u/31butlook16norespect

I’m 31 y o man, who is disrespected almost daily because of this. In fact i was in my building minding my own business and someone asked me if i actually lived here because they thought i was a mischievous youth breaking in to cause trouble. It’s a tough life. But i definitely feel as if increasing my income will help because money speaks for itself. 

people say that what matters is what’s on the inside. Well, we live in the world that is contrary to that. people also say to not look for validation from others. All I want is to live in a reality where I don’t feel different. Where I’m treated just like any other 31 year old man. Am I asking for too much?
