I believe we are all uniquely good at something… appearances is a bit different topic.
but thanks for positivity. @Umbrella
I feel brave in some way that I have a job at the moment. But it’s not a job which I want for a life: I willl work here for maximum a year.
You posted a photo that made you look like a 1940 movie star. Why do you think so low of yourself?
The beauty industry rakes in billions every year because society makes women feel ugly. There’s ageism at play too. Youth is viewed as the all important thing, but it’s not. While I’m not against make up, I think we should also feel good with no make up if we decide we don’t want to wear it.
Outer beauty isn’t the most important thing a person has. There are good books on being more charismatic. I spent the last ten years reading self-help books and working on inner beauty. What this is varies from person to person. For me, it’s everything good, honest, and kind.
It’s been a difficult, because I had all kinds of personality disorders that developed because I let the SZ go unmedicated for a long time, but a worthwhile thing to do. Anger was something I had to fight. I was also negative. I worked on kindness, better social skills, being encouraging and supportive to others, becoming a better listener. Many times I still slip up, but I’ve come so far too.
One thing society does to young girls is infect them with Cinderella Syndrome. It’s very toxic. I’d rather have a good man, than some rich man who’ll replace me with his younger secretary as soon as I start to get really old.
@anon70814080 as I am at work, I have no possibility to write longer one… but I would love to.
But atleast I want to say you have very good ideas. I also prefer inner beauty - such as being a good, honest and kind human being.
What I fear is- that I am not enough. I mean, by society standards, I am average: “not as good as I shall be”
Overall I would also choose a good man rather rich. My man is a good one, we’re happy, sometimes I even fear I am not as good as him. Maybe he is worth better, I mean.
Actually, I hate societal standards. I hate makeup. I hate the way women are portrayed… buuut sometimes, probably because humans are complex, the same is me, I start overthinking beauty. And beauty standards. Though they change as ages changes… but sometimes I feel out of context
i think we tend to imagine that other people have better lifes then we. becouse they are smarter prettier more achieved or in society standarts succesful. but the truth is that we are all people and have same bio machine or bodies thoughts and breath same air. our philosophies about life deffer and attitudes. but in my opinion its just a thoughts and a thoughts can be changed, over time. i think we have to appreciate life all life. and ignore media influence, and radiate brilliance into this world…
appearances is a bit different topic.
but I would love to.
