I will buy whatever, without thinking about the chick who's selling it to me. I will admit I get treated differently in some stores. I am NOT a size 2, I am not thin. I have too much of an ass to wear clothes from Abercrombie. I went into Abercrombie to buy an outfit and get a gift card for my little cousin who likes the store. The girls in there gave me dirty looks, like, "why is she in here, nothing here fits her" No one offered me any kind of help (but were quick to offer help to the thin girls who came in and no, they were not busy) When I finally did ask for help one of the girls went out of her way to tell me "our larges run really, REALLY small" I was like, "look, the shirt I'm holding up is a god damned medium and I am obviously NOT a medium so OBVIOUSLY it's not for me, I've never been a medium top, I'm a 38DD, take your rude ass customer service and shove it up your boney little ass." Then I walked out and just ordered my cousins stuff online.
We live in a society that treats not so attractive people (or people who just don't fit the social standard of beauty) like shit and social outcasts, while pretty people are put on pedestals and treated like royalty. I can completely understand a female feeling so self conscious about her self that she avoids interaction with females who she sees as attractive/more attractive than her. People with low self esteem often feel as if the vast majority of people they come in contact with judge them. The article really makes a lot of sense and is pretty interesting.
