How do you handle it when it gets to be too much?

[MisticalMisty]

I consider myself to be a very confident ssbbw. I'm comfortable in my skin, I'm comfortable with the fact that not everyone is attracted to me. I'm comfortable with all the of the issues that I deal with on a daily basis.

But, after reading Mellie's post about her embarrassement and Saucy's post about how to handle the rude remarks, I wanted to ask a few questions.

#1. Are there times when all the stares, snickers, remarks etc get to be too much for you?

#2. If there are, what do you to to handle the feelings they cause?

I know for myself, sometimes it gets to be too much. Most times, I let the comments and snickers roll off my back. But there are times, when I just want to walk thru a mall or go to a restaurant without being the center of attention. There are times, I feel like a sideshow freak or something. I know, I KNOW I shouldn't feel this way but how can one not help it at times?

I want to know if any of you experience the same feelings and if you do how do you handle it. What's your coping mechanism? Does anyone else feel this ever or is this something I'm alone in? :doh:

I'd really appreciate any honest comments.
