I finally decided to spoil myself last year and bought an expensive skirt/dress type of thing (I don't know what it's called in English) that has a pink heart in the chest. But I haven't dared to wear it since I got it, until last month, because I was afraid that people might react negatively.

But after I dared to put it on and put a cute hairstyle, a family member came into my room. They started yelling and telling everyone else in the house how I'm "dressing in children's clothing" and almost dragged me out of my room to show everyone how ridiculous I looked and everyone else was cringing about it. About what I was wearing, not how a family member thought that it was a good idea to humiliate me.

"Oh she wants to be a 3 year old kid"

"Why tf are you trying to be a child, grow up!"

"You should be going forward in life, not trying to become a baby again!!"

"Are you trying to get ped0philes interested in you, do you know what you look like?!"

Ever since that they've been like "oh you'd like this" every time we go past the children's clothing section and so on. I don't know what to do! Or how to stop it. They're telling me that it's infantilism, that I wanna wear pastel clothing and feel cute.

I was seriously just trying to chill on my own watching a movie in my room, I didn't even plan to go outside.

Do you have any advice or similar experiences? Let me know in the comments!
