True... I'm doing well despite the depression/anxiety. No shows at the moment except that one, it's about to come down. I'm working on a new project that I'm pretty excited about, though. Besides that, just working and schooling.
I'm having one of those days where i am talking before I'm thinking. In a conversation about the job with my boss, another guy who is a well known "yes man" and *** kisser was really outdoing himself and i butted into his big speach about profitibility and patting himself on the back (since he interrupted me) and i said "stop being such a god**** *** kisser!" Soooo he stormed off. ... and my higher up didn't like that, i could just tell from his demeanor. God i hate these people i work with. Just the idiots though. Ill probably get chewed out. Oh well, I've been chewed out before for being politically incorrect.
I'm very fair-skinned, and generally not self-conscious about it... except in the summer. It doesn't help that everyone around me is a deep amber or brown, but it's so much worse when some people feel the need to COMMENT on how pale I am. Every year it's the same. I'm always too angry to keep my mouth shut and I curse at them in a blind mixture of rage and anxiety, but sometimes the things they say make me want to stay in my house all summer.
I don't mean to sound self-pitying, but it seems I'm doomed to always have my appearance commented on negatively in one way or another, whether it's my skin, my age, my hands, my feet, my height. And of course I've had other things jabbed at too. None of these people were ever perfect, of course. I often wonder if I'm a sad exception, or everyone gets picked apart this much?

Aren't people wonderful?
I'm glad you said something to him. I wouldn't have the guts unless I was pissed off enough. Good job haha

I'm sorry people have to make others feel so studied and picked ana,lyzed. So you're fair skinned? Big deal. Lots of people are. People criticize your hands and feet? Last i heard, everybodys are different! I'm glad you snap back when they do you that a way weather it be anger or anxiety, I'm glad you get vocal. I like it when people speak up :thumbup: good job!

^Yep, it will always be that way for women in the Western world when our main value in society is our appearance.:sad:
I get picked apart by total strangers on different aspects of my appearance too, always have.
One of the many reasons I wish I was born a male. If a man is not what society considers good looking, he still has another way of being valued in Western society: his job. He can get an education and higher paying job to make up for not being good looking. Females who have a high paying job still have no value if she is not good looking.

Oh but i was. I don't like being rudely interrupted much less by that guy. I just can't stand him so when he blatantly interrupted me i was seeing red. I didn't get chewed out though, strangely enough..... yet......

It's not as if Opal isn't good looking, though.
She is small, female, and (no offense Opal) generally harmless looking. I suspect a lot of people simply see her as an easy target. Just a guess.

You girls are way too hard on yourselves. It ain't all about looks. Give me a choice of being out with a model with a bad attitude and no manners vs being on a date with a normal looking girl that's sweet and nice .... the model better not be holding her breath waitin for me to call her. Looks can be gone in a year but personality will probably be the same.
I really need to change my diet and stop eating a lot different stuff completely for awhile (junk food, sugar, etc), but I just can't seem to. I want to but I also really want to keep eating unhealthy food. It tastes good and makes me feel better, but I think my body needs me to stop eating it. I don't have enough self control. Arg.
What makes it harder is that I was allowed to eat as much junk food as I wanted when I was a kid. I wasn't taught to limit it or taught self-control with it.
