I wouldn't mind being dark skinned, then I wouldn't have to worry about getting a tan Wink

Yeah I feel you, issa. Sometimes I wish I was black or had dark skin so I wouldn't blush/flush. That way I'd have a permanent face tone. Awesome...

I HATE my skin colour!! I'm v self conscious about myself in many ways and being pale is definitly one of them that really depresses me!!...I suppose mainly because being pale isn't looked upon as being glamourous or whats expected these days. What I mean is usually if your not naturally tanned, your expected to fake it with fake tans rather than walk round looking like a ghost...... Rolling Eyes

An aunty of mine used to call me ghost - bitch. I have never used a fake tan - some gloop all over me clogging up my pores - and the thought of it running or getting blotchy in spots and wearing off unevenly - no i think worrying about all that junk would make me more insecure.

I am quite a blusher myself...and it has prevented me from doing a lot of things. I do have to say that I used to have a black friend with dark skin...a very quiet person. I did notice when she blushed. The weird thing is my husband is Hispanic and other white people don't notice when he feels sick and has turned pale.

I don't know how you do it man. I am black and I blush like crazy. I don't like blushing either. I think, in other's eyes, it shows wimpyness and they don't take you seriously/walk all over you. Most of the time, I can't help it. It's an automatic response.
