Thank you, now I know that I'm unattractive. Always knew, but now it's backed up by science!!!

One of my favorite memories was playing with my 3 year old nephew. The sillier I acted, the harder he laughed. We were both laughing really hard when he exclaimed, "Uncle Tim, you're so...BEAUTIFUL!!!"

It was an unusual choice of words, but I think that in that moment of carefree happiness, that's how he saw me. Beautiful. I'm not ugly, but I've never been called that before.

It's a memory I will carry for the rest of my life. Man I love that kid.

Now that I know I’m extremely unattractive, the video really opened my eyes.

Holy crap I’m in the complete negative of all of these. I push people away, let people walk all over me, and never share my passions. I actually do a lot to take care of my body, but I have a chronic illness working against me so I always look unfit and unhealthy. At least with the first three I have something I can work on, so it’s good to know! Going to keep working on myself until I get there!

This is a cool perspective. People often see the word "attractive" and assume it's only/mainly about how hot/pretty/handsome/sexy others are to you or you are to others. To attract is to draw something or someone in. Being attractive is a whole range of things that, when combined, can describe what draws people to you. Often we can focus so much on whether we meet the beauty standards to be attractive that we forget the other aspects. All are important and feed into the overall impact. It's cool seeing this take on it. It's why you can find someone conventionally attractive (physically) but not feel attracted to them because of other reasons.

Remember guys: there's a lot more to being attractive than having certain physical features. Being healthy, being nice, being hygienic and dressing well
Edit: apparently my statement was too complicated for SOME people to understand 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️

[belle-mariephan]

While I always hope that I am physically attractive, I think it’s the sweetest thing whenever someone says that I’m really easy to talk to/they feel like I really get them. It’s nice to know this is a good thing and not I exude “therapist” vibes 💀

When Psych2Go puts non-physical traits to make you feel better about yourself, but you don’t have those either

[radouanemegherbi]

Trait 1 = Failed.
Trait 2= I do exercise but 😢
Trait 3= Not really (sad).
Trait 4= I barely have any hobbies but when I do express I feel like I'm bragging.
Trait 5= Well people ignore me even when I'm talking to them.

Can my self esteem be any lower 💀

Exercising and working out helped me feel more confident. I finally feel like I've achieved my trifecta of mental, physical, and spiritual fitness.

Something I very much appreciate about this channel is that it always seems like whenever I'm experiencing an issue in my life, I look at this channel and see a video about the same stuffm this has helped me quite a lot in my life over the last year

Thank you for adding the subtitles. ❤❤

This video has explained to me why I feel invisible out in public, thanks!

[douglasmijangos]

I think the thing that makes me attractive is that I don’t put labels on people .. if I see someone new at work/school I will approach them and talk to them about anything.. ask if it’s their first day and go from their .. regardless of who you are I will give you a chance and try to get to know you as a person …

I always kind of figured I was emotionally attractive because I always became the center and glue of the friend circles and would also usually be called the father of the group because everyone always felt safe and comfortable around me. That also meant people opened up to me more and would always ask me for my opinion and advice. I also just have a natural "huggable" aura according to a lot of friends who would open up when we would have deep talks and that always made me feel happy. I also have been getting a lot more compliments lately not just because I started going to the gym but because im a lot more confident and have started to also clean myself up with how I dress and present myself. I also post regularly when im at the gym and apparently that has motivated a handful of my friends to start as well and they love to tell me that they thank me for posting pretty much daily because its their motivation to get fit and be healthy. Lastly I would like to say thank you for the video, it really did help me understand a lot of things, its going to strive me to continue to do the things im doing and to keep pushing to be a better person so that those around me can also slowly begin to feel more confident about themselves because its always better when you pick each other up. <3

Great confirmation that I am unattractive. Some of the things that are described here as being attractive qualities have only ever really made me feel ostracized by others. 1 - I try to connect to people on a genuine level, but most only want superficial and shallow interactions. So I tend to be ostracized by that. 2 - I have always been some level of fit, has never made any difference that I can see. 3 - People don't want to interact with me, probably because I am neurodivergent and it makes them uncomfortable, so I doubt I influence anyone. 4 - My passions are generally considered odd and weird, so I generally get more ostracization by sharing them. 5 - IF, someone does decide to come talk to me, it is generally short-lived. I don't seem to fit social norms, and I gave up trying to twist myself to fit those norms just have no real change in outcome.

i love the oshi no ko references, especially since that's how the "main" character worked but she lied to everyone and herself so she started to believe it but people found attraction in that
