Psychological AbuseMale youth
Just a a bit of a rant I guess. On my way home I've been yelled at by two male teenagers two times this week. Not specific words. Just screaming. Maybe they are the same ones.
It makes me a bit paranoid as I I've moved here and in with my girlfriend last year. It makes me wonder if it could have anything to do with my sexuality and if I should be afraid.
I was bullied and threatened as a kid by peers as well and the fear of specifically male youth has always stuck. I've thought about becoming a teacher in the past, but that's the main reason that kept me from it.
It occasionally happens on the bus too or other public places. Not against me personally per se but the obnoxious behaviour very much so. Yelling, making a mess, loud music and they pretty much always get away with it, because nobody dares to say anything.
It reminds me of what I hate about being a woman. The vulnerability. The being physically weaker.
Anyone else recognises themselves in this story?
I'm glad I had my earbuds in both times, even though it wasn't playing anything at the moment, because it makes it easier to pretend I didn't hear them as well.
Maybe there is nothing to worry about and it's not something specifically about me that set these teens off, but it sure is f*cking annoying. *Rant over
Ps: I hope this is the right circle btw. Topic is mainly the shitty behavior of male youth and how it bothers me, even though this example was not physically violent and perhaps only a minor nuisance to some, it does affect me quite a bit and I simply don't have this experience with girls. The behavior itself generally speaking, but more importantly the experience of feeling threatened by them.
