Am I Overreacting?
I work with this woman who is maybe in her 50’s. She’s very straight forward, too much perhaps. Anyway, I brought in three bags of donations full of clothes a few days ago. I went into work today and this woman was sorting out the clothes that I had brought in. She held up this t-shirt to me and sort of laughed a little. I’m pretty sure she was shocked at the size of it because she was sort of looking at me while showing me the size of it. It was originally my brothers. Side note, my brother is on medication for a condition he has and this messes with his weight, he is obese. I said “Oh, that was my brothers”. She then replied with “you haven’t got anyone in your family that size have you?”. This shocked me.. completely. I just then said “well actually, yes I have”. She looked shocked and was like “have you?!”. I was thinking about this for the rest of the day. I really don’t like people making remarks about weight.. especially if they don’t know the person’s circumstances. Am I over-reacting?
