So... I was planning on pulling an all nighter for my assignments and I went to buy a monster and some gum... and i meet a guy while waiting in line ('cause apparently the cash register ran out of money -they don't keep as much money at night than they do in the day; due to it getting robbed all the time- *snort*) and he sees my band tea and he's like "Oh man, you like Brand New?" And I'm all like "Hellz yeah, dude!" and we're waiting for the cashier and we talk about their music and I see that he keeps squinting his eyes and me being the very paranoid person I am I'm ask "is there something on my face?" and he shakes his head and tells me I have nice coloured eyes and I kinda chuckle and say "Thanks, they're just coloured contacts though." And for some reason that pisses him off and he's like "What a let down, you looked really cute." and at this point you can just see he's upset because he moves away and turns his back to me like our convo is over and then he turns around and says "You really shouldn't go around making guys like you for fake reasons."
And I'm so confused I just say "What?" and he just goes off, "Don't act like you don't know guys would think you attractive if you changes bits of yourself. I bet you like getting compliments for your lies." And something I really am not okay is guys pretty much calling me out on the spot... like I dealt with that in middle school... and I became bulimic... I still struggle with that shit... and my entire identity is skewed, so I struggle with accepting myself and I really haven't felt like I ever fit in... so I just stick to myself and keeping quiet... and this guy acted as if I'd been lying to him his whole life, like i did it diliberately to piss him off...
In reality I've been wearing coloured contacts because I don't like my natural eye colour and because my eye-doctor said they'd go well with my prom dress (I've been wearing them for over a year now, I got them specifically for prom)... and I did like being complimented... I really did... Iiked feeling pretty and appreciated like all the other girls in my highschool who were skinny and tanned and have fat in all the right places...
so to be accepted, fuck yeah I did it for the comments... and when he said that I did it for that... it struck a chord, because I realized a part of me did do it for the attention... but then I realized... my mum spent 800 dollars on a years worth of these contacts, and they're prescribed for my horrid eye sight and what the fuck is wrong with wanting to feel beautiful?
So I just lost my shit and I tell him, "So what? So what if I like wearing coloured contacts to make me feel pretty?! What gives you the fucking right to call me a liar, I told you right off the bat they were fake and I could have lied and said they were my natural eye colour. Shut the fuck up! Just shut up! I don't owe you anything, you and I talked to each other off our own free will. So you can go piss off and die!" and I just left everything on the counter and ran home... because the guy really was upset over it...
I rarely get such negative responses...
I mean, last week I had a guy ask the same thing and he said "Oh, you nearly got me! Man, you would have been pretty." like wtf... you're basing my quality of beauty over eye color? who the fuck is more superficial here?!
I'm just so done... So done with guys approaching me solely based on the color of my eyes...
If I take them off no one even stops and stares, but if I have them in I always get at least one comment on how nice I look that day...
and it both pissed me off and makes me feel worthy of something... and I already told my mum I'd be buying glasses because I'm just done with struggling with feeling pretty...
Besides, sooner or later I'm going to run out and my sight get's worse each year (I think i'll be legally blind by the time I'm in my late twenties *shrugs* so the doc says)... and they don't make color contacts for my poor sight anymore...
Gotta deal with reality sooner or later y'know?
But yeah... I ran home and I was shaking because I was both sad and scared by the reaction and occurrence...
it's really nothing... just stupid people I guess...
I just took the long rant response ^-^ sorry...
