Got called at a wedding. Walked away without saying anything.
(33M)Went to a wedding last week, first one since COVID. Thought I’d spend a little on a new suit. Tailored. Got dressed up. The wedding was fun enough, but then…
I went to get some air and on the way back, one of the bridesmaid (Late 20s) and two female friends (Late 20s)were standing near the door leading to the dinner hall, clearing scanning for someone.
Bridesmaid: “Look for the hot guy in the blue suit.”
(I’m in a new tailored blue suit)
Friend: Yeah he was hot….
(I walk past…)
Friend #2: Is that him?
Bridemaid: Ew, no he’s ugly.
(I continue walking, pretending I didn’t hear)
I don’t think they were there to judge me directly, I think they were just loud and didn’t realize that I heard the whole thing, but still it was cruel and I spent the evening doom scrolling. This has taught be an important lesson, no matter how much I spend on clothes, watches, haircuts. I’m just ugly. My face is doomed. Last time I dare to hope.
Anyway, I walked away without saying anything, which was tough, but when I got home and tired to sleep, it just kept replaying, over and over and over.
I hate my life so much sometimes, honestly.
