Just go to an asian aunty for brutally honest opinions on how to improve yourself

[VestigeFinder]

the only thing more brutal than being ugly and being treated poorly because of it, is having people claim that “you just need to work on your personality” or “beauty is subjective!”

[TA]

i wish people were more honest. not everyone is “beautiful” and that is okay…

In the opposite way I have also realize that some people tend to call really attractive people “ugly” or say comments like “I don’t understand why everyone likes them” or “I have never found them attractive”. Is like they feel proud of it.
Edit: Just to make it more clear, I’m aware that is completely normal to not feel attracted to someone that is considered attractive by “the majority”.
The kind of people I’m referring to is the ones that tend to put so much effort in putting dow someone that is considered attractive just for the sake of making them feel unattractive and that they don’t deserve the attention they get. Same way there’s people that just dismiss someone’s attractiveness to feel superior for not following what the majority says.
Also just because you don’t feel attracted to someone it doesn’t mean the person is not attractive.

A crazy thing that happened to me is that some people used to treat me better when I was ugly. When I started working out, treating my pimples, changed my hair, got the braces and glasses off and became pretty (at least in general) — some friends I considered close stopped complimenting me and commenting / liking my posts and pictures on social media. They also seem a lot more sensitive about things I say, I can’t really say nice things about myself or make some jokes because I seem arrogant or futile.

I think most of us who aren't conventionally attractive know we aren't because of how invisible we've felt for most of our lives, especially when being around people who ARE conventionally attractive and seeing how they get treated. I've felt that way for the longest time and have struggled with ways to improve my appearance, only to be told by friends and family they think I'm beautiful and I'm being silly and shouldn't focus on appearance so much. It feels frustrating and dismissive. On the other hand, almost every time I interact with people I get a question or comment about my appearance. "Have you lost weight?", "have you gained weight?", "your hair's going gray", "your cheeks look sunken in". You're not supposed to focus on looks because that's superficial, yet they constantly remind you how much attention they pay to your looks. I'd rather people just stay quiet altogether and I'll get my advice from the professionals. I also think the people on Reddit would be a lot more honest if the question were posed to them through an anonymous poll, so it wouldn't be part of their charity work for the day and they'd feel safer being honest.

I am in some beauty/makeup groups and I noticed that the girls that are kinda just objectively plain or unattractive get a ton of comments like “omg girl you’re so gorgeous” and then the actual beautiful women get little to no comments or praise, often times a lot of criticism or lowkey jabs. Women love to gas up other women, so long as they aren’t better looking .

Ugly wouldn’t be such a powerful word if we didn’t lie to everyone who is ugly by telling them they’re beautiful. “Ugly” could be “average”, and that’s not a bad thing. If most people are ugly and are told they are, being told you’re ugly too wont sting so bad because you’re not the only one.

[SquarePenix.]

The worst part about this is that none of these people would date the very people they are calling beautiful. They’d say “they aren’t my type” and date someone much more physically attractive lol.

[mayacokie]

I strongly believe that we should start saying "it's ok to be ugly" instead of saying "everyone is beautiful" cuz everyone isn't physically beautiful but u shouldn't have to be treated horribly just cuz ur ugly. Being ugly and having flaws are totally ok. Flaws aren't beautiful they just imperfections and again that's ok😌

[jackcranmer]

Toxic positivity really sucks because in the end it’s doing way more damage to those who have the drive to be better. This is in any field be it beauty, art, work and so on. Like most of the people who ask for advice on self improvement can recognise they desire better and just need help understanding where to go and how to get there not nice little words to mask something.

[neboyshanicolich]

When someone is beautiful they rarely recive compliments, they get treated with preference and admiration, or jealous people envy them.Being aesthetically pleasing is the ultimate dream for everyone, because how the world treats beautiful people.

[Hiddenplace]

I feel like when someone is obviously attractive people compliment them less and if you're an insecure attractive person you grow up thinking you're weird looking or there's something wrong with you. Just my own experience. I can see why this makes sense cause I've seen very average looking people being told how good looking they are and I'm confused sometimes lol

(Sorry for my English)
Hey, I want to share my experience with a "glow up".
I'm a medical student and I always tried hard to get good grades. The thing is when I was fat and didn't care much for my appearance, everyone thought that I was so intelligent and hard working, etc.

But after vacation, I returned with -10 kg, I dyed my hair blonde, changed my glasses and practiced how to put on makeup.
Everyone treated me differently and I became more popular.
The thing is that I kept having good grades BUT now there are rumours that say that I have romances with professors or that I f*cked them to have good grades. Also there are people who think that I came to med school just to get a husband ¿?

[LorryHill]

Thanks for the shoutout!! We need to do another collab my friend ! Also GREAT, HONEST and HELPFUL video.

[daze.d]

Someone called me ugly. It was a kid. I needed that to finally realize I needed a glow up.
I love brutally honest comments because I want to grow.

I recently see this on Twitter that in between an argument on a completely unrelated argument people would bring up the person's look to shame him or her and get some likes. I find this very disturbing how our self worth is tied up to how attractive we are so much so that even having a valid opinion will only be taken seriously on the internet if you have a good profile pic . It's ridiculous and I think that's why some people on the internet try to overcompensate to counter the negativity by leaving such comments.
Ps I also noticed the victim of such shaming recently are mostly men it seems like being mean to men and shaming their looks have become a trendy for some reason

[mario]

Man, the Internet has changed. Imagine asking if you're ugly on an anonymous online forum 10-15 years ago. It would've been rough even for someone who's average

[mei]

This is so true though. I notice that when a girl whose body is average/curvy/chubby/fat and has an average looking face posts something on TikTok, everyone in the comments is full of praise saying things like "omg slay, " "ate and left no crumbs, " "so stunning, " "wow i'm in love."

Meanwhile, when a skinny girl with a pretty face posts, the comments are so mean: "you know what you're doing, " "i'm never eating again, " "when is it my turn to be happy." And so many of them are so full of jealousy, blatantly projecting their insecurities onto the girl when she just wanted to post a video of herself like everyone else does with no intentions of showing off or making anyone jealous.

I think this happens because people don't feel threatened by the former but they DO feel threatened by the latter, so they start getting defensive and try to put her down. People feel better about themselves when they compliment someone they deem to be inferior to them while putting down and insulting someone they feel is more attractive than they are.

I found out I was ugly when I posted on reddit and people told me I was attractive after browsing more, I realized everyone told the ugly people they're attractive, and told the attractive people they're average. Or they were over the top with their comments.
