Ok, so i have this problem. I always dress in black or dark colors and i've been doin this all my life. Some of my friends are starting to get pissed that i'm always dark. they're embarrassed when we go out in public just because of me. They yelled at me but i just told them to piss off. this can become a problem. Should i just keep telling them to shut the hell up and put up with it or try to deal it out with them?
advice is nice...
i don't care if it sucks like hell, just give me advice...
XxDev0ted2u answered Saturday February 26 2005, 11:20 am: its none of their business what you wear...just do what you wanna do....but maybe you should try wearing colors like green or blue...or maybe even pink....but if you dont want to and you want to keep wearin black and dark colors then do that...if your friends have a problem with it then they aint your friends think about this quote..."do what you want, and say what you feel because the people who mind dont matter, and the people who matter dont mind"...you dont say nothin to them when you dont like what they're wearin....so why the hell should they have the right to say shit to you and tell you how you can dress???

assia answered Saturday February 26 2005, 7:22 am: Dear,
Your friends criticizing you about the way you look is totally wrong and mean of them however do not fight with them over that, cloths are not worth as much as friendship. I think you might consider changing a bit the way you dress, what I mean is for example if you usually ware a bit old fashioned cloths maybe change to modern because black could give you that real cool look. Try mixing black with some neutral colors (e.g. white, cream) if you are not a “colorful person”. But wear something that “says you” not just something that people think you should wear. Of course you might introduce some color to your wardrobe just to see what it is like (do not if you totally hate colorful cloths and feel uncomfortable with them). Just remember be yourself but do not be afraid if change. [ assia's advice column | Ask assia A Question ]

femme1984 answered Friday February 25 2005, 8:51 pm: are you sure these are your friends? if they yell at you and are embarassed to be seen in public with you, then you better find other friends who will treat you with respect.
If they are tired of seeing you in dark colors, they could have suggested a "make-over" or something. Like, maybe they could go with you shop and make you try out other colors, maybe white.
I'm not sure why you prefer to dress in dark colors all the time, but you know, change can be good. You don't have to buy a lot of light colored clothes all of a sudden. Why don't you just try on some, in a fitting room or at home?
if you really don't like light colors then you are free to stick to your wardrobe but I don't think it's ok to be treated that way by your "friends". They should accept you the way you are, and if there is room for improvement, they should help you, not yell at you. [ femme1984's advice column | Ask femme1984 A Question ]
ShinyButton answered Friday February 25 2005, 8:34 pm: If it bothers them that much then they can't really be your friends. I don't want to say this to hurt you, but I have had it happen to me. Just be yourself and don't let anyone get in your way. As long as you do the right thing, you shouldn't care what anyone thinks. [ ShinyButton's advice column | Ask ShinyButton A Question ]

AskMuni answered Friday February 25 2005, 7:36 pm: If your friends yell at you because of what you wear, then they aren't your real friends. If you love wearing black and dark colors, wear them-they express who you are. If your "friends" bother you, just ignore them-they want you to be agitated and answer back. The silent treatment always works. Don't ever let other people control who you are. Dress the way you want to be seen, not the way your friends want you to be.

Teza answered Friday February 25 2005, 7:29 pm: thats not nice but i dont think you should change who you are for your friends. they should exept you for who you are not for what you wear! every single person always judges ppl by how they dress! tell ur friends to stop tho! maybe you should try wearing some clothes with a lil bit of color and see what they say! x0 [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

TheTeenGirl answered Friday February 25 2005, 5:44 pm: You should be done with your friends, how dare they do that to you, after years, they say something about it and get rude in embarresed in public. Get done with them, right now, don't speak to them, and if they say anything to you, don't say anything, at all. Even if they curse at you, not a word, they will get tired of being ignored, theres nothing more a person wants when they can't attention, and they get angry, so get them angry with the power of not saying a word. They are not friends, they just sound like stuck up snobs.
jcpennypanties answered Friday February 25 2005, 5:38 pm: Friends should be friends wether your gay,pregnant,black,asian,have big feet, or dress diffrently. If they dont like you for you, then move on friends are every where waiting to happen.Plus if you've been dressing like that for a long time they should have already seen, thats just who you are. Tell them to bite your butt. [ jcpennypanties's advice column | Ask jcpennypanties A Question ]
