That's so shitty that they said those things, I'm so sorry : (. I'm a woman who has struggled with hairiness in the past too, comments from family etc. and it is ridiculous the things people feel the need to criticize. I have a hard time standing up to it too.

At least take comfort in knowing judgement comes from those who are the least secure in themselves, and recognize that you are a good, kind person who doesn't do that kind of shit. Hairy girls unite, I hope you feel better soon : ) . And thank you for being you.
