I have anxiety and social anxiety. I have had strangers that I've interacted with, or people im just meeting say this to me sometimes: "you look scared." I always find it rude, and I always want to say so. I want to say "that's rude.". it makes me feel even more uncomfortable when they point it out to me. But I don't say "thats rude" because then I worry about being rude myself. I've said before: "I'm not trying to.". But then they say "well you do.". Would it be rude of me to say back "that's rude." ? Or would it be assertive? What else can I say to these people (they've been mostly women)? I want to be able to give a self empowered response. Note: I'm really uninterested in responses here that will tell me to be rude or snarky to them. I find this unrealistic for me and I'm not interested in being aggressive or hurtful towards people, as much as I may want to. I'm just wondering, if there's anything I can say to these people. Or if saying "that's rude," is ok or not. Thanks.
