I love the Friday eps, but I really love the Tuesday eps. But I get sad when I'm fully caught up on the podcast, and being caught up on a Friday episode hurts more than being caught up on a Tuesday, haha. So I always save the Friday eps and listen to both them and the Tuesday back to back on Tuesdays. And then I'm sad until Friday, haha.
I'm curious if anyone else experiences this, or has any insight to add.
I'm white and my cheeks turn red quite easily. If I get angry, if I just get warm from exercising, or even just if my metabolism kicks in.
All older white women seem to love to comment on this fact to me. "Your face is red." More than five women, completely independent of one another and without being mutually acquainted, have done this. Why is it socially acceptable to comment on my body doing something I have no control over, like I can do anything about it? One lady I used to work with used to say it to me almost every day, always passive aggressively implying that it was because I was angry. It was rarely because I was angry. I thought this was unique to her and wrote it off as a her problem. But now so many women comment on it so frequently, I'm questioning myself.
All the other ladies definitely didn't have any discernible ill intent in commenting about it to me. But it's kind of like, okay, thanks for telling me something I already know about because I can feel my own cheeks, and also that I can't do anything about, and thank you for making me self-conscious about it.
Should I be self-conscious about this? The women in my life seem to think so.
