Hi All
I would just like others perspective on something that is bothering me somewhat.
I recently visited a hairdressers. It was a quiet day, just me and the owner/stylist.
It faces a cafe/bistro type place which has seating outside.
There were a number of young ladies and their children enjoying refreshments in the sunshine. No one really stood out, all looked well groomed and trendy.
The stylist starting harping on about one lady in particular, stating she thought she looked like a prostitute, she’d fallen of the rails, hit the bottle, taking drugs etc. I was shocked. Then she fetched her phone to take a covert photo. I said that she was being very unkind and it would be wrong and as far as I know she didn’t take the shot.
It’s still on my mind days later. I feel mortified for the lady. If I’m honest I think it bothers me not just because it was grossly unfair to the lady in question, but it touched a nerve as I think I have been subject to unfair & untrue gossip myself in the recent past.
I know there is nothing I can do anything about any of this but it doesn’t stop me feeling hurt and humiliated for myself or empathic towards the lady at the cafe. To add context I am not overly confident and am generally anxious myself so this might cloud my judgement.
I think for starters I should look for another hairdressers.
Covid vaccinations - should we still be having them?
Does anyone know what an emotional affair is?
How will you stop the strikes?
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
