How to Look Beautiful

How beautiful one feels has nothing to do with how one looks on the outside - and everything to do with one’s inner sense of worth.

“When we are very concerned about certain of our physical features - a nose that is stubbornly a bit too large, eyes that are slightly too far apart, hair that is not as lustrous as it should be - we miss an overall point about our relationship to our appearance: how beautiful we feel has nothing to do with the objective structure of our face or body; it isn’t what we look like that counts. It’s how we feel inside. Our self-assessments are in the end solely based on our relative degrees of self-love and self-contempt…”

    I agree with this completely. Most of the time people are trying to be what they are not. The shy girl trying to be a socialite, the fat funny guy trying to be a jock, the awkward man trying to be suave. However when you do that you just end up reverting to how you were before.

    It's funny how the things that bother us the most about our appearance are in many cases not even noticed by others, and if they are noticed, the other person seldom if ever cares about it as much as we do. Realizing that you are not the center of other people's lives can be simultaneously frustrating and yet immensely liberating.

    When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

    For anybody feeling down about your looks, I just want to say a couple of things from a fellow "ugly" person: 1. Beauty is a young person's game. Once you hit 40+, it won't matter as much because everyone is middle aged, mellowed out, hopefully, more mature. Just be patient. In the mean time, work on things that get better with age: Good Relationships, Intelligence, Skill. 2. You get used to somebody's face. There are SO many instances in my life where I watch a youtuber and think "They're so weird looking" but watching all their content gets me used to their face and suddenly they start getting more attractive. This happens to co-workers, classmates, etc. people you see daily. This can work in your favor as well. 3. If you're not attractive, focus on hygiene and health. If you are always well kept, smell good and look clean/smart/put together, you up your attractiveness points. Imagine a really hot person walking up to you, and then they open their mouth and let out the stinkiest breath you've ever smelled. Are you still attracted? lol 4. Unless you want to pursue a career in media, you don't have to be SUPER attractive. No need to bend over backwards to aim for celebrity looks. Just aim to be pleasant and healthy (see number 3). Chances are, you're already fine. 5. Recognize that "feeling ugly" equates to "feeling unworthy or unwanted". Like the video said, ugliness stems from feeling "unworthy" when you were younger. The line "people were not happy when you arrived", struck me so much. I'm always in the constant battle of feeling unloved or unwanted. This requires some self-searching and meditation to fully understand what it means to you. I can't tell you what works for you, but for me, I found joy in pursuing a career I can excel at, and that helped with feelings of worthlessness. Bonus: Statistically, you're probably average, and not as ugly as you think you are. I say this because when everyone tells me "it's the inside that counts" it just sounds so hokey and sentimental. I found that using logic and science works for me. Maybe it will work for you too.

I guess the point is these things happened when we were very very young and the things we experienced weren't necessarily that bad and certainly not intended to be hurtful but its just the way our developing minds interpreted the experiences based on multiple factors including genetics.

    There is no way to have a childhood without 'trauma'. Most of us did have a wonderful childhood.... but one that also included trauma that still plays out today in our mental challenges and habits. It is in the process of finding these origins and observing, truly accepting (and then finally becoming grateful) for them that many people have been able to move past their mental health issues. Side note - it is less common it seems (but still relevant) that our mental challenges are routed in trauma of later years.

    My mum is and always was a loving, understanding and encouraging mum. Her mum, on the other hand, was a mum that was very critic, judgmental, she never gave her daughter the ensurance to be good enough. What happened, was that my mum ALWAYS tried to make me feel good about my self. She complimented me on my appearance, told me how beautiful and smart I was. I can tell you, even if she did it with the best intentions, today I am obsessed with looking good, being smart, and I feel like everyone can immediately see my flaws if I am not trying to hide them under a loud and extrovert self and nice clothes. Ones relationship with appearances is always complicated and telling people they‘re beautiful does sometimes even make it worse.

    It sounds like: is because she did it without dealing with her own need to feel validated--what you truly heard was not genuine and free, but sub-consciously neediness from your mother. A child cannot fill a providers needs however hard they try, and is not supposed to be their job. Your fulfilling her lack of praise as a mirror does is not your job.

    It can certainly go both ways... especially when it comes to the patterns you develop with your parents. The developing brain engrains those early experiences deep into your personality, and so you absorb the same worldviews as your parents. It's clear that your mom's intent was to ensure that you don't develop the same insecurities as her, she inadvertently passed on the inter-generational pattern by "teaching your subconscious mind" to prioritize looks (and being flawless in other ways too) like she did, and so did her mom. That's not to say that you can't change these neural pathways in your brain. You will just have to work a bit harder on them at this age, but you got this. Start by accepting your "flaws" to yourself... the moment you stop running away from them, you will stop being "embarrassed" about them. If you are not embarrassed about them, then you will feel less of an urge to hide them from others.

    People usually don’t consciously notice our appearance. However, subconsciously, we’re constantly noting things about others. We will talk to good looking people with a little more attention to what we say. We will feel a slight sense of superiority talking to someone shorter than us. Its just part of our flawed human nature. But these subconscious judgments are only surface level placeholders for our actual personalities. And most people are willing to change those placeholders easier than we think. So we’re better off just not giving a fck what people think of us.

    I turned to sweets when my alcoholic mother would neglect me when I was a child. Because of this I was a big kid. I got teased & shamed by my peers, daily. By high-school I was excessively exercising and starving myself. It became an obsession to stay in shape. By college, that was all I ever thought about. I would wake up at 4am to get a workout in before my first class, & be exhausted through classes all day. To this day, at age 46, I exercise daily, watch my calories and pay more attention to my appearance than needed. I feel if I am able to look a certain way I won't attract the negative attention from hecklers and naysayers. It's a defensive mechanism.

    You’re too hard on yourself. There are SO MANY positives in your life that comes from your daily exercise. There are probably a lot of people in these comments who just can’t figure out the daily self-care routine that you have been doing your entire adult life. To them, exercising once is a big deal, let alone daily. Be proud! You’re being so good to your body and your brain. When I am not exercising 4-5 times a week, I slowly begin to lose my mind. I can’t even describe or understand what it does for my confidence. I stand taller. I sit up straight. I look people in the eye. I’m more assertive. Its never a bad thing to be able to fill out a t-shirt nicely either. It takes a while, but if I stop (illness, work problems, etc)......slowly my stinking thinking creeps back in, telling me that I’m a shit person, that nobody likes me......it happens EVERY TIME.

    Feeling ugly stems from the deficit of love, never of beauty... This describes my own source of depression. Opposite sex often remarked that I always put myself down, acted weird when complimented, and withdrawn when showered with affection. It's not false modesty, when I say I'm not that beautiful. Literally, I mean to say I'm ugly. It's truly how I feel about myself, no matter how my bf tells me I am beautiful. I can't believe it. I realized I can't take compliment or believe that I am beautiful becuz I always believed to be the ugliest in the family when I was a little girl. Being compared to other cousins, makes me feel unwanted. I could have outgrown it if only my own mother have told me that I am worthy of love and I am beautiful in my own way. But the biggest scar was inflicted by her, my own mother. She told me that I am not beautiful and she made me think that she's disappointed in me that I am not as girl as she idealized me to be. I am now 35 and have shunned all potential long-term relationships becuz I can't believe I deserve to be married cuz I won't look beautiful on wedding dresses bcuz wedding dresses are for beautiful girls only, and not for ugly girl like me. I am frozen not bcuz I am ugly, but bcuz I am made feel ugly and inadequate.

And it always crushes my self esteem. Cz for others I'm useless, good for nothing. I lost all my charm and enthusiasm. I'm depressed. My mom feels really bad when she sees me in this state.

    I was dumped by someone I've dated online for 5 years and was engaged to because she said I wasn't attractive. We exchanged pictures and video chatted many times without her ever mentioning this and she accepted my proposal. I try to keep my thoughts positive, but it's really hard to do when you have the thought that, "I'm so ugly that even someone who loves me can't stand to be with me."

    "Feeling ugly stems from a deficit of love, never of beauty." These two things are not necessarily mutually exclusive, and the concepts are vague. Depending on the kind of "love" one is referring to, a lack of love can absolutely stem from a deficit of beauty. It has been scientifically demonstrated that people are attracted to certain traits more than others. When someone has a deficit in beauty, in this way, they will be much more likely to experience fewer romantic engagements and opportunities. They will get less attention as compared with their peers. These things are very important to humans, and permeate social activities. The likelihood of love or attention someone gets is demonstrably contingent upon their beauty. It is important to see value in people beyond that, but this is a descriptive point about human nature. How we feel about ourselves has so much to do with our experience of acceptance within our communities, as social beings.

    Exactly. The accumulated reactions that other people give us, forms a big part of our self-perception. Of course there are psychopaths and narcissists who literally don't care about anything but themselves. But most of us judge ourselves based on the feedback we get some other people. If that feedback has been overwhelmingly negative, how are we supposed to perceive of ourselves as otherwise?

The way we feel is determined by things we are usually not aware of. The more we can understand these things, the better we will become at having power over them. In this case, self-knowledge is power.

    "They were, when it mattered, left painfully unloved and ignored to an extent that they are liable never to have recognised or mourned adequately; their arrival in the world did not delight a few people as it should have done, and therefore need compassion, sympathy and emotional validation far more than they will ever require the tools of outward beautification." This is just so poignant and beautifully true.

    I agree with this video; you feel beautiful by being loved, not compliments. However, purely from a practical standpoint (i.e., dating), looks are still important. I’m not a 10/10, but I promise that putting effort into small things like your hair and clothes can make a dramatic difference; it makes you look and feel more confident. I’m privileged to be able to afford replacing my wardrobe and hair product, though.

    Though I have been loved and adored by my parents and my relatives, the way my first boyfriend shamed me for not being beautiful left an irrevocable scar in my heart and left me feeling ugly and unloved. Fortunately, I have met a number of people who love me genuinely regardless of my appearance and began to feel whole again. Even though sometimes I still couldn't help but feel physically inadequate, I try to remind myself that things aren't as extreme as my inner demon try to convince me. I do have my own beauty and there are people who recognize such beauty as well. In a way, I have regained the love within myself and began to spread love to others just like how I was raised to be. The tough part now is learning to accept my physical appearance without stigmatizing it. It can't be denied that I'm overweight. So, I'm planning to gradually lose weight and become more fit. To that end, I am trying to remind myself that I'm losing weight not because I am not beautiful but because it would be more healthy to do so. Honestly it's still a challenge. But I hope I'm going into the right direction.

    As a professional makeup artist for over 10 years in downtown Chicago, I can absolutely attest the the accuracy of this message. I was privileged to have thousands of strangers from all different ages, races, genders, and socioeconomic statuses confide their deepest physical insecurities in me before I spent 45 or so minutes applying products and getting to know them. I’m a good makeup artist and I really enjoy making people feel attractive. But over the years, I had to come to terms with the fact that neither the products I was selling nor the well-meaning compliments on my clients’ physical beauty meant anything at all. Worse yet, I was making my living by planting more seeds of insecurity in them and myself by maintaining a focus on superficial changes-which I knew would never solve the real problem of needing to heal our individual and collective shame. Thanks so much for making me feel better about being unemployed, makeupless, unshowered, and unashamed, School of Life!

I don't think we should compliment kids on looks at all even if it's just a self esteem boost, I think it just adds pressure and makes it seem like it's the most important thing about you, so you fight to keep up your only sense of worth they had for you.

    Having a signature everything made me feel significantly more attractive. I wear the same style everyday with the exact same makeup. Once a began to feel familiar with the way i looked, knowing exactly what i look like at any given time, i stopped checking mirrors and reverted my focus to internal. And no, not tge cliche being a Better person. My personality features that i genuinely find attractive i enhanced. One of which for example are my interests in science. I find intelligent people immensely sexy regardless of their age. 1. Find a signature everythings and stick to that so you grow familiar with how you look and hence more comfortable. 2. Find your favorite non physical traits about yourself that don't involve other people. Fo you think you have an attractive music taste? Do you have any hobbies that make you feel unique? Do you have a particular talent that you can feel good about showing off the fruits of? Express them and focus on them. Make them part of everything in your life and who you are. Grow into yourself
