Yesterday when me and Karen were eating, I was talking about how I want contacts, and that my mom couldn’t wear them because she had too much trouble putting them in, and the doctor said it’s because mom has small eyes. Karen said “Oh yeah, she has those tiny little eyes, so do you” I tried to act like it didn’t upset me but I did a poor job.
Is it socially acceptable to say something like that? It’s not like I don’t already have giant insecurities about the size and shape of my eyes….that sure as shit didn’t help. Actually a few years ago my former peer support said it too. Are my eyes really that god damn tiny that people feel the intense need to point it out?!
This is why I wear fucking sunglasses all the time.
I honestly never thought mom’s eyes or mine were particularly small until a few years ago. I thought mine were crooked, weird and upturned but I did not think they were that small? What the heck.
That’s been bugging me since yesterday’s lunch. 😓
