Why we have so difficulty in accepting our physical attributes?

Question

Only if we accept it, we can improve it. If we never accept it, we will always be resentful and jealous of others. Neither we would put effort into improving ourselves.

I think that it's because it's more of a subconscious thing. Sometimes it's just hard not to compare yourself to someone, similar to a "we all want something we don't have" kinda mentality. Society also plays a role. The public sets a lot of pressure on what is considered "beautiful and attractive", and if we look in the mirror and don't have that specific trait, it can make it a bit more difficult to accept ourselves. I've focused a lot on self-love and acceptance lately so I am more comfortable in my own skin now than I was when I was younger.

I feel that I have accepted that I have two noses and I am constantly trying to grow a third but so far it just hasn’t happened. I think I just haven’t quite accepted it enough.
