<human>: This morning at 7am, a good friend of mine sent me a carefully worded message letting me know that when I left yesterday, my activist group had a serious discussion about my wardrobe. Apparently, what I wore yesterday (a baggy grey sweater, a pink scarf, pink short shorts, and pink wedge boots... plus my pink hair) was distracting from the message of the activism. The worst part is that I live in a culture in which they are 100% right.  Because I was wearing shorts and heels (and of course, my hair), many people took photos of me on the street (even an elderly couple who remarked about the "naked girl") and there was a noticeable increase in the street harassment I received. This negatively impacted our success yesterday. 

I am trying to take this in stride, and rethink the way I present myself, because being yourself 100% of the time is not always conducive to success. But inevitably, I'm feeling embarrassed and ashamed, and I've been in my room all morning, crying.

Just as I was psyching myself up to get ready to leave the house (maybe to visit some second hand stores to pick up some more modest clothing), I over-heard one of my roommates ask where I was. The other roommates replied that I don't wake up until 7pm. That really hurt, because I wake up early and go running every day. When I get home I do yoga in my room, shower, get dressed, put on my make-up, study or work from my computer, dick around online, eat, etc. They don't normally see me until I leave in the afternoon to go volunteer. 

All in all, I feel upset that people are talking about me behind my back, but I also understand where they're coming from, because none of the comments were malicious. People talk about each other all the time and if the worst that people say about me is that I dress too sexy and they don't see me around, I'm not exactly in social ruin.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: I guess I'm just wondering how you guys have picked yourselves up in the past after experiencing the heart-break of gossip.
