I was a slightly bigger kid growing up, a little fatter and a little taller. So every body expected me to play sports, wrestle, football, basketball all the jock stuff so I gave it all a try and I ended up being average at best. You know what I excelled at, music, art, choral arts.
When it was time for me to leave home and get my own place and move in with my fiancé, my whole family turned against because they expected me to stay home and take car of my mother. she wasn't sick just single.
Fast forward. I'm working as a maintenance man and I go in this old with ladies apartment to fix her toilet and she calls the rental office to ask the who I am and how long I have been working there after I explain it to her three time, yeah I thought it was raciest to. then I just chalked it up to ignorance.
People will always assume what they want just from appearances, and the way they were brought up. All you can do is stand strong, state your case and keep on moving, forget them. They not worth your time, life is to short to worry about it.
