Is this awful

Is it okay to be judgmental about another woman’s physical flaws when she’s laughing along with misogynistic bullies and making her own nasty comments about you.

Do you not think it’s weird that she’s laughing loudly when I go in my garden or walk past their living room. Or when she laughs when her son or husband calls me a dog and a boot and she says ‘I know she is’

Bear in mind i didn’t start any of this and its human nature to look at a person critically when they are commenting on you.

Just because they are behaving like nasty immature idiots, doesn't mean you have to lower yourself to their level. Why would their opinions bother you? The only opinions I care about are those of people I value. Not sad low lifes like your neighbours. Ignore them, they are doing it to get a rise out of you.

You sound fortunate enough to have good mental health and a support network.

Sadly not everybody is that lucky some of us have bad mental health and low self esteem we actually dwell on the negative remarks and even believe they must be true.
