    these girls in my cosmetology class said i dress too "loud" and were laughing and making fun of me and my clothes and hair.


    but i thought i had lost my groove, so i'm glad they let me know i'm riiiight on track.



    keepin' it real, tribal and eccentric

    For the purposes of your thread, I realize I joked around... but when ever people use sarcasm with regards to insulting my intelligence. I.E.: Way to go Einstein! I always say thank you I am brilliant aren't I? ;)

    Overhearing girls at my school saying "Look at that FREAK!!" and i always turn to look at them with a straight face for a while. It gets awkward. Then i smile wide and say, "Why thank you :)"
    They think I'm just trying to piss them off but really, being a freak is what i do best c:

    Why, thank you!

    The best are the insults hidden in a compliment, like:

    Oh I like this haircut way better than the last one.

    When I told my boyfriend's little sister what my dreads were she said "eww, that -is- dreadful" and that's how I thought of this screen name :)

    That is what I was like as a teenager and I carry it through to my 40s. If someone is going to be rude like that, especially at my age (or older), I make sure they know I heard what they said and turn it around on them like a joke on THEM by thanking them as you do! It IS hard to keep a straight face - some times I want to laugh.

    I get called dry and sarcastic, I enjoy being described as such.

    I've been called a hippie. It seems like a good thing to me but it was said with a scowl. I just laughed.

    People always call me a hippie/freak as an insult and I take it as a compliment :sunny:
    They also try and insult my parents and call them hippies (To be honest it's hard denying that!) and I take it as a positive.

    My brother likes to call me a dirty hippie in a negative tone. I don't mind at all when he says this.
    People call me crazy as well because I'm very free and do and say what I want to. I take it as a compliment because i'm not stuck in a life where I have to reform and march like everyone else.
