--are all about them and none about you.
So, try your best to ignore them. I wouldn't even dignify it with a response or even a look.
And, if the incident is still bothering you in the evening, sit down and write to this forum about it. It's a great place to let off some steam and get some solidarity!
