I've been stuck in this mood lately that I don't look how I feel, I don't feel like I am giving myself a good enough representation.

5 or 6 years ago I was known as a brutally honest bi***, I didn't shy away from discussing big things, or not so well accepted public topics. Meaning I was very pro sex, a feminist, LGBTQ, a suffer of depression and anxiety(and I'm not shy). Recently I've noticed that people treat me differently, and it's been such a gradual change that I honestly hadn't noticed. People get offended, or berate me for being pansexual, or for being a raging feminist where before they'd just take me with a grain of salt and be on their way. I don't mind a debate, or conversation and I'm proud to learn from other people and accept new opinions but if I'm right, or your a racist/sexist *kitten*? To bad.

Ever since I got married, and right before that, people treat me like this dainty, soft hearted bride-to-be/bride, that my husband was my definer in life. Just the other day I had a woman get offended at the grocery store when I told Ghost(my hubs) that if he wanted something done, he could do it himself. He didn't care, gave me a laugh and it was all fine. This lady? She stopped me in the freezer aisle and told me that I 'shouldn't treat him that way or he won't stick around'. I showed her my ring and told her that he was stuck with me till the end of the line and walked away.

I didn't lose my independence when I got married, I'm part of a couple, not the second part of a matched set. I'm not always with him. We don't do everything together, hell we don't even share a ton of interests.

Along with my weight loss I've decided to change up some other things physically to help me feel more like...well me. A new hair cut, a couple of new piercings and maybe even some ink.

Anyone get into things like this? Where you suddenly realize your life isn't going the way you want it to, or you don't feel like yourself?
