I was at the grocery store on Wednesday. I used to work at that store back in 2014-2015. All I was doing was grabbing a bag of grapes from the produce department. Two employees, who were there when I worked there, and seemed ok, started laughing at me and saying "look at her." I was the only one in the produce department and they were looking directly at me. I had no idea what I was doing. I was literally just grabbing a bag of grapes. I had on a black t shirt, Levi's, and Vans. I did not look weirdly dressed. I am pretty much a normal weight so I did not look out of place in the produce department. I'm just really confused.

This happens a lot to me. I don't know why. I'm not doing anything. I'm just minding my own business and keeping to myself. It's gotten a lot better since I've lost the weight, but recently people have been giving me odd looks and doing double takes at me.

I am not that good looking, and I feel like I have unique facial features. But I dress normally and act normally.

Anyways, I decided to assert myself for once. I've always been told that people wont ever believe me about the things I say. So I've just been dealing with it. But I got tired of it. So I had the front end manager call the produce manager and I told him about his rude employees. He said that doesn't sound like them, but that he would talk to them.

I mean, what could they possibly be talking about? Again, all I did was pick up a bag of grapes. It was stupid.

He said that didn't sound like them. I've been getting that excuse all my life. In high school, I would go from one high school to the next, and in a matter of days, the bullying would start. I guess I kind of brought it on myself. I was gaining weight fast and I chose to wear childish shirts that had Sesame Street characters on them. Often they were too tight and too short. I was very socially awkward, and I did not take care of my hygiene.

Anyways, when I told the teachers it was always the same response: "oh, there're nice kids, they don't mean anything." It was very discouraging.

It was the same response from this manager.

I do not wear sesame Street shirts anymore. I wear name brand clothes or solid color t shirts. I take care of my hygiene and weigh 44 pounds less then I did in high school.

Can anyone give a logical explanation about what these employees were doing? Maybe they were trying to be nice but doing it oddly?

I just don't get why they would act like that when I wasn't doing anything.
