Just recently people keep asking me if i feel ok and when i ask why they say i look a bit pale. I mean i'm not exactly tanned or anything but does looking a bit pale mean you are ill?

it doesn't really mean your ill
perhaps get out a bit more if you tend to stay in the house?

I don't tan very well, due to a lack of iron or something. Maybe you should get some vitamin/iron tablets or hit the sunbeds ;)

Thank god I'm not alone, lol. I always get asked the same question too, so you're not alone. I don't think it necessarily means there's something wrong, just the natural colour of your skin. My whole family has pretty pale skin so it's just something that runs through my family.

Pale skin just runs through my family, lol. I'd rather look slightly pale than overdo it by trying to tan myself and perhaps turning orange. o_o :O :P

There's a difference between being pale as in not having dark skin and being pale as in looking drained. If you're the latter it's generally caused by lack of iron (anaemia) or bad blood circulation.
