This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 06, 2007:
There's different levels of this for me.
Do I care about what people think of me as a person? To an extent yes, and no as well. First of all it doesn't matter if I don't get along with everyone. I'm different. Just like everyone else. And frankly if you don't like me that's fine, because I promise you that if there isn't a real click when I meet you I won't pursue your companionship. My friends are small in number but extremely close.
Do I care about what people think about my general appearance? This being my makeup, hair, clothes, the outward appearance, HELLZ NO. I do my hair the way I like it, even when it looks far from mainstream and old women giggle at me in the grocery store. (The green summer hair had this, some of them would even follow me. Maybe they wish they had my guts when they were young?) I wear what I want (often a tee and jeans or a dress with a rockabilly flavor) and my jewelrey tends to have a spiritual or emotional meaning otherwise I don't bother. It has to remind me of something or someone.
However, I do get bothered if someone calls me fat, or if I think that's what they're thinking. But I grew up chubby. I was always hearing it. I've since become sick of it, and I am actually quite healthy even though I do have a small amount of belly fat. I dress to please my taste, but I also dress to hide my belly flaw.
I think its the things that are harder to change, like body fat, that bother me about being judged for more than my ever-changing hair or my wardrobe.
