Yeah the bullying was my main reason as well. I mean you could still rock that aesthetic to a show, but the most I feel comfortable to do nowadays is black nail polish, lol. I could get away with more on stage probably, but I won’t feel comfortable like that now to be honest. The anxiety and bad experiences cut too deep I guess.
I’m nearly 40 and rediscovering my inner goth. Honestly don’t care if it looks “dumb”, I’m having a lot of fun! Just go for it, do what makes you happy.
Now the natural question here is…has the wife come around? When I declared my desire for a “summer goth cruise witch” aesthetic I’m happy to report my husband was all for it lol.
Yup… It was the main reason I stopped wearing make up and dressing like that. The bullying became unbearable.
Would be fun to try it again now, though… But I’m 30 so it’ll probably look dumb lol
The tendency of society to bully people into conformity is honestly one of its worst traits.
why can humans be so incredibly shitty? 😞

I might go and try it out next week, still got my old clothes somewhere maybe…
