The 11 Signs That You're The Pale Friend
Chelsey Eatmon

There's always one pale friend, and if any of these relate to you, chances are, you are that friend.

1. Your friends have to put a filter on the Instagram picture of you guys and you STILL look pasty in them.

"Girl, you're just going to have to get over the fact that you'll forever look like a ghost."

2. "Are you Irish?"

Whether I am or not, that isn't the majority of the reason I am pale...but maybe it is.

3. "Hang on guys, I forgot my sunscreen."

If you can't find the SPF 50, you're not going.

4. "Did you remember your sunscreen? You're starting to look red..."

This is probably the most annoying question we get asked when we're out in the sun.

5. You can NEVER borrow anyone else's makeup.

They might as well make a shade called "Casper, the Friendly Ghost."

6. Don't use the flash! It'll make me look whiter than I already am!

7. Don't forget a hat before going anywhere in the sun!

Just grab that visor your mom used once when she went golfing - you'll be set.

8. You didn't think it was possible, but you actually look even pastier in the winter.

Thanks, snow - you're really killing our vibe here.

9. When you actually do get some color to you (not red), it seems to disappear once you shower.

10. Why don't you try a spray tan?

Because we could end up like Ross in that one episode of "Friends," that's why.

11. But all in all, you know that you're excessive white-ness just makes you more...you.

Express it, because you won't miraculously become tan any time soon.
