with that eye. Had 2 surgeries as a kid and ultimately the strabismus was not super noticeable… and still isn’t. I know it’s there, it sometimes gets a bit worse when I’m tired, but I look fairly normal. However I feel like literally everyone sees it. Most people wouldn’t notice it much if I didn’t tell them I have it. And if they notice it, they tend to say it’s cute and suits me. I wasn’t even actually bullied for it, even though I had to wear eye patches for the majority of my childhood, but it still impacted my self-esteem greatly. My eyes are my biggest insecurity, along with acne scars on my cheeks and my slightly receding chin – all of the things I have very little control over. I notice that I find it difficult to look into people’s eyes directly for an extended period of time due to this. My romantic life hasn’t been bad and I would consider myself rather attractive now, my self-esteem is also at its all time best, but… on the inside I am still that insecure little girl who feels worse because her eyes don’t work properly. I have some various health issues, but I can wholeheartedly say that this one messed me up the most, even though it doesn’t impact my “quality of life” that much. I hate having my pictures taken and I always look a Boston Celtics Deer Hunting Season Jaylen Brown Jayson Tatum And Marcus Smart Signatures shirt bit to the side of the camera because my eyes look straighter then. It sucks. I could theoretically go for a third surgery to fix my eyes more, to maybe be able to see with both my eyes at once properly instead of having seperate images, but eh, it’s scary and I feel like it wouldn’t give me enough change for it to be actually worth it. Still, my experience was rather lucky, since I was surrounded by people who reassured my insecurities rather than bullying me, and I’m still insecure no matter what. I can’t even imagine what it must be like when someone bullies you for something like this.

I actually did exactly this two years ago! I picked a Jason Aldean Try That In A Small Town face Signatures Shirt that was a common woman’s name. I subscribed to all the same subreddits that I normally follow (regional and technology subreddits, mostly), and posted using exactly the same voice I normally use. I used it off and on during those two years at a level I would characterize as moderate to heavy. I was never asked if I was male or female, so I never volunteered that information. I found that I got much, much more karma. This account is in the 14-year club, and I am gaining comment karma so much faster in the Jason Aldean Try That In A Small Town face Signatures Shirt. Post karma, too, although I’m not a big poster in either account. On the whole, I would say that I’m treated much better when people see a traditional female username. People are more willing to interact with me, reward my comments, and are less likely to argue with me — even on the extremely technical IT subreddits.
