Special interests aside of course

Man. I don’t have sensory issues with wearing whatever, but I’ve been getting grilled lately for not being “fashionable” and some people in my life have even gone as far to say that’s why I’ve historically had trouble dating/making friends.

Tbh, I just wear whatever is easiest to put on- if that’s a polo and jeans at the top of my clean laundry, then so be it. If one of my last clean outfits is a flannel and khakis in my closet, then it’ll be that. If it’s a logo t and jeans? You get the picture. But apparently there’s something wrong with that and I need to be “more fashionable?” As someone who is color blind, I’m not exactly sure how I’m supposed to tell what colors best suit my skin tone/go well together. Like I said it all feels the same, so I’m not sure why something so minor would make or break continuing to hang out with someone but it seems like that is that case :/

    I think it's so interesting when people have the opposite experiences as me! I used to try to wear "outfits" and make sure I looked relatively good for stuff. I hated it. And then I transitioned and now I revel in being an unstylish gremlin! Hell yeah I'm wearing a weird orange tee with navy blue sweatshorts and (different weird orange) flipflops! Absolutely that is happening! party-sicko
