Sometimes I see a really handsome guy, like a supermodel or something, and I get angry because I'm not like that, even though I'm not bad-looking. Am I the only one?

physical beauty is an illusion. it's funny ... once you realize that, the true beauty of all kinds of things and people and energies becomes so patently obvious, so edifying; it's a very freeing notion.

Have you ever watched a plastic surgery show. Beauty can hurt. Rhinoplasty involves taking a hammer and cipping away at the bone in your nose. Breast reconstruction involves cutting a piece of flesh from your abdomen and moving it up to your chest so as not to lose blood flow to the tissue. Liposuction is nothing more than a small incission allowing a long needle to remove fat wich may be inserted into other parts of your body. You can have your stomach stapled. You can have hair implanted in your scalp. There are tatoos, and piercings to be had. Have you ever been to the dentist? How about braces? Ever heard of waxing? Try going under a hair dryer with a tight pin curl body wave. And then there is diet and exercise. They all hurt
You are mad because there are beautiful people out there.
That is so wrong.
This isn't a competition.
Be the best you can be and that is enough.
And if you see a beautiful person, get to know them, they may be equally beautiful inside. If they are not, that is good to know as well.
Remember, anger and desire are two sides of the same coin and if you spin it on its side you can see them both at once.
And while I am at it, try watching "The Sure Thing" with John Cusack. "The Greatest Film Ever Made" as it says on the jacket. There is a scene at a diner that fits the way you feel and its humor will help you feel better about what you are thinking. Enjoy.

Those supermodel types, for the most part, work hard to look like that. They work very hard at exercising hours every day. They watch what they eat and drink. Some eat less than 1,000 calories a DAY!...that's about one cheeseburger to you, and they are the original water-bottle-carriers...for many water is theie main/only beverage. To keep looking 'fresh' and rested, they put partying on the back burner. The jobs they get require many things...flat abs, firm tushy, no visible fat. Many of these creatures start getting 'mini-lifts', etc, in their early twenties! Long before the rest of us even think about lifting anything but our fork. Do you think that is what you want for your life? Care to exercise for a few hours or would you rather have a burger, fries and a shake?

You are not the only one that feels this way. I feel pressure all of the time to keep up with the way other pretty girls look. I myself am attractive but there are times when I'm either with a friend who gets more attention or notice others getting more attention and it hurts. Sometimes its helpful to remind yourself that people do have different interpretations of beauty. Another helpful hint is that makeup (men on tv have it on) and especially clothes/assecories can really add attraction to a person.

like i say be proud of yourself inside and out. you can't always change the way you look but you can always change the way you see yourself in yourmind. also sometimes when people lets say get a nose job they may lose there personality along with it. cuz that was a part of them and then its gone forever. be proud of who and how you are. looks aren't everything its just how this world makes it out to be. your looks are apart of you. you are unique. if everyone one was perfect to every last hair on the head and every last fingernail we would be the same! life is not meant to be the same for everyone. neither are looks. also those models may not like their toe or their hands or something but you may look at them and see perfection to every detail of them but how do you know that someone doesn't see you in that way? you don't. so maybe you see them as perfect. well maybe someone out there sees you as perfect. Ohhhh yeah i hope you get it now. I wish you good luck.
Looks can only hurt you if you let them.
