This is honestly too long to write an alt text for, sorry.

Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

Twitter screenshots and a tumblr user celebrating that people get made fun of for trying to be a little fashionable. This kinda sucks ...
Have a little fun mate. Not everyone is super conscious or insecure.
You're welcome! I took all of the insecurities so others don't have to!
I too have them, believe me. I‘m working on it. The crazy thing is: nothing ever happens. If someone calls out my balding hair, literally nothing happens. No laugh track, no bill, no meteorite. Just hit back or ignore it if they want to be mean.
I used to be really into mutual ribbing-based humor. What I learned was that it's pretty fun, until you misjudge the situation. IMO it's not worth it overall.
Saying sorry and meaning it, and never repeating what you did gets you out of that sorta situations gracefully.
A successful apology takes two people.
I was taught as kid that what I have to is to say (and be) sorry. What the other person does is not my responsibility. Some people can't take apology and there's not much you can or should do about it
Then just talk about it. Set boundaries. My friends and I are relentless but have topics and boundaries which are taboo. Just grow together.
Do you think the people in these twitter screenshots all talked about boundaries before talking shit about people they don't know?
Keep clutching your pearls. Or just let it be a little dumb but altogether funny experience from some irish blokes.
I mean it's Ireland, the boundaries are the borders of the country. If you live there and you dislike banter it's on you.
