Is it true that beautiful people only see their flaws?

I think that beautiful people have a hard time excepting that they are beautiful because they have a differnet view of what being beautiful is. Everyone has someone else that they constantly wish they were them or even just had that one feature about them. People are born with the instinct of seeing whats wrong and fixing it and that applies to our bodies too. That being said, everyone has a differnet definition of what beautiful is and no matter what, its not going to be them. If you are asking this question because everyone thinks you are beautiful but you don't see it then I would just like you to know that you are literally perfect. I wish that when I was 16 I looked like you!! You have metioned multiple times that you work very hard to have the body you have and let me tell you that it definitely shows!! I hope this helped girl!

I think it comes down to personality and your level of self esteem. I'm attractive, my whole life I couldnt go anywhere without hearing about my looks from somebody, when I look in the mirror I can agree that I'm attractive but I don't see myself on the same level that other people do, I can acknowledge my looks but I also see so many flaws that others don't seem to see. So although others might see me as very attractive or even "perfect to them", in my mind I'll never be good enough unless I can get rid of my flaws. This might be similar for other girls but everyone is different.

If you're good looking and have been assured multiple times, I think you should just focus on the type of person you become

[Emogirl999]

That's what I'm currently working on, I know I still need to grow a lot as a person. I'm working on having a more healthy lifestyle, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

No. I'm sure most see their strengths. It's no coincidence that more attractive people tend to have certain personality types & traits... But ofc flaws might stand out more since they recognize their beauty potential without them. Like everyone else.

Our happy memories get jumbled up in our mind, but our bad memories are hardcoded in our brain so that we are alble to recall that embarrassing thing again and again. I think same case is with the flaws whether they be body flaws or other.

[Cassie_94]

I think it’s more to do with individual self-confidence really. Some typically beautiful people can be supremely confident, or they can focus on one little blemish - similarly a typically not so beautiful person can be very confident, or they can feel insecure about their appearance. So I think it’s more to do with the person, their personality and their insecurities rather than being just a ‘beautiful people’ thing.

[wEiRdG]

True. It's really what comes out of someone's mouth when they see you twice a day that convinces you whether your gut is right or wrong.

[Averysessy]

As a female who’s been considered beautiful her entire life , made an income wearing fashion for designers and appearing in the pages of magazines From 1994-1999 - it turns out -am the epitome of the subject matter here, I can tell you the EXACT reason why we are so critical of ourselves physically.
Being valued constantly for beauty lends the person valued to internalize that ALL her worth relies on an outer appearance, (even if there are many other wonderful facets which are substantially deeper than the superficial which is in her favor.)
She therefore criticizes every imperfection knowing that if these faults would be corrected she could remain worthy in the eyes of those who pedal-still her for her beauty. In addition it pleases the subject to see the joy her appearance gives to the recipients of her esthetic and as a person with a caregivers nature it makes sense that correcting imperfections and being hard on herself is due to the unwavering desire to please admirers.

[wEiRdG]

I think people know very well it's hard to change your personality or mind than it is to change your body, clothing, face (on some level) therefore they focus on looks.

Although this is not true about someone who's extremely ugly, they really feel the urge to look normal, they really have that feeling and have been reassured that their gut is in fact, right..

[Bel88]

Hmm... interesting hypothesis. Quite often I don't like what I see in the mirror, because I see flaws galore, so could that mean I'm actually a stunning supermodel in disguise? Could that be the reason why when I'm in public I see people staring at me, with their jaws on the floor and their eyes bulging?

[FreyaRed]

I'm attractive and I it's nothing more than common egocentrism. The magic of appearance gives you attention but it sets you pedestal where people who project themselves in you, start to analyzing your behavior. Of course they aren't less egocentric than you're, but they see this specific and other flaws only on you, they never see these flaws by themselves.

[Lynx122]

No it's women who see only their flaws ^^ I've been happy with my looks my entire life :) I have felt insecure about other things though :)

[nawtee_me]

If they are beautiful then that is all they have to look at…

[allie_lynn]

i mean do beautiful people refuse to acknowledge that they are beautiful so they always look for flaws to assure themselves otherwise?

[nawtee_me]

I guess unless they are conceded and only see more beauty.

[allie_lynn]

lol ok, thanks for the opinion by the way

[nawtee_me]

So you don’t look for flaws and you are not conceded either. You must be the exception because you are gorgeous.

[Apulu_3]

Not all beautiful people are like that.

Beauty is subjective. For example I have never found Ryan Reynolds looks appealing.

[wEiRdG]

No, Aesthetic beauty is objective. Ryan Reynolds has a long mid face, which makes him look less intimidating compared to someone like Harry Styles who has a mid face quite short.

Now, I know Ryan Reynolds isn't in the same realm as Harry Styles, because he's Harry Styles... but there are more reasons... Ryan covers his bad jawline with a beard, on the other hand, Harry Styles has a wide jawline which is attractive objectively.

There are loads faking it, that's the main thing to keep in mind, when I search up 'beautiful woman' on google, I find almost all of them not attractive to me. They're not ugly, they're just not attractive compared to someone I jerk off to.

[Opinion Owner]

@wEiRdG there are many women who don’t find Harry Styles attractive. Post a question on GAG asking if you find Harry Styles attractive and I think you would probably get at least one or more women besides me saying no.

[wEiRdG]

You mean in terms of aesthetics too? Talk about your own personal experience, do you find him attractive, aesthetically at least?

One thing I highlighted and will highlight now is many men fake it just like many women, I've seen a girl who's face was perfect, completely out of this world for me, and there were men who said her nose is too big etc.

[NorthAfrican]

I don't find either of rayan or harry handsome tbh

[Opinion Owner]

@wEiRdG I find neither Ryan or Harry attractive based on their looks.
An example of a celebrity I find attractive would be Henry Cavill but there are a few non-famous men I have seen who I found more attractive than Henry.

[exitseven]

No, they usually see other people's flaws.

[CoolCatMar1]

I think so. But it's not true about each

[Wise4myage]

Everybody see's their flaws..

[Naimgood]

How the hell would I know?

[manfromsomewhere2]

i guess sometimes.. like anyone

[Babygirl_S]

Who knows?
