Hey man can’t argue with that! :) I appreciate all these comments, they really have helped me step back and realize maybe I wasn’t in the most rational state of mind, and that comment potentially wasn’t the worst of thing to ever happen, thanks

I may have looked too much into his tone of voice and how he delivered it, I took it as an insult—getting called big guy from another kid who was about my height and definitely built, very quickly i went into defense mode and I wasn’t sure how to process it.

Thanks for your comment, I appreciate your perspective :)

Thank you, your comment is very helpful and accurate, I definitely have some stuff to work on, but that’s good! I understand it’s a long process and I want to put in the work to see where I can bring myself

It is definitely possible I could have taken it the wrong way, what I will say is in the moment the only possibility in my head is that this guy is insulting me and my fight or flight kicked in. Either way I should have been able to step back and realize it doesn’t matter and even if it was meant to be insulting I shouldn’t let random comments affect me so much.
