Don't talk to me like I'm stupid

I spend my days doing homework, going to class, building sets, going to rehearsals, and keeping the theatre in good and working order. The last thing I want to hear every day is that someone thinks I am stupid. Five times today, by 5 separate people, I have been called stupid. I know I am not the smartest person in any subject, but I am not stupid. The fact that people think they can just call me an idiot to my face makes me so angry. I am a pretty non-confrontational person, so for the most part I just take it and try to forget about it. I suppose this blog post is my way of dealing with my frustration at how I fell about it. I would just like people to appreciate the work I do, and how hard I try to make everyone happy and successful. I know I am in the wrong career if approval is something I crave, because as a technician I will never be appreciated. All people will tell me is when I have done something wrong, and what they want me to do to fix it. I don't have a problem with that, but there is a difference between being unappreciated and being insulted. I am going to try to be in a better mood for the rest of the night, and forget about all of this by tomorrow. I guess being stressed with all the crazy thing in my life, and then being insulted repeatedly throughout the day just doesn't have a good effect on me.
