I was out clubbing last night and was in the smoking area (don't smoke but needed to cool down) and this guy came up to us. He asked if we were students before asking us what year we were in. After my friend said she was a third year he said something along the lines of 'oh shut up, you haven't even reached puberty yet'. And he didn't say it in a really jokey way, I could tell he was just being a dick.
To be honest, that really annoyed me. My friend has been feeling really down lately about things and the night was already pretty ****ty and then this little prick comes along and carelessly insults her. I know some of you wouldn't think it a big deal but I know it's the one thing that she is actually pretty self-conscious about, she's very petite and often says she feels like she looks too young. So I knew it would have made her feel like crap.
But the ironic thing is he was short himself and didn't look like a fully mature man. So I laid into him and told him that it's pitiful that whilst he's probably gone through puberty he'd never look like a proper man because of his height, and I pointed to his friend and said 'now he's a real man but you'd never be one'. I probably said more than this but my memory is fuzzy.
Tbh I still feel annoyed at the guy, my friend is gorgeous and so sweet but really lacks confidence, and I just know this kind of thing will stick with her. But I can't help feel that I've done the same to someone else and made their insecurities worse :/
