Every friend group has the pale friend... The one whose skin is like porcelain and they're always blabbing about the sun being too hot for them to be in it. Yup, you know, the one who is always layering up if we're outside or re-applying extreme amounts of sunscreen. Well, I'm that friend, and here are eight struggles that my fellow pasty, pale girls and I go through being the pale one in the friend group...
1. We always ask if we'll be outside in the sun or can we find a shady spot when we go out during the day
It actually hurts being in the sun for too long and we can't let our friends forget it. We can't even go five or 10 minutes without starting to feel burnt, so sometimes we just avoid it all together.
2. Always gotta have our sunscreen with us
Might as well just bathe in it because we have to apply it so often.
3. And then we don't lather up as often as we usually would and need to deal with sunburn for days
Because when you don't bathe in lotion and you're in the sun for a minute too long, you literally can't breathe without everything hurting.
4. All your friends want to get spray tans but you can't because you're so pale they look unnatural
It's just not fair.
5. Our closets always look grim because any remotely pale color blends too much with our skin
We can't wear any beige, nude, light pink, light yellow, white or any colors remotely too pale because it basically just blends with your paleness...
6. We constantly hear Casper jokes
At least we're the friendly ghost, no?
7. Or vampire jokes...
Yes, we DO see daylight.
8. We are known as the palest member of your friend group
It's a thing and we just accept it.
