i have a question

is "you look like you go to hot topic" considered a compliment or an insult?

i've had this said to me before a few times but i woke up today with my eye color changed and now even more people are telling me this

i do not know hot topic's reputation enough to know if i want to be associated with it. please help

Comments

i understand you are trying to be helpful, and i am somewhat grateful for that, but it's not something i have ever wanted to talk about openly especially with someone i do not know very well

please think of that before prying

i'd rather just be left alone and i don't want to change it mostly because there is no way to change this

it's just how things are and have always been

[me_matey]

FINE

i guess

but i stand by what i said. aint no shame in lookin' like that. if ppl r gonna hate, let'em hate.

[ohrlyeh]

you make it sound easy though

how do you just "let" other people hate you

[me_matey]

i mean i suck at this whole therapy thing so take all this with a big ol cuppa salt but

my whole life has been dealin with one kinda hardship or another and i didnt have time to worry about what other people thought. a hustla's gotta hustle, all day erryday, or they aint gonna eat, ya feel me? when it became about survival vs social standing, it was a lot easier to ignore haters.
