Going Incognito : Can You Change Your Look?

[lucy92]

A few times i've found myself annoyed when people i havent seen in years/a decade recognize me on the street.

it may be due to the fact that i've aged less than most people - but it also gives me pause - does this mean that my look/style hasnt evolved?

I am in the process of having some hyper pigmentation removed by my dermatologist - but it's a long process. i'm hoping that will help make me less "recognizable".

anyone else have this issue?

People recognizing you could be a good thing. Means you made an impression on them Also, they met you on the street, they did not see you from across the street and run away! Suggests you made a positive impression

If somebody recognized me on the street largely based on how I dress I guess I would take it as a compliment. Means your style is focused enough to be recognizable. I believe I personally would like being recognized based on my style, but I quite like it when people find a style that works for them and sticks to it -you might not. Perhaps you value change more than I do

When I meet old Schoolmates/acquaintances we tend to just ignore each other There is a reason I don't keep in touch with a lot of them so I don't mind

I think I am mainly recognized because of my red hair, not my style:/
