Newborn, I gave up worrying about how people describe me a long time ago. Completely out of my control, and it doesn't really matter in the big scheme of things. Anyone that bases how they view me based off of how someone else describes me isn't really worth my time and energy. Those that base how they view me based on my own words and actions are worthy my time and energy.
Likewise, I do not let what others say or how other describe someone as my basis for how I view that person. Lots of biases out there, and biases are almost never worthy of credence. I dated a girl from Brazil back in my early 20s. She was an awesome person, and the only reason we didn't stay together was that neither of us was willing to relocate to the others' home country permanently. I found out later that people actually asked my parents how they felt about my dating her. SMH We live in an ugly world. Just do you and forget about the minutiae!
