At my workplace, I hate second window because I fear having to interact with men my age, especially when they joke about me being unattractive. I recognise a group of men who go off in a grey van and it’s been two times they’ve been rude to me about being unattractive.

How can I not wanna kill myself when this is what I have to look forward to in life. It’s not like some random man is gonna fall from the sky and save my life by proposing to be my bf.

    It feels strange that we live in a world where people could speak to you about your appearance when it sounds like you do not even know them! You deserve better than that, and their words may hurt but they are not true just because they have said them.

    It may not be as easy as a man falling from the sky, but I truly do not see why someone would not fall for you and want to be with you. I completely hear why this would make you feel so low and perhaps even worthless, and that life may not have much meaning when the world tells women if they are not deemed attractive then they are not worth the time of day

    We are here for you, do you feel able to fight against these thoughts and urges @bignosegirly0?

    @bignosegirly0 Im really sorry about that happening, Id say if possible, its worth mentioning it to your manager or someone higher up, if it happens again, you could mention it, try to remember their van registration plate and you could report it to someone higher up. That behaviour should not be tolerated. Im sure you'll find the right man at some point.

    Please keep safe, you're worthy and you're valued. We all care about you. Thngs will get better even if it feels like they won't now. Unfortunately some people are just very nasty.

    @Redemption i may consider writing up their license plate. Thank you for the suggestion :)
