    This is the opposite of how I feel and it’s ruining me. I need to be beautiful so others will find me desirable, but I also fear compliments and feel guilty for receiving them and not knowing how to respond. I also avoid going outside when I don’t feel pretty enough. I don’t know how to stop, and my makeup expenses are out of control. Please help.

    I’m not getting paid to look attractive to other people. I get shit on all the time for the way I choose to look. Comfy cozy clothes make me happy & I don’t want to put effort into doing my hair. So what?

    “Don’t you want people to find you attractive?” Lol no I don’t want people irl to even acknowledge me. I want to drift through society like a wandering spirit.
