How my mom reacts and how she should:
- whenever i try a new outfit and my kinda proud of how it looks all together i sometimes go downstairs to show my mom, (for some unknown reason) i think that she will like it, but she never doesn’t. I ask her what she thinks and then she always answer something like: “ what are you wearing?!? You can’t go around looking like that!” (I am either wearing a cosplay or an actual outfit for school or something, which would be a graphic t-shirt, black pans, some chains and boots). I usually ask her what’s wrong with it and she answers: “it looks terrible!/it doesn’t suit you!/what will other people think?!/you are going out like that?!?”
-If she sees that it makes me happy, she shouldn’t respond like that. I mean she doesn’t have to pretend to like it or anything, but she could respond nicer. Like asking me first what i think, saing that it’s not really her style but if it’s makes me feel good it’s good enough for her or just trying to understand why i like it... for comparison whenever my mom shops around and asks me my opinion on a piece of clothing that she likes, i am expected to love it. When i tell her that it doesn’t suit her with a reason for my opinion, like because it’s a weird blue patern and it doesn’t go very well with her shin tone, she gets mad at me.
