I guess I'm letting them get to me...

[thelostyears]

So today, I got on the bus, right? And it was full. Like. No seats left. So I was forced to go up to each person and ask if I could sit with them. One girl said, "Who are you talking to, me? No, go away. *glares*". Another boy had a seat to himself but he turned away. All while I could hear someone make a remark about my weight. So I finally found a seat on the bus with some random kid, at that point trying not to cry the rest of the way home (it doesn't help that I'm the last one off).

Am I just letting them get to me? Sigh.

They don't want you sitting next to them? Act like you don't want them sitting next to you, or don't want to sit next to them either. Is standing for a whole bus journey actually a problem for you though? 'Cos if it is, I understand why that could be hard.

[thelostyears]

No, the fact is, it's been like this my whole life.

I'm making too much of a big deal over this. I apologize. I'm sorry. It's my fault. :/

No, they shouldn't be doing that. it's sad that so many people think that way, they do understand who you really are. Your deiffanlty not overreacting, they are being jerks.

It's not right that they treated you in that way. And it's perfectly normal for you to be upset about what they said. If it were me, I wouldn't have asked if I could sit down next to somebody. I would have just sat down. Especially since there was hardly any room on the bus anyways. Don't let them get you down. You're better than that. It may not seem like it now, but you are a way better person who deserves to be treated with respect.

I agree with what rosesRblue said, just sit down next to them. Don't even bother to ask. It's a bus and you are entitled to sit whevever a spare seat may be. If they touch you in any way then its physcial harm and majority of people wouldn't. Just turn on your iPod and it should all be sweet.

The remarks are completely out of line. Personally, I would of said something back to the C&^% BUT being the more mature person you should just forget about it. The jerk was probably bored and you were just... there. If you feel what I'm saying.

hang in there, xo.

You didnt deserve to be treated that way!
That was so mean!
When something like this happens it can be incredibly hard to deal with because it cuts deep and makes us feel horrible.
It is important to keep strong and your head held up high.
If someone makes a remark turn around, look them in the eye and carry on.
Unfortunately people can be really mean.. you just have to handle it the best you can

there's nothing wrong with being upset over that, i would not like it at all if they did that to me. Next time perphaps just take a seat without asking, as others said above.good luck with everything.

pm me anytime if you ever need someone to talk to. <3

aww, i understand why you're upset!
But i wouldn't worry about them. My bus is often like that too, people have empty seats next to them and they put their bags on the, when they see people who want to sit down! I agree with the other people though- just sit down. I do it now- they have no right to stop you sitting there, they don't own the bus!
Try not to take it personally, but rememeber there's nothing wrong with being sensitive!
