wtf?

The last couple of weeks people have been saying things to me... things that I have to just wonder why anyone would say such things to anyone... just mean things to say. Today it happened again- I was just caught so totally off guard.

I do my make-up the same pretty much everyday. I don't wear a LOT of make-up, but enough that you can tell I have eyeshadow on... on my face I really don't wear much at all, so my skin is pretty much natural... just a little evened out a bit. So today I walked into the institute, say hi to my old roommate and her response? "your makeup makes you look dead. Your eyes are too dark. You have bags and dark circles. Your skin looks way to light- makes you look like a corpse."

What?? I was caught so off guard... what do you even say to that? I really didn't respond... I didn't know how... After standing there dumb-struck for a second she went on to say that my shirt (which is yellow) makes me look jaundiced...

So then, a couple of weeks ago I asked a guy at work if he'd like dessert (by the by- I'm a waitress). He said no because he didn't want to get as fat as I am. He was totally serious... I asked... there was no joking...

Again-- WHAT?? are people confusing me with someone else? Maybe someone who has an extraordinary amount of self esteem and can handle remarks like that? I don't think anyone CAN handle remarks like that!!

Seriously- if I'm ever making a joke about how hot I look it's at a time when I am SO OBVIOUSLY joking! Like me saying I look hot in my bridesmaid dress for an upcoming wedding I'm in- I am being so sarcastic! I don't think anyone would look good in that dress! Anyone who has seen pictures can second that.... it's just not pretty...

By the way- I spoke to my current roommate and she says I don't look dead. I realize I'm pale, but dead? REALLY???
