Do people constantly talk about the way you look?

Does this bother you?

No. Nobody talks . No reason.

Why did you ask?

Relatives do yes. Everyone else is either polite or normal, and doesn't seem to make unsolicited comments on others' looks.
But relatives always do this, constantly making points about weight (observations on how much I've gained or lost, what size I should be, their opinions & judgements) my hair, my skin, my clothes, etc.
Yes it bothers me. It makes me self conscious and hypervigilant.

People did alot when I was a kid because I had BAD skin eczema & had lots of sores on my arms & legs from scratching. I was teased alot about it & stress from that & other problems related to school made me scratch more. I kind of outgrew it some in my teens but it can still flare up sometimes. People haven't really commented on my looks much in a long time but that's because I don't really interact with people much unless I have to when I'm out like going shopping or walking.

Yes, they do. But it doesn't bother me much, since the comments I get are about things I can control. That is, hair and clothing.
I dress as comfortably as possible, and I don't spend money on clothes. My whole wardrobe consists of things that are given to me and things that I've found. And I don't spend any time on making my hair look nice. This leads me to look like a hobo, or a troll. Both are nicknames of mine.

Comments that can be a little bothering involves people having an opinion of how I should look. Like:
"Don't you want to look normal?"
"You'd be so pretty if you only wore makeup"
"You should show off that body while it's still young"
"You know your man will start looking for other girls if you won't dress nicely for him?"
"You would be much happier if you started acting like a lady"

And the dumbest one:
"You have got to be a lesbian, right??"

People just have so many unnecessary opinions.
