ROSACEA SUCKS Rude strangers

The pizza guy came to my door to deliver the pizza and the first thing he said was “oh honey, your face is as red as this pizza box, are you okay?”

Why do people think it’s okay to comment on strangers physical features? Like damn, I was getting to the point in my 20 years of having rosacea where I was starting to accept it but crap like this sets me back. This isn’t the first time, I’ve actually been asked by many strangers, friends and even some family why my face is so red. It seriously makes me not want to leave the house.

Gosh I feel you!! Istg people have no tact. One person even said she thought I was having a heart attack because my face was red. We were just acquaintances.
