Idk if it’s just me but whenever I talk to someone and like ask them how I look they always say I look normal . average.plain. Not chopped but also not attractive. Idk why but I’ve always felt insulted by those comments and like feel the need to try and make my self look more attractive through makeup or skincare. Idk if it’s just a me thing but I just honestly need to rant about this because I always feel like really bad whenever I feel mad at that person making the comment.
Dear @Golden_syrup88
Thank you for reaching out. I think it’s understandable to feel upset when others tell us that we are average looking. Such comments can be interpreted in many ways. For example, some of us may wonder if the person giving us the feedback is just trying to appear neutral and is not fully honest in expressing their true opinion. Others may interpret this comment negatively. We are only human if we react, so you are not alone.
Unfortunately such self questioning can be draining, hurting and chip away at our confidence especially when we take effort to look presentable.
I recommend speaking to a counsellor to unpack how you currently view yourself, what drives your beliefs and to slowly take steps re build your self confidence. You deserve to feel confident without seeking external validation.
