Is it normal i have always hated face paint

Ever since I was cognizant of being, I've fucking hated face paint. I think it's the dumbest shit in the world, and always makes me cringe.

I wasn't a miserable child, but not sure how I managed when EVERY EVENT INCLUDED THIS CRAP. Every; birthday party, funday, track day, milkshake day, jogging day, you name it! some creepy twit with a brush is in there defacing kids.

I felt alienated as all my friends would go up, and I'd have to watch them all be transformed into grotesque mutations forever ruining my image of them. I'd abstain as best I could, even though no one around seemed to understand why.

I've never had my face painted, I never want my face painted and I never want to look at someone with their face painted. It just creeps me out, and I feel like this is not a shared sentiment. Am I crazy?

    I don't think you're crazy. It just sounds like you sincerely hate face paint and find it unsettling. Parts of our brain are wired to identify things that look like faces, so something that deforms or masks those faces is inherently deceptive on a level that is potentially threatening for survival. Stuff that looks like other stuff in nature but isn't is how you get eaten.

    I don't much care for face paint myself, and I have never had it done. I just feel that it looks tacky, and messes up the face. I've loved cosmetics since I was like eleven so I wouldn't ever want some idiot painting on my face, and messing it up just because someone carnival is going on there. Also I figure it would clog my pores too. It kinda reminds me of when I was young and other girls would want to play with my hair that my mother had done for me. I alway's told them no, because I didn't want my hair to look like crap. Why would I want to mess up how my mom styled my hair so some bitch can have fun playing? Fuck that shit!

    Somewhere in the back of my head I hear my mom's voice with her Colombian accent saying that people are jealous and want to spoil your beauty.
