Be taken seriously

I am a thirty year old woman, clean and presentable, with a university degree, a husband and two children. However, when I am at work, some customers do not take me seriously. I look young for my age and I have a young voice. These are aspects I cannot change, but I am a very capable and intelligent person who does not appreciate being treated like a “lesser” person because I work in food service. Frankly, I’m sick of it. I am working towards taking over my own store and I wish to be taken seriously.

Should I change my appearance?

I am so sick and tired of not being taken seriously. I am almost 40 years old and I am sick and tired of not being listened to and being chuckled at in an “aw how cute” way when I am trying to state something of a very serious matter (to name a couple of things). I may have a small speech impediment and I may have a mild hearing loss, but I am not a “dumb little thing who goes on these stupid little rants” or “stupid little worry wart who doesn’t know anything.”
I am just as smart, mature and capable as anyone else and I have proved myself time and time again on this. I am sick of not being listened to, being laughed at and ignored.

I wish I could be taken seriously too, Ill say something and my parents wont listen or just ignore it even though everytime I tell them something Im right. Or by the opposite sex, I told someone that I liked them and she said I was cute what am I supposed to do with that?

Particularly in work environment. Somehow people at work, who are older and somewhat have “more” experience than me, tend not to take me seriously…and i am sick of it. That’s one of the reason why i am right now taking a specialty in my field, so when i return to work i will be more prepare to face such asses.

Somehow this happened, and I got taken too seriously.

I may just be complaining but I’m over being ignored and taken as a joke. I’m not stupid and see the way people roll their eyes and contradict what I’ve already said. Is every perosn not intitled to their own opinion and own thoughts or do we have to become a mainstream world and follow each other’s every movement and word!

But also with the company you keep.

This still isn’t happening.

People just don’t seem to take me seriously sometimes. I wonder if it’s b/c I’m so young. Like my friends are all older than me and I feel as if half the time I missing out on something. I want to speak up but what’s the use, no one ever listens to what I have to say so what does it matter.

Well, it seems that way. Also seems that people never know what the hell I’m talking about it. So either I can’t communicate clearly, people just don’t know jack shit or my genius is just too much for the layperson. I’m going to go with the second one sprinkled with bits of the first.
