Does Talking To Rude People Make a Difference?
Hello, I am a 20 yr old female, and I dress in a gothic style (not emo or scene which is really popular now)
I am aware that by looking weird, I will get weird looks which I'm fine with.
Lately however I have been yelled and cussed at purely for the way I am dressed which I view as immature.
I always ignore these people but I was thinking about confronting them.
Should I introduce myself to these people politely? And just try talking to them?
I would like to show someone that just because I look odd and have a different style that doesn't mean I'm a bad person.

I think if you do this, then you will be the role model and idol
for all misunderstood people in this world. However, its risky and not guaranteed to work.
Unfortunately, people judge by what they see. And then they dont give second chances. So if you choose to dress this way, then it would be easier to smile at them and say hello, because they will judge you by that. I personally can understand your situation since i am in high school and ama gothic harajuku fashionista, as people like to call me. they see my burgundy lipstick and dark eyeliner, and they see the black tutu and judge me, therefore i have ZERO friends, although i choose to go up and give them a friendly hello. so i think its a waste of time but theres no hurt in not trying! Go
out there and show the world who you really are, or else you might regret later that you didnt.

By the time someone is yelling or cursing at you, it's really unlikely that you are going to be able to reach them with polite conversation.
The people who just give you odd looks, or whisper and have slight negative responses like that, they are the ones you might be able to win over. Kill those people with kindness. Try talking to them.
However, the people who yell or curse, them you should ignore. You aren't going to reach them. Far better you keep yourself safe than approach someone who has already taken that position so violently.
You aren't going to reach everyone. Focus on the battles you actually have a chance of wining. Avoid the dead end ones that could escalate and become dangerous.

If you think it will help, go for it!
There's nothing like disprooving someone.
Good luck!
