Are you pale?
I was in Starbucks recently and the barista said your skin is beautiful, but you are so pale. I just stood there feeling stupid. But how do you respond to being told you are pale? Yes, I am pale, but ….
...I am frustrated for you. What a comment...
You are pale because you are choosing to protect the only skin you will ever have. I know it's hard to come up with something in the moment like that, but that is what it amounts to. Goodness--people can be something else. I am so sorry that happened to you.
