10 Things You Should Know If You Feel You Are Not Beautiful

Beauty.
The quality we royally fucked up in recent times.

We see beauty as something that is adored and admired by everyone. And any person who doesn’t conform to
these attributes is called ugly. We do not even pause for one second before throwing our judgement and opinion
at other people.

Is it really that simple? To opine about someone else’s appearance without going deeper? Without even knowing the person?

Wasnt beauty a more well-rounded word before its meaning was spoiled?

1. This is the age of photoshop, where everything is airbrushed and perfectly shown

We think that everyone on the glossy photos are flawless, but they are not. No one looks perfect. Not even in real life. But people do not get that.

 

2. This is the age of Instagram and Facebook and Snapchat

Where showing off perfect bodies is the norm. Where clicking 1000 pictures and selecting the best is what seems right.

 

3. Social standards include looking slim and fair.

That is why fairness creams still thrive.

 

4. People fail to realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Beauty is subjective. An ugly person for a million might be the most attractive to one. And that is why beauty is so fickle as a concept. And hence useless too.

 

5. And there is so much more to beauty than just skin color and hair

There is so much more to a person than just the appearance. The amount of life in them, the grace with which they conduct themselves, the intelligence and passion for what they love – all of these and many more factors also weigh in.

 

6. And even if the people outside do not realize it, it is their fault

Because we are too quick to judge. And that is why a person who thinks you are not beautiful should not be given too much importance.

 

7. And nor do you have to wait for a person to tell you or a person who will come up

A lot of beauty comes from inside. From being a good person too. And if you are aware that you have a good soul, you really do not have to wait for someone to come and tell you anything.

 

8. It’s your prerogative to feel beautiful, to be good so that you feel better about yourself

It is immensely necessary for you to find your inner beauty – it is a step to accepting yourself as a person. A step towards loving yourself as you are.

 

9. Because there are many out there, pretty faces, who loathe others

I am sure you have met your fair share of these people.

 

10. And that is why, in a world like this, beauty takes a whole new meaning

And that is why when you meet and get to know a person well, you cannot but ignore their appearance completely.

Because the concept of outer beauty is shallow and conceited.

And when you bond with a person you expand your understanding of them beyond the appearance.

And suddenly, they seem beautiful.
