Why do so many beautiful people have low self-esteem?
Why do so many beautiful people have low self-esteem?
because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. At the very least not all people find what you find attractive to be attractive
They require constant reassurance of their desirability, or their self image crumbles from within.
true indeed.
That's a copout and doesn't address the problem of people who are considered attractive by many having low self-esteem.
Most women think that a lot of other women are better looking then they are and like said they need to be reminded that they are beautiful
two things I've experienced:
they were not "beautiful" in their adolescence. spend your childhood and teenage years thinking you're fucked, that carries over. You don't trust other people after being mocked before; anyone could be secretly laughing at you.
The person is aware their most valuable asset is their appearance, and is a nobody without it. No talent, no interests, no drive. Truely an npc. Related to not "trusting" anyone. Every relationship feels superficial and vain.
Some armchair psychology for you.
Doesn't account for all cases obviously, but some cases are caused by selfies. Shitty phone cams, held out about 2 feet away distort appearances because of focal length or something. This makes one's face look long and flat, and makes the nose look huge. Supposedly there's been an increase in the amount of rhinoplasty surgery because of this.
I don't think moeka had low self esteem I think she was just autistic
Because all women are jealous of pretty women and hate them and all men want to fuck pretty women and hate them if they get turned down. So intelligent or innocent pretty women are universally hated- unless theyre a basic unimaginative airhead stacy/ and can pal around with other stacies.
You couldn't be more obtuse.
Next to no-one but overconfident braggarts easily approach a really beautiful person.
Girls bemoan that shit pretty often actually. Jerk syndrom.
Decent guys who think "Yeah she is too good for me anyway and I will be every asshole first target if I should succeed and hang with her"
Girls do not openly approach guys most times anyway, they much prefer start to 'challenge them' by muttering to their friends and hope that he will call them out without sperging and that a conversation develops that way.
The natural way would be getting or doing the approach while being in a social group, but tight social groups die out more and more in our cellphone age, even for normalfags
And friends are not that easy to find too, if you are a 10/10. Most people will be somewhat loath to hang with a person who is WAY above them in looks since that makes them the ugly second choice.
So few friends, no partners who seem interested.. familar feel to a robot that you start thinking there must be something wrong with YOU then.
Isn't this a cliche? Most good looking women I've seen know they are good looking
a shy cute/hot girl is rare
A lot of that is imo bolstering.
They see their own faults written VERY large, and become loudmouthed and aggressive to cover for any insecurity.
Many males do that too, especially when they are in a mob and feel untouchable.
It is simply more rare for a female to catch a bloody nose for that behavior, so they continue doing it again and again.
Good looking women who are also smart or nice have a hard time of it because everyone hates them and they think it's because of their personality or something intrinsically wrong with them, never realizing that the bitter hatred directed at them by all fellow human beings is due to jealousy (women) or sour grapes (men.)
hedonistic treadmill, basically
it's never enough, you can always go higher and better
Isn't it ironic mostly ugly or average girls give me trouble but not the hot ones?
they may have realized that they're only treated nicely because of factors out of their control and it may lead them to a guilt complex as a result
Your first theory is correct in my case. I was a weird, alien-looking kid but eventually grew into my looks and became model-tier, and although I recognize that I'm attractive now, because of the constant bullying I received as a kid, a pessimistic view of myself has followed me everywhere, which led to anger issues and an inability to tolerate failure.
Also, in social situations, I'm under constant scrutiny no matter what I do. Generally, people absolutely abhor when someone doesn't fit into their preconceptions, so when they meet a truly attractive person that isn't a social butterfly, they get repulsed. At first they dismissed me because I was ugly, and now they dismiss me because I'm not who they want me to be: a "Chad".
This is such a meme. Yeah, there are some attractive people with low self-esteem, but they're the exception, not the rule. Chad and Stacy are on top of the world and they know it.
Because in real life, people dont just flock around you just because you look good, things naturally go easier in conversation or such things like that. And they may not be able to handle being stared at in public if they really are good looking but cant see it themselves
Women don't care if a million 6/10 beta orbiters want them, they only care if Chad finds them attractive enough to commit to, but Chad never commits.
>and they know it
I feel like this is so true. They're at the top of the social food chain and they know it.
>Tfw getting called "bud" by a chad the same age as me
how the fuck should i know that
or any of us
getting called "bud" dosent mean anything, you know. i understand you are autistic though.
I'm a fairly decent looking guy, probably 7/10, 8/10 if I really clean up and dress myself well, but I was weird and fat when I was little, so I got fucked with a lot. No matter what normalfags say, being fucked with a lot when you're young sticks with you. Knowing several have fucked their lives up getting caught with drugs has helped, thankfully.
I think it's like horseshoe theory. The most beautiful and the most ugly probably have similar issues due to how so much is dependent on their looks.
