I’m Japanese. All three of these pictures are my eyes, in the first one, my eyes are just uneven, because one eye has sometimes even 5 folds in it and my other one looks okay. My eyes are noottt supposed to have a million folds, when I was younger, (I can show pictures of my eyes when I was littler) my eyes were straight up monolids, then only had one fold, my eyes were both even. Then as I grew, my eyes got more folds, and it didn’t bother me until people pointed out my eyes looked weird. And I realised I looked straight up ugly because of them when they used to be my prettiest feature on my face! Sometimes after a few blinks, the folds move or change shape it’s just so weird and I find it ugly on me. I would cover half my face and see myself looking like more youthful then the other half would look weird, tired and twice my age. So out of desperation I use an eye talk, and different double eyelid glues, or glue/cream for eyelid shaping to even my eyes and make it look like I have less folds on my eyes. Which is what I did in the second photo. Im a teen now, my eyes started getting tons of folds when I was like 8 or 9, and at the moment it’s worse. And im so sick of having to use a glue to feel better about my face every single day, Ive been using eyelid glues on my eyes for maybe a year now. And im sometimes scared people will notice the glue on my eyes and say Im trying to look more Asian. I live in a town that has about 30 east or southeast Asians in it. Now the 3rd photo, usually my eyes look like this when I wake up, and without eye shaping cream or glue, they look like that after a few blinks! And then I need to pull at them or try fix them a few times and they just look like the first photo again. Im so sick of my eyes. And im not an adult yet, I can’t get a surgery till I am 18 or older and I’d need a lot of money just to feel better about myself without a glue or tape. I want to wake up one day, get ready without needing to put a shaping glue or cream on my eyelids to look pretty. I don’t want to look tired and weird without glues. Help, please.
Also In the 3rd photo I am slightly closing my eyes and angling my phone down a tiny bit so the folds are more visible.
(Btw the scribbles are just a red scratch on my face)
