Dwarf bullied

Postby Opsycat » Tue Sep 17, 2013 8:42 pm

Hello,
I am new here, I am a girl that has several body problem which make me
Vulnerable.
I am dwarf 142 cm height and look like child. When I go out. People don't
Take me seriously and tell me that I have to bring my parent with me.
I am adult 21 years old not a kids, I am tired of this scenario every day.
When I was applying for driving license. I was bullied badly.
The worker keep telling me that I am not 21 I look like 14.
And they told me that because I am short I couldn't reach the car.
I almost cry badly. Everyone seems very harsh and tough on me.
When I walked between the corridor everyone was staring at me like
I am not like them. It was very harsh experience.
I wish it wouldn't recur again or I will attempt suicide.
The guys that work their talk to other people and ignore me.
Also they lie to me about the information and the paper that I should talk.
They give other student paper and I don't received any and they help them.

Wow, sorry to hear that people are being so ignorant. As far as the driving, there are plenty of accommodations that can be made to adapt a vehicle to your needs. The DMV shouldn't legally be able to give you grief or deny you that right. To the people who stare and ignore you, think of it as their loss. They obviously feel insecure with themselves and feel the need to make others feel less than them. Carry yourself with pride and show them that you are who you are and they can either accept it or you can find other people worth your time :) Looking young has its perks; I'm 30 and can pass for probably late teens or early 20s. I act and feel about 16, so it works for me! :D Just as long as they treat you with respect, if not, then don't accept any less from them! It's sad that there are still people who act like this in the world today...you'd think they would have learned by now, wouldn't ya?
Normal is overrated :D

Many years ago, I had a friend with Turner's Syndrome==She had the physical aspects and not the mental aspects. She is super high in intelligence and is a school teacher and Baptist missionary.

She is about 4'11.

She had to develop the ego strength to be able to deal with idiots and she built herself up in her church and she worked directly with the church.

I guess that a strong DBT therapy and a good clatch of friends--away from the norm--and to be polite but firm with the norm but not to give them your energy--is the best way to go about it. While you are being private and introverted and buffering yourself, make yourself stronger--in your own faith (Christian/Muslim/whatever) and in your community and your discipline. As you learn more coping skills and assertiveness skills, you can branch out.

My friend KR had to really use a lot of assertiveness skills but she became very respected.

I don't know where she is now, but I am hoping that she's doing well.

One of the greatest blasphemies is the taking of one's freedom of thought, dictating matters of the heart and the theft of another's personal peace.

Everyday I live is an act of rebellion.

Just wanted to add that I have a friend who is 2'10 and has been driving for several years, so accommodations can be made! She's a very confident person and doesn't take crud from no one! :) Just let people know that you won't tolerate that kind of treatment.
