Prying fattie only makes things worse About a week ago I decided to get my first tattoo, and I asked my best friend (let's call him nick, he's important in this story) for the number of his artist because I like the style. Anyways, I meet the girl doing my tattoo and she's a total blonde hottie, and incredibly nice. Time for background: I have struggled with depressions since I was thirteen, and I attempted suicide when I was sixteen and ended up in a mental hospital, which is where I met Nick. Nick is transgender, and when we met he was a girl and was suffering from body dystrophic disorder, he had cuts all the way up his arms and legs.  Anyways, I go to the parlor to get my tattoo, and a small fat tattoo artist was in the stall right next to mine. The artists we casually chatting, and then the question came, how do I know Nick. I told them the truth, that we met at the hospital.  This is where, to me at least, it just gets so frustrating. He begins asking me why I was there and out of politeness I just said depression, and just went back and focused on the needles being stabbed in my forearm. Then he asks me "why are you depressed when you are so pretty", this just took the fucking cake. For the longest time I though that being pretty is where I ended, and that I was nothing more. I though that my only hope of a succes in life is being a trophy wife, but that I still had a shitty personality so no one would even love me enough to marry me. I don't want to say that to him, because it honestly sounds so conceited, so I just ignored him, but he kept asking questions and being intrusive about my mental health without seeing what visual discomfort he was making me have. Luckily the tattoo was small so it was over pretty quickly, I paid my girl and just left.  What makes me more mad about what he said though, is not the personal response I have to the question, is the assumption that pretty people can't  have any other feeing than joy. And why would he think it's okay to ask those questions to a stranger!  Not to mention that he met Nick, when he was still female and kept using the wrong name and pronouns to refer to him, even though I kept correcting him. I'm sorry for the shitty quality, I'm on mobile and it's also really late, I just couldn't sleep before getting this off my chest. Thank you for listening
