I have a weird dream.. so I was in a room with some other people. There’s a woman who was instructing us about life or something. I remember how she always picks on me and I can hear the others talking or laughing behind my back. I become both annoyed and anxious hating to be in the center of unwanted attention. Then the woman asked one of the girl to give her a rubber band. I don’t know why but I think she wanted to do a small demonstration with it.
The girl gave the band to the woman. The woman took it and look at it with a disappointment. She said “you called this a rubber band? It’s looks weak, I need a rubber band tougher than that. Like a man.” She was insulting the girl for her own trait for being a girl. I got mad at the woman knowing she had crossed the line.
I told her “What does it matter? It’s just f**’ing rubber band?!” I literally raised my voice at her. In my head, I can take her insulting me but when it comes to someone else’s, that got me all rattled up.
The woman got shocked that someone as quiet as me finally stood up and speak up. The whole room got quiet and I can feel the tension, I can sense everyone was just as shock as she was. I could tell she wanted to argue back but I didn’t back down as I continued to stares at her, telling her just drop it and move on with the next lesson. She did.
