I don’t even mean this in a dating sense.
I became really good friends with someone from work. We’d never met in person, just calls and messages. We could talk for hours, joke around, complain about work, share random things. It honestly felt like a real friendship.
Today this incident totally broke me.
We had planned to meet after work. We’d both talked about it and were actually looking forward to it.
When I got there, she barely acknowledged me. It felt like we were strangers. I didn’t force a conversation because I could already tell something was different.
A little later she texted me, “I can’t meet you.”
The reason she gave was that one of her colleagues had offered to drop her home, and she couldn’t say no because he knows she usually travels by bus.
Maybe that’s all it was. But I couldn’t stop thinking that if I looked different, things might have gone differently.
The only thing that had changed between all those phone calls and today… was that she finally saw me.
That feeling is hard to explain.
People always talk about pretty privilege, but nobody talks about what it’s like on the other side.
When you’re unattractive, and especially when you’re dark-skinned, you start questioning everything. Was it really because of the ride? Or did seeing me change how she saw me?
I’m not even talking about dating.
I’m talking about feeling like you don’t even get the same chance to be someone’s friend.
People say, “Looks don’t matter.”
Maybe they don’t after people know you. But first impressions do.
Sometimes it feels like being ugly means you’re judged before you’ve even had a chance to be yourself.
I don’t know if I’m overthinking it.
I just know that today hurt more than I expected.
Don’t come at me for using Ai to polish it my eyes are blurry and
**TL DR:** Became close friends with a coworker over calls and messages, nothing romantic, just a genuine friendship. The day we finally met in person, her behaviour completely changed, she cancelled our plan with what felt like an excuse, and I walked away feeling like my appearance and dark skin mattered more than the person she got to know over months.
