It's interesting how perceptions can be misleading. It's not pride; I sometimes find it challenging to associate. I appreciate your understanding and would love the chance to connect in a way that feels comfortable.

Another way people judge and it annoys me is by my lips, I have very dark lips and they just conclude I got it by smoking.

Haha, it's funny how people assume! I've always had dark lips, nothing to do with smoking. Genetics, you know?
