You asked; people answered. This is not belittling.
"You just need to get over it" is belittling. But I'm not overreacting, I'm just trying to be clear is all.
NQG, have you tried sunglasses and sunscreen for when you have to be out in daylight? I don't like it either, but I deal with it.
I have a pair of (very expensive) sunglasses that I've had for five years now, that I had get a note to wear to school ever day for my junior and senior years, and am still basically chained to them if I want to leave the house during the day.
As for sunscreen, I've never had a problem with skinburns. Usually I've gotten pseudo-feverish(all the physical signs of a fever, except the actual raised temperature) and started losing motor control long before I would have to start worrying about skin burns. (but I don't want to get into that, and you don't need to know any more than that, about that. Move on.)
Other than that, moving away somewhere to your north when you can would be the only way I can think of to minimize the need to be out in the sun.
Already in the works, but another several years away at least.
Also take Violentdove's advice on finding out what you're allergic to. You can probably take care of it pretty easily by keeping an eye on what you put in your mouth. Seriously, it's not even a thing.
I'm not allergic to anything in the realm of food. I never said anything about any allergies. I have no idea how people are getting that from my mention of the normal over-hydration and increased blood flow in the soft tissues after food ingestion.
If you don't drink just say so. If someone will only hang out with you if you're going to get drunk with them then they are probably not that fun to be around anyway.
Thank you. That's what I've been saying.
Second question:
You're probably a nice person and if you're anything like me (which I kind of feel like you are) you are probably reasonably charming/witty/interesting via a text based medium as you can monitor your responses and you have time to order your thoughts. You don't have to worry about embarrassing yourself because, hey, you can always stop talking to the person. In meatlife you're probably more shy, more reserved, maybe even a little aloof and people will probably read that as standoffish and it turns out girls don't like guys who are standoffish and boring to talk to.
Okay, you're probably pretty right about most of that. But I have been getting better in that area. I'm really haven't been "standoffish" since high school. It's still beyond me to start a conversation in most circumstances, but engaging in one not so much anymore. So I think you're half-right. Three years ago you would have been 100% right, though.
Last question:
See the response above? A girl who is into a guy who is standoffish and appears to be unfriendly probably has hell of issues. You may or may not be able to tell what those issues are but either way you are probably aware that this is not really the kind of girl you want to be with. Along with your aloofness is a slight arrogance that turns a general dislike into actual contempt, as you put it. I know, I do the same thing.
Now, tell me how right I was.
Yes and no.
Yes, I may simply not be initially attractive to the right kind of girls. I went out with one girl who was a Twilight freak and who thought I was Edward-esqe (*retch*), who I dumped after five dates, even though she was basically ready to jump my bones.
No, that wouldn't be the whole problem, because that shyness->standoffishness evaporates quite quickly once I know the girl is genuinely interested in me, and my true personality does surface.
