I'm sure we've all been though it in some way. The worst was when I had just finished high school. I was at a store and a girl one or two years younger than me was probably working part time but spoke to my friends normally but when it was my turn to order spoke to me like a child. She obviously knew who I was and thought I was mentally challenged. It was a major shock to realise that that was how people thought of me the whole time.
