Hi! So I went to a staff meeting, looking pretty decent and smart, makeup down, hair straightened. (I'm a mother of 3 and work part time - trust me... I know when I feel and look like a mess or exhausted). A colleague of mine who didn't bother saying hi... just blurted out "You look really tired!!" (not in a caring way but rather with a smirk). Honestly, I did not know how to react to that as I know I was not nor did not look tired. Perhaps I did to her? Perhaps she was being spiteful? Perhaps she wanted to make me feel low? I felt a bit upset as it was aid in front of others. I know I would not say it to anyone else in that way even if I did think it about someone.
What do you think of this... am I over thinking? What would you say/ how would you react to someone if they commented on your looks in that way?
ps.. Its not a self esteem thing either - its just that women can take a dig in various ways... just felt like that.
