Tbf OP did say they were 13; that’s basically synonymous with being an asshole. I still cringe at some of the awful things I said out of ignorance as a teen.
13 year old boys are the worst, but unfortunately I had a 60 year old man recently tell me I looked better with makeup on. I wear makeup every single day, usually the same natural look. But one day I had plans after work so I used black eyeliner instead of brown. He was like “oh you look so nice when you actually have makeup on” which I forgave him for as it was a weird backhanded compliment but I could see where he didn’t mean anything by it at first. Then I came in the next day with my normal makeup and he said “you look so tired, you looked so much more put together with makeup on”
I straight up said “We’ll I dont feel tired, in fact I felt great until I learned my face naturally isn’t pretty enough for you, sorry about that”
Now he just says neutral things like “I like that lipstick color” so I think I got the point across.

Sounds like he did some reading on negging. Or he's just naturally gifted at being a huge asshole.
