I hate being pale

[Pricelessadvice]

Does anyone else pale just hate wearing summer clothes?
Undortunately I’m not even a nice even pale. I’m outdoorsy/farm/livery yard so I tend to be ‘patchy’ where my arms and face and neck get weathered but the rest of me is practically blue it’s so white. I wear a vest top and I look like a patchwork quilt. I have to fake tan my legs because they are just awful- freckly, white and horrid. No summer clothes look nice against my skin 😞 I also have freckles, again in patches, so looks awful. But fake tan is time consuming and messy and never looks great. I just want to put a pair of shorts on and not have to go through the rigmarole of tanning.

People constantly comment on how white i am and it just makes me more self conscious. I can’t help the skin I was born in. I burn horribly after short exposure to sun and then just peel and go back to my natural colour. I never catch the sun evenly, I just burn. I don’t understand why it’s acceptable to mock people who are pale. Surely we should be past making horrible comments about skin type?

I love summer but hate summer clothes. I feel far more comfortable in winter clothes where I can hide my skin from people’s comments.

I was walking behind a girl before with beautiful olive skin- even and flawless. She looked gorgeous in her clothes.
Anyone else have this problem?

Wondering why my post has been hidden, there was nothing bad in there. Just sympathising with OP being a fellow pale person 😮

I naturally tan very well on my upper half but have super white legs (which I think is quite common!). The contrast is funny. I just laugh about it and call them my milk bottle legs. We are what we are and we can either accept it or torture ourselves about it.

Honestly- being pale is fine! I am at peace too - I bet you look younger than your browner friends. I am ginger and pale and am happy with it! Although I have to say I wasn’t when I was at school.

What is wrong with people being brainwashed to hate their own ethnic features. Pale is beautiful. The media and other factors are making white people hate themselves in so many ways. And especially white women are being manipulated into believing they need fake tan, dark hair dye, lip fillers, butt implants to mimic the ethnic features of other races. Your racial characteristics are beautiful. We fair folk are the global minority. If we don’t start valuing our ethnic features and choose partners who share ethnic characteristics, we will die out. We are already dramatically in danger of dying out.
