I was super sick from hyperemesis, and combine that with the first trimester sleepies I probably did look like death. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ever-tell-you-that-you-look-awful#post-113886 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 14:00:32 +0000 sulli301 113886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never had "you look awful" but you look "tired" yes! Doesn't that just make you feel great?! I suppose they don't mean it to be mean but it kinda is to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ever-tell-you-that-you-look-awful#post-113826 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 12:45:07 +0000 littlebug 113826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. I get told I look "exhausted." Sometimes, if I'm feeling really ornery, I'll say, "So I look like crap. Thanks!" Most of the time I let it go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ever-tell-you-that-you-look-awful#post-113812 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 12:24:44 +0000 banana 113812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only my closest friends. During my 1st trimester when my nausea was in full force, they all said I looked like "crap". lol. TOTALLY doesn't bother me if it comes from my close girlfriends cause I would say the same to them. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ever-tell-you-that-you-look-awful#post-113782 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 11:26:40 +0000 enjollah 113782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate when people tell you this! The only one that has told me more recently is my MIL.... Seriously?!? I just had a baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ever-tell-you-that-you-look-awful#post-113763 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 11:01:42 +0000 Mrsbells 113763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People have told me I look tired before, but its usually when I am really tired so I just say nod and agree with them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ever-tell-you-that-you-look-awful#post-113735 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 10:14:56 +0000 mrs. wagon 113735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes... and I'm like... screw you!!!</p> <p>Haha just kidding. Usually if I hear something like "you look tired" it's because I'm feeling/looking REALLY crappy and I've mentioned it first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ever-tell-you-that-you-look-awful#post-113720 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 10:01:08 +0000 dnmommy 113720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have a coworker that will tell me "you look tired" everyday and i'm definitely not happy hearing it every single day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ever-tell-you-that-you-look-awful#post-113378 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 22:26:20 +0000 mynoahbear 113378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom tells me I look really tired and should go take a nap but she never says I look awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ever-tell-you-that-you-look-awful#post-113307 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 21:21:31 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 113307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gotten the "tired" crap before. Which is just code for "awful." I would be more offended, but usually I know that person is probably right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ever-tell-you-that-you-look-awful#post-113272 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 21:04:41 +0000 mrsjyw 113272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've def heard the "you look tired" but have yet to encounter someone who's that brutally honest (or not nice) to say I look awful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ever-tell-you-that-you-look-awful#post-113269 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 21:03:04 +0000 MamaMoose 113269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one has ever said I look awful but I've been told I look tired in a way that makes it clear I look like shit. That pisses me off. Just say what you really mean or shut up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ever-tell-you-that-you-look-awful#post-113256 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 20:56:30 +0000 Rubies 113256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get the sympathetic, "You look tired..." all the time. When LO was 3 months old, we did a family photo session and the package came with a free make-up session for me and the lady spent 20 minutes trying to cover up my dark circles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ever-tell-you-that-you-look-awful#post-113184 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 20:24:52 +0000 heffalump 113184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. But people tell me I look good and I know they're lying. Its awkward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ever-tell-you-that-you-look-awful#post-113180 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 20:23:40 +0000 chopsuey 113180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not to my face! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ever-tell-you-that-you-look-awful#post-113176 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 20:23:13 +0000 Andrea 113176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, you cannot say that to a woman! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ever-tell-you-that-you-look-awful#post-113173 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 20:22:35 +0000 mrbee 113173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes when I'm really tired, people tell me that I look really exhausted or run down or even "awful." Luckily relatively little of my self esteem is based on my rugged good looks... </p> <p>Seriously though, it's usually too much honesty for me. I don't mind if someone says I look tired... but if they say I look awful, then that makes Daddy feel hurt haha.</p> <p>Do people ever tell you that you look awful? </p>
