Defying Defeat Embracing the Warrior Within Shirt

I was born with a Defying Defeat Embracing the Warrior Within Shirt big strabismus, could barely see 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 Defying Defeat Embracing the Warrior Within 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.

After striking out really bad on Tinder years ago before I was married, I decided to create a fake account and pose as a Defying Defeat Embracing the Warrior Within Shirt to see what their experience was like. I was a borderline “niceguy” and was probably heading in the direction of MGTOWS and such. Found a pic of a lovely woman around the same age as me from a friend of a friends Facebook page and set the account up (this was before Tinder linked to FB so accounts were easier to create). Needless to say, the amount of just horrible shit comments and messages I received was eye-opening. It really changed the way I perceived why women made the choices they did in regards to dating and online interactions. I’m not coming at this from a white-knight standpoint since I’ve definitely been a shithead in the past but good lord did that little “experiment” help engender a Defying Defeat Embracing the Warrior Within Shirt of empathy within me that my mid 20’s ass really needed.

But, all the Defying Defeat Embracing the Warrior Within Shirt, whispered conversations, and cruel comments from other people in my dating cohort started. I kept aging out of those social circles, and now at 50 I am largely ignored. I have gone from unattractive to invisible.
