I'm Saying Don't Judge Me Until You've Walked In My Shoes

I am 31 but people think I am a kid of about 18 as I look so young. I am tiny as well which adds to the whole innocent/weak look.
I used to be an ex gymnast and the training was brutual. We would have to do intense conditioning, stretching and stick to a strict diet. I was an expert on calories by the age of 9 and knew of many peers who had eating disorders.
Later on in life, I dealt with a relatives suicide attempt single handed with no other family support. I learnt that most people even family, can let you down at the worst time in your life and that they can be utter disappointments.
So don't look at me as though I know nothing and I am some innocent, unworldly kid.

Sadly a lot of people just judge on appearances and don't take the time or effort to get to know that person. Best thing you can try is ignore them, if you aren't worthy of their time and effort then they aren't worthy of yours.

@Jenni855: Don't let them get to you, you know what type of person you are and what your story is. If someone is actually interested in getting to know you then they will find out who you are. But if they just take you as some gullible little girl, you show them! You go girl!!

You're very welcome. I know that the life of a gymnast is far from easy, I've watched docentaries about it, so you've my respect. :-)
