Unless it's nice? I mean...it's ok to say "Oh your hair looks nice" or "I like your top!" or ...perhaps it's ok to say "Oh...have you broken your arm?" if it's in a cast...but you DO NOT comment on other things.

A woman I know...nice woman, very sensible usually...today looked at me and said...."Oh! What have you done?!!" and pointed to my chest where I have a small collection of burst/broken blood vessels. I have pale skin so they do show up but wtf?

Her reaction was the same as if I'd rocked up with an open wound. They're obviously broken bloody veins!!!

she's made me all self conscious about them now. :(

I was wearing sandals the other day at a family bbq and my brother in law said "Oh my God your toes are so weird and freaky." Cue everyone looking at my feet. I have a big gap between my big toe and the next toe and it didn't bother me till now.

It's threads like these that make me eternally grateful for my resting bitch face

Shum SO rude! I just can't stand it! Things like this really affected me when I was in secondary school....I was already self conscious but there was always some cow waiting to say something like that!
