Why is everyone so negative when it comes to their appearance?

Society really sucks,…

I think it has to do with commercials. You see all these commericials on 80 calorie bars, cerial, yogurt, & so on. It’s just telling us to improve our appearance when we don’t need to. Society is telling us to not eat fat, yet they support Mcdonalds 100 % o.O Weird… Anyways what I like about myself is my eyelashes. They’re long and catch people’s eye.

I believe people are so negative about their appearance because society has created this false image of beauty which is almost unattainable. Most actress and actors can’t even live up to the standards and magazines, billboards photoshop them making them flawless. People try so hard to be the best and look the best when they can’t they often only think negatively of themselves and insecurities begin to grow.

We are our own biggest critics.

And also because people have low confidence . It’s rare to find someone with high confidence . Aaannnd some people do it just to hear people say they aren’t ugly and tell them all these things. Tv , magazines , movies , don’t see people like yourself ? Well good. You are real ! They aren’t. But they create a self image for people and because it’s extremely difficult to do without being a millionaire , people will have a negative personal perspective of themselves.

well as a girl, it hurts to see a guy u like feel attracted to another girl. a prettier girl, smarter, athletic, more fun, tanned(im really fair) it also hurts to hav other girls look down on u cuz ur features dont create a certain shape. or hav them talk about ur acne or how ur just so fat. i find im not as insecure during the sumemr vacation. thers not much to liv up to.

It’s because, like everyone else says, society pushes this one idea of beauty onto us and tells us that there’s only one way for us to be successful and wonderful and loved- which is to look like THEY think we should.

And, I don’t like much but I guess I could say my fingernails. They’re really smooth and nice lol idk. I also like my wrists because they’re tiny and the bone kinda sticks out and they make me look all delicate and stuff.

There’s a difference between society advertising products to improve our HEALTH and products to help us lose weight, though. And to be honest all those 100 calorie snacks and other weightloss products might not be a bad thing for our world. I mean, have you SEEN some people? It’s not healthy.

Personally i think people do it so they don’t hear it from someone else first

So true.

huh? im not negitive about my image at all. if people dont like the waay i look or insult me for it i would tell them to Get stuffed. I dont give a shiz about the mapagizens or modles or people ingeral give me “comments” on my body image etc. I know there will always b ppl better than me and not better than me, we are all people and yeah. if u hate urself and ur image then well in my opinion ur insulting and degrading ur parents. remember u take after bth of them afer all

i dont do that.

I think because people want to hear they are wrong like for example when people say they are fat(but they obviously not) they just want whoever they are talking to to be like no you aren’t you are so skinny! I gotta say for myself though it would be I am not fat since most of my friends are haha.

Well for me it’s because i have low self esteem but what I like about myself is my long legs and my figure. But in general I think it’s because of what the top comments have said =)

Iam not negative about my appearence..i am ok with myself i have accepted who i am and i feel very comfortable..the thing is that i dont like me to tell things about me…

cos of the environment of people around you. i mean i was happy with myself until year 6. i started getting bullied and im in year 9 now and i still cant get over the fact of that and i know im not bad looking compared to some people but its what people have said and stuff. im still depressed at my appearance when i look in the mirror but i move on and say ‘’tough, this is the way i look and imma make the best of it’’ :)

Why can’t they eat a carrot instead of an 80 calorie brownie though?

ok thanks
