I don't hate red per se. I can enjoy looking at the colour because red is certainly a beautiful colour. It's cheerful, energetic, gives you a ready-to-go vibe, and so on. For some unknown reasons, however, I can never bring myself to wear red. For the longest time, I've been stumped for the reason. Like, it doesn't make sense!
I bought or took red-coloured clothes a couple of times and almost every single time, I'd touched it and put it back. Almost. Every. Single. Time! Like, if there are 100 attempts, only 1 or 2 get through. That's how rare it is.
The very few times I managed to put it on, I would either take it off after a few minutes OR I would feel uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable the whole time I'm wearing it.
I tried to google it but I found none that provides a satisfactory answer. I also tried ChatGPT but again, the same disappointing result.
They did provide me with one clue though.
The colour I am uncomfortable with may represent something that I am uncomfortable with. And... that's it. I was stuck here for so many years with only that one clue.
It wasn't until a few minutes ago, when I was trying to declutter my closet and underwent the same problem with a red cloth again that I finally understand the reason.
I just hate to stand out. Red-coloured clothes stand out so much, they make me feel like a sore thumb. Nope. Just nope.
I don't know why it took me years to realize this. Seriously. It's kinda stupid. Or rather, I'm the one who is stupid ಠ◡ಠ
