Why do some people go through cycles of being attractive and unattractive?

[Anonymous]

I don’t mean for my question to sound rude by any means. Sometimes a person (man or woman) might be really good or bad looking as say. Teenagers. Then. They seem to go through cycles.

Sometimes they are super attractive and at other points in their life. They aren’t. Then they are again.

Lifestyle (it has to with their stress levels, whether they take care of themselves, eat a healthy diet, exercise, have a skincare routine and other unpredictable factors such as medications, illnesses etc.) and/or genetics

I was attractive from 2016-2020, but the pandemic affected me negatively, it triggered my anxiety and started having panic attacks. Thus I ended up taking a medication that affected my weight. Now I'm feeling better, I'm slowly trying to adjust back to life and get on my feet again

What matters most is on the inside. The pandemic…. Or rather the extreme measures forced on people have caused a great deal of pain on us all. 2020 was hands down the worst year of my life. It started out okay until March.

As long as you’re beautiful on the inside. Sure, it’s good to take care of yourself and want to be healthy and attractive. But don’t beat yourself up over it.

I assume you’re still attractive

Thanks so much for your answer! I don’t mean my question to sound shitty. Kind of why I went anonymous.

But I do notice people change so much and go through cycles

Seasons change looks change: Allergies (puffy etc), poor personal cleaning habits, weight gain/loss, excessive partying (weed, drinks, cigarettes, poor sleep, and bouts of mental illness... off the top of my head.

Levels of stress and external events affect a person's cycle of attractiveness.
