"I like that hair cut"

So I know a lot of you get the cancer question a lot, but I keep getting the "I love your hair cut" and "wow, I would NEVER be that bold to cut off all my hair!" Well my hair was down to the middle of my back not too long ago, and if it was up to me, I wouldnt have this hair cut! A delivery driver just came to my work, NEVER seen him in my life, and the first thing he says is, "Hey...I like the hair cut". I guess I should feel good that people actually like me looking like Sinead O'Conner with bald spots, but I just don't really find it to be a compliment. Anyone else feel this way?

Oh, I miss my long hair...and it doesn't matter who tells me they think I look better with it short. I can totally understand how you feel. I cut 13" off after I found my first bald spots, and so many ppl tell me they like it short...I feel like telling them, "Well, you like it NOW..just wait then, you should LOVE it later!" The first time someone told me they liked my hair better LONG..I cried! It was right after I had first been diagnosed. I gues, no matter if they like it, or dont, it IS what it IS...and I am the one that has to come to terms with it. It's that roller coaster we always talk about. Hugs!!!

I think thats what it is. When they say it, it doesn't sound like that actually mean it. i've also been asked on more than 1 occation if Im lesbian. Which I have nothing against, but I'm not. I guess its really just tone in which people say it.

Hmmm, I can honestly say I don't understand this feeling. I suppose if the people making the compliments were being obviously snarky, I may be irritated for a split second, but hopefully I would just move on. (Perhaps after winging the closest blunt object at them. **grin**)
