So when people say they prefer taller people it is something that a short person that is 5'5 cannot do anything about when the other person is 6'4.

If the whole world was blind, people will make each other feel bad by commenting quality of their voice, skin and hair texture, body shape and scent, etc... If someone wants to harm you, they will find a way. It's up to you to show them one of your beautiful fingers;)

I'm young, fair skinned, and tall ; my mom has commented on my big thighs, my chin, and my 'typical chinese face'. She's commented about my hair in a positive way, but nevertheless I told her : "everyone looks good and should dress according to how they look" She got angry. Beauty is really not vital to individual functioning. It pisses me off that our looks are so commented on. Now, Korean beauty standards are upheld. As a tall, big thigh woman, with slightly masculine features, I'll never fit. We'll NEVER fit the beauty standards, might as well just dress however we want. More and more, I ignore my mom's comments about my clothes. Quite literally, I just act as if she never said anything. Why waste time listening to pointless comments like this?

Men and women are ruthless and careless unfairly commenting on women's looks. And it sticks. People need to just shut up. When I was younger and stunning I'd get careless critiques.

That's true , I'm 33 and I was looking at younger pics of myself, thinking how beautiful I was when I was younger but I never saw it when I looked at myself in the mirror. I always criticized myself and thought "if only I could lose 30 pounds, then I'd be a knockout". And people made comments like that to me!! But as I'm getting older I'm realizing even the most beautiful women feel insecure & want to change something. I just don't want to waste the rest of my youth not enjoying my beauty, before it's gone ....my mom has spent her whole life on a diet & she's beautiful, I don't want to do the same thing. Our culture slams these unrealistic beauty ideals down our throats -- "buy this, or do this and you will be beautiful". It's sad that it's just advertising trying to sell us things we don't need and it makes us feel insecure.

Whenever I come across people who judge others on the basis of color, appearance, religion or ethnicity; I feel pity because they can't see beyond what's visible to the eyes; they are slaves to their senses. When a child is born, mother pray for her/him to be healthy and that's all that matters. Whenever I used to listen people judging me for my color/ height/ weight, I estimate the growth of their brains :-) Don't waste your energy on such people, just ignore them and move on. You're beautiful the way you are, and certainly not born for validations.

I swear that phone cameras don't show your true beauty. Seriously i was so shocked about some pictures of my coworkers. They look way better in reality than in images. That just provea that the photos that you see aren't accurate.

I searched the word "beauty" on google in 2024 and got women of all skin colors, light and dark. I guess things are changing now, which is great. For the past few years I have seen dark skinned women being represented a lot, for example in Miss Universe, the contestants that made it through were almost all medium to dark skinned women. I feel like that was made on purpose though.

Idk. If you go to a country with lots of white people I think a darker apperiance is seen as exotic and beautiful. I am white and blond and live in a country where thats rare. I have a cute face but i really dont feel like i get more attention for that than someone less blond or less white. I find dark skin beautiful, I look like a total zombie next to anyone with a bit more pigment. I guess everybody has a different view on whats beautiful. But yeah most inportant to appreciate yourself. Find something that you like in your appareance or the way you carry yourself and consentrate on that! Its gonna be allright. Life is too short to worry about these things. Even its hard sometimes :/ cheers and all good for you ! 🌸:)✌

The best lesson you can learn is that your opinion of yourself is the only one that matters. And you can make that opinion better when you focus OUTSIDE of looks. Find your passions! Art, music, video graphics, video games, nature, Wicca, Cars, animals...become good at something and fall in love with your talent, then looks will take a backseat. Looks only matter to people who offer little else

Thank you! Talking about beauty in this format immediately puts you up for judgment by others on how you measure up, so this can't have been an easy presentation for you. I let myself be led around by the opinions of others for so many years that it led to dysmorphia. Much healthier to decide for yourself what beauty is and that you are IT, no matter what anyone else says.

Sometimes parents can be very cruel and uncaring. Don't allow anyone like that to define your self worth. You are only one who is allowed to define your self worth. Find better parental role models from among aunts and uncles whom you know in your gut are good people. You can listen to the guided meditation on KZread called 'there's nothing wrong with you'. There are many other good ones on the Insight Meditation Timer app (it's free) and on KZread. Also for better health try the nutritional ketogenic diet and some exercise and you'll do great. Make your own decisions, be low contact and emotionally detach from your parents and move ahead in life. 💕
