I'm a 21 year old female who is plus size (specifically 5xl) I've been plus size my entire life and have been bullied for it my whole life mostly by men. It's started to make me nervous around men recently whenever Im near men in person.
Back in September while a family member and I were in the car headed to an Audubon Society Center, we were making a turn and at this turn with a guy in his truck and his friend in the passenger seat, he rolled down his window and started laughing at me, pointed at me and called me a whale. We were literally in a car. My family member tried to convince me that it wasn't aimed at me but it definitely was.
Then in October me and the same family member were at a pumpkin patch which has a ton of fun stuff to do, and lots of yummy food. As we were passing by the food stand some guy yelled out "LOOK AT THE BIG BACK" as I walked by.
Once again the family member tried to convince me it wasn't aimed at me but I'm pretty sure it was.
This type of stuff happens like once a month normally and I'm not sure why but I'm starting to develop a fear of men and it's really messing me up. I told my therapist about it but it still bothers me..
