/dep/ - Depression

Most people rarely outgrow high school. In your place I'd just feel second hand embarrassment towards them and not show any reaction for something this petty that is not even worth thinking about.

>not show any reaction
After all these years, I've come to the conclusion that my reaction to it is irrelevant for them. The act of shouting nicknames at me is like an inside joke for them, their feeling of satisfaction is complete regardless of what I say in response.
>something this petty that is not even worth thinking about
Anon, this is the 3th year that I have to deal with it, this is something that really bothers me. I don't want to say the nicknames they call me but, for example, if someone randomly started shouting "cuckold" at your direction every time he saw you, couldn't that cause the people around you to form wrong ideas about you? I'm getting more anxious about walking around because of the possibility of being spotted by them on the streets.

It would cause that, but I don't care what people think since I perceive most of them as thoughtless NPCs, unless it really affects my career or social status. But I empathize with you.

At least it isn't that bad to the level of them recording you, stalking you, etc.

Do you stand out bad enough that wearing a cap with sunglasses and checking your surroundings to keep keep some distance be futile?

yeah this is bizarre how much normies are into these petty torments and how persistent they are in their behavior. simply asking them to leave you alone just makes it worse. you have to be very quick once they start doing this immediately leave or break off the conversation

>social status
This carries some risk, since I don't walk to places that far from home, so there's always a chance someone I know might be nearby. I also have no idea if they'd be brazen enough to do it if they saw me with my family.
>At least it isn't that bad to the level of them recording you, stalking you, etc
Well, yeah. I think it could be worse.
>Do you stand out bad enough…
Unfortunately, yes.
>keep some distance
My eyesight is terrible. I'm usually spotted first, not the other way around.

I was too autistic to realize it back then. Now I just try to get out of where I am quickly if I see them.
