It's a shame for them because they lost someone really great in their lives. It's time to find new friends. (I'd rather be alone that have abusive people around me). As far as your concern because of the man that was speaking out of line. If you have concerns for your personal safety, call the police. If you have concerns because you are worried about what HE thinks about you, don't be around him. He doesn't deserve to know you !
Also, PLEASE, find a good T. You are lovely (no I didn't look at the pic and for the hundreth time I am not going to because I want to encourage you find your inner beauty)
You know, also, if you aren't feeling great as a treat to yourself, you can go to the local department store and ask for a makeover. Or speak with the personal shopper so she/he can help you find a "look" that you love. BUT DO NOT LET THEM CON YOU INTO PURCHASING ANYTHING. Unless you absolutely love it and it's just 1 thing (like a great lipstick or great eye pencil) or a fabulous summer top. Know what I mean?
Essex, 99.999% of us are not supermodels. And frankly, who would want to be? Most of them are horrible people. Trust me. They are grumpy, miserable, etc (because they never eat and only smoke and drink coffee) and their personalities...they have none because they base everything on the way they appear. Looks fade, though, and by 30, they are done. And most have no proper education.
What to do then?
Also sweetie, they may look good on the screen or behind the lense, but IRL, they are just regular looking people that some Fashionista Stylist Anna Wintour decided was the most beautiful thing in the world.
Also, every single photo you see in public: billboards, magazines, the big screen, etc. it's ALLLLLL photoshopped. And these people have brilliant make up artists.
Have your spoken with your doctor since your laser, btw? It's important that you discuss how you are feeling.
((((Big Hugs)))) Hang in there. OK. You are lovely. And very brave!
