I mentioned my religion around my coworkers and what happened? They started cracking jokes about it. And talking about all the ways they avoid people who are of my religion and try to scare them off. Apparently assuming this wouldn’t be even REMOTELY offensive. But I was more hurt than anything. They seriously just casually started making fun of something I take seriously because to them it’s a joke. Ok cool. But if I were to say ANYTHING about the things they care about and take seriously, oh I’d be thrown to the wolves for it! I’d get cussed out and mad mouthed to everyone in the building if I offended them in any manner or form. But me? Nah. It’s ok because I’m not them. So that justifies it. I just can’t stand how hypocritical people are! They except others to respect them and their beliefs/opinions, but somebody expresses their own and suddenly they deserved to be laughed at. I was sad and angry after that so I talked a lot less and kinda avoided them. To which the one girl who was mainly responsible was like, “Are you feeling ok?” Seriously? You ask me that after you just got done belittling my religion? Really? Of course I just shrugged it off and said I was tired cause I didn’t wanna start a confrontation. But honestly this is why I can’t stand people. I only told them I was religious to see if they’d make fun of me for it. And what do you know? They proved my whole point. I barely had to say anything and they were talking about saying they were a satanist around people like me to make them. So yeah. That’s real nice. Like I said, I knew it was gonna happen but that didn’t make it any less disappointing. It still hurts when people openly mock you for something you take very seriously. But then expect you to be sympathetic when talking about something THEY take seriously. I honestly grow to dislike people a little more everyday. They’re just rude and unkind, even if they claim to be otherwise. Guess I better get used to wandering around on my own again not knowing what to do with myself. I like being able to socialize but I’m definitely not gonna waste my time doing it with people who don’t respect me. I had to resist the urge to start crying right then and there and I’m still fighting the urge now. Probably will in a little bit. And people wonder why I have social anxiety yet they treat me like this. People suck!
