Today, I was told to rub in my sunscreen because I looked like a ghost. I wasn't wearing any. I'm just that white. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while filling out paperwork at the dermatologist's, it asked what color I would use to describe my skin tone. When the nurse saw that I chose fair, she mumbled, "Ghost is more like it." I have a severe sun allergy. FML
Today, I was called a wimp for getting a sunburn. FML
Today, I decided not to wear any makeup. I got told 13 times at work that I looked ill. FML
Today, I was really badly sunburnt, so I put on some after-sun. The only type we have has glitter in it, and now I look like a sparkling tomato. FML
Today, at a science-fiction convention, a woman came up to me and told me that my white face paint was a mess, my contacts looked cheap, and my costume was an all-round failure. I wasn't wearing a costume, I'm an albino. FML
Today, I used sunscreen on my face. Said sunscreen was expired and I had an allergic reaction. FML
Today, I was badly sunburnt even after making it a point to apply a lot of sunscreen. My coworkers thought it amusing to slap me every chance they get. FML
Today, I'm so pale, my boss asked me whether I light up in the dark. FML
Today, it was hot out, so I wore shorts. My dad took one look at me and said, "Your thighs are so pale, it's like staring into the sun". FML
Today, I got a spray tan. The lady asked what shade I wanted to be, and joking, I said the darkest. She took it seriously. Now no one can recognize me, and I have work tomorrow. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your skin is beautiful as it is. Forget about everyone ouy there addicted to tanning. I never get what all this changing your skin, changing your hair, etc etc is all about.

As a fellow fair-skinned person, I feel your pain. I can't be outside for more than 10 minutes or I burn to a crisp. I always lather up on SPF 100. I never could tan; I just burn and peel. But OP, I'd rather be super pale than look like a piece of worn leather. Being tan is vastly overrated. If you're naturally tan, okay, but I hate when people say you need to get some sun because you're so pale. Embrace your fair skin, and be safe in the sun! :)

Honestly be proud, pale skin is gorgeous and tanning all the time isn't healthy
