Business what?!?!?!

I know I am an independent craft seller.
This was a slight relief to hear, but its still not good news:

I mean relief in a catty way.

I feel business is far from being related to business. Most issues and problems that I deal with are not even business related. I want to grow more with networking, more crafting ideas, more sales, more growth as a business overall.

I feel bombarded on all ends.
I feel tested, manipulated, interrogated, accused, harassed in a variety of ways including sexual harassment.
I almost feel I have to adjust and adapt all work experience to feeling so bombarded, the bombardment pattern never seems to end.

Yes, there are some sales, there is some literal business talk.
It is very draining though. Very draining.
I feel mostly tested with the race issue. Extremely hawkish race testing. I learned a new hat just last week. A Kufi hat. It was made to order and he hasn't met up with me yet. Fine, maybe I profiled a little. Until I have enough Kufis made to sell as themselves, I only pinpoint men that look foreign as arab, muslims, or africans. Look in wikipedia and see the literal description of the Kufi:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kufi

Women and the average white person do not typically wear them. OMG just shoot me why don't you.

Also, I did cat it down to say: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. It is a lighter interpretation of: When life gives you Mo (sexual harassment and degradations), make mosaics. I'm not being a pervert with people. The mosaics are not meant to be sexually perverse. They are very abstract in design. I see how people of fame connect themselves to my art, but I have spent all summer making my mosaics. I was not the person who made the choice to connect my art to people.
After feeling harshly accused, one circular box almost looks like a swastika, but it is a lie. Its not a design I was even trying to make, it is not an ultimate design of a swastika. It was meant to be another swirly design.

I'm not talking about sexual harassment experienced today.

I pick up on small hints of people all of the time. It is not a direct insinuation, some people may not even consciously know what they are saying.

I have random purposeful distractions.
Awkard people and people who are difficult and complicated to have simple communication.

To top it off, is knowing I am being watched and even sometimes hearing the reactions of the people who watch me.

Sick of whoever the stupid leader is who is trying to give a Spanish Inquisition. I think it is the matrix man who should be the embarassed one.

Even when it is my own business, people still want to tell me what to do.
In networking and learning new places or crafting ideas, I do not mind suggestions.
But my business is MY BUSINESS.
