Mean girls/Rude boys (men)

Anyone had any one of these incidents?? I am younger than my years, or was until my hair started falling out. That was 4/08. Maybe it was because I used to go to a club on Saturday nights..my baby fine hair did nothing, so I would always wear a cool blonde wig...it made me feel better about myself..until...maybe it was the alcohol too but women would "look" at me and I would see that they were talking about me, and then their friends would "look"..it made me feel self conscious. The time when some mean girls (drunk, no doubt) walked behind me and tugged on my "hair"...luckily it didn't come off, but they sure wanted it to. Then the rude boys (men)..alcohol, again played a part...they thought I was a dude (looks like a lady)and one even was looking to see if I had an adam's apple, and told me so !!!! I was mortified. It was something I remember to this day and shudder. Did they ever think maybe someone has a medical condition or hereditary condition, or was undergoing cancer treatment ?? Why were they so cruel ??? Or did they ever think that maybe I just had fine straight limp hair that did nothing, so I wanted to look better???? That hurt.

To Tallgirl...unfortunately, it IS a classy club...Blue Martini in Tampa, they have a chain nationwide. I would expect a trashy club to bring in trashy cliente who didn't know how to act..but alcohol can make people behave in a way they might not normally. And being that I did have all ..all...of my hair then, just choosing to wear a wig to look like I had a nice head of hair, instead of what I did have...I would give anything to have ALL..ALL ...of my own hair back now..I pray every night it would grown back in and stop shedding...I will continue to pray and never give up hope. Thanks for your response.

I could not imaging going through that. I have been out and heard saw people talking and I couldn't help but think they were talking about my "hair". When I'm at a bar I'm there with friends that would never let anyone give me a hard time about "hair".
I did have an incident recently when I was on vacation. My good friend from high school my son and myself went to De Leon to swim. I took my wig off and walked around in my mohawk and some kids made some comment and as hard as it was for a moment I kept my head up and kept right on walking just like I didn't hear them and that was the only thing I heard all day. I probably could said something to those and told them I have a medical condition I could have told them I had cancer and I don't think it would have made a difference. I don't go out with out my hair or something on my head and the few times that I have I have found that the best way to handle anyone that is rude or just staring is to have confidence (even if you dont) and act like everything is fine.

Maybe go to places with more classy, intelligent, polite and sober people?
