I've into the goth scene for about two thirds of my life now, and I can't tell you how many times I've been asked if I'm sad or depressed. Back in college I showed up to class with some elbow length fingerless gloves, and the dude I usually sat next to practically tore them off because he thought I was covering up cutting myself. His defense was "I have a friend who dresses kind of like you, and they were those gloves to cover up scars." Well, my dude, I am not your friend and you now no longer have a study partner. I sat elsewhere the rest of the semester.
