Why would an attractive girl still have low self esteem?


Past, family life, her inner circle. That’s why someone who is blessed with looks and can do more with their mind instead of gossiping with girls and taking IG selfies isn’t going to help her cause. Gotta look in the mirror and say, “I’m going to let go of this, I’m going to cut that person out” if it means going to the gym, doing well in school focusing on herself to reinvent herself than so be it, otherwise if she doesn’t value herself, guys will step over in relationships and people will step over her in life or at work.
It might be because of her past. Things we see on the outside don't tell us anything about what is happening on the inside. If a group of people will treat you like shit, tell you you are worthless and everyone would be better off without you, sadly. You will start to believe it.
Because they don't see themselves the way other's see them. They don't see beauty when they look in the mirror. All they see is flaws and imperfections.
They may have been constantly told they aren't good enough by bullies, abusive parents or an abusive partner.
It’s the equivalent of asking ‘why do people have depression’—there are numerous of factors, to name a few: sexual abuse, rape, domestic abuse, financial issues and etc.

Low self esteem often comes from how a person was treated when young. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how good they may or may not look. If a girl feels she in unattractive and she has low self esteem, then the she could be very good looking, and still believe she is unattractive.
She may not be loved by her family. She may be hurt by her first love. Girls in her school are jealous so they bully her. Guys go out with her just want sex. She is not happy with her life and gets bitter. When she starts taking revenges. This world will judge :’Look! Beautiful women are bitchy. Give them shit.’ And so, average women are mostly loved easily
Maybe she was an ugly duckling and she got used to what she looked like and now sees the same thing. Maybe she was bullied for her looks. Or she could have been a social outcast all her life. We will never know.
It doesn't matter what standards, her friends, or even her family say, if she believes she is unattractive that's what she is to herself, and only way she'll have a higher self esteem is for her to believe on her own that she is a beautiful person
I would have to think because of her beauty she has been driven down by less fortunate looking teens. So to her beauty is a curse. Just remember beauty is only skin deep. Keep an upbeat attitude and treat others with compassion.
I believe am attractive but also have low self esteem sometimes and i believe thats how we humans are we are not perfect each one has their own insecurities... but we should be strong and not let it affect our life
Because it's not the looks what build up your self esteem but the way you react to your image. You can be attractive and and still focus on your faults or be less attractive and happy with it. I chose the latter.
Because they don't perceive themselves as worthy. Could be a variety of reasons such as lack of success, being the target of bullying or always comparing themselves to another person who succeeded plenty of times.
It's not a straight forward case.
Being attractive is subjective, and people who find attractive are people too. They can experience depression, pain, suffering, just like the rest of us. Being attractive or being a person others find attractive doesn't change anything.
Even if they attractive that would just give other girls more reason to fuck her over and for guys to cheat on her so it wouldn't matter if she's pretty there are things that would make her life a living hell just bc she's pretty
Maybe she was not always attractive, or she feels she is only valued for her looks and not for herself, or maybe she was neglected as a child, etc, etc.
Bad experiences from the past. Someone told her she is ugly or made her feel she is not good enough or an ex left her in a way she made her believe she is unattractive and boosted her insecurities.
It's better this way. I know it sounds silly and people tell you to be more confident but once you are (not extremely) they think you're an arrogant hoe.
I was an attractive young man and had low self-esteem.
My wife was a lovely young woman and had low self-esteem.
We didn't see ourselves as others saw us.
because they don't see themselves the way you do. what you see as beautiful, they see as inadequate or grotesque.
I don't know cause guys use her for sex?
I'm just assuming most attractive girls probably have a large body count. If they're attractive they probably like that kind of attention.
She genuinely doesn’t believe she’s beautiful. A hundred of people could tell her she is, but if she doesn’t believe it herself, nobody else can make her.
Because she don't live up to the sosial media view of what a woman should look like and she will be self aware on that. I don't like the Kardashian look, and I don't like the Instagram type of "model's" I want something else.
Beauty is skin deep. Everything else is still debatable.
I guess possibly because of her past, pressures from social media, self esteem issues etc
Maybe they don't see themselves as attractive or perhaps their low self-esteem is unrelated to their physical appearance,
Intelligence, personality, height etc
I'm always shy as I'm only 4ft6 but I'm not unattractive
Most girls aren't insecure about their height.
But yeah i see why 4'6 would make you shy.
However you are making it a big deal by mentioning it and calling your username it.
I see this as a way to make light of it. I'm not worried in myself, but when I have a girl wit legs as long as me next to me, its intimidating
Well just deal with it and dont be intimidated by it.
I know tons of girls who might as well be up to my chest , super petite , but they dont care and neither do most people. They just notice your height but no one is actually gonna see it good or bad.
Plus if you're hot you're hot , whether you're 4'sth (ariana grande, kylie minogue , etc) or 6'1( karlie kloss and many models are 5'7-6'2 ) .
They're both 5ft. I'm not saying I'm unhappy with my height but try standing next to simeone with legs longer than you, its scary
I know tall dudes who are big asf as well and girls taller than me , i really do not feel anything. I just say 'oh that is a tall/medium/short person' in my subconscious or sometimes conscious mind but for like 3 seconds and that is it.
I legit feel nothing. No intimidation or anything like that.
I'm not saying just walking past, but actually interacting with them
Yes girl , i interact daily with fat, skinny , obese , anorexic , super duper short (some even with dwarfism) , super tall ( dudes who are 6'5+ ) or tall girl , average height , stinky , super clean, bitchy , thicc , attractive and everything in between.
I feel absolutely nothing around those people , because im not too busy worrying about how they make me feel. Im busy tending to myself and my own needs first.
Because being attractive doesn't make the world a less shitty place.
Not sure but probably cause they have been judged before
because they probably have been judged before or feel like people don't like them
Our mind knows everything about us & he always find a way to take us down if we don't follow his orders..
People are assholes. People judge, get jealous, ruin others, all of which contribute to low self esteem or worse
bullying, shitty experiences, depression, maybe her parents made her that way.
Because low self esteem is a psychological thing, and it arguably doesn’t have anything to do with ones physical appearance
Generally because of people's jealousy. People try to prove them how they are not attractive to catch their attention. It is sad.
Because they are insecure inside... doesn't matter about the outside.
being beautiful is only the tip of the iceberg your looking at 10% out of 90% there more to people then just being attractive
I’ve found pretty girls are really hard on themselves about any flaw they have because maybe it sticks out more 🤷♂️
Cause your self esteem isn't only based on your looks, more on your vibes with yourself
Perhaps they have a disorder. Hard to say with out knowing ther person and their personality
For me because I don’t have a great career, I live my parents, and I have anxiety that has prevented me from progressing but I’m pretty, a nice dresser and have a lovely personality.
Because we all have traumas and problems in our life. Including an attractive girl.
Because looks are a subjective thing?
Agree
Abandonment? Rejection? Family issues? Abuse?
I don't know you tell me
Because looks are subjective
Why did u block me?
Maybe she has been messed about a lot in the past
Because she's a loser? Looks dont mean shit
Past experiences
Women don’t make sense
mental health issues
mental illness
Bullying
All in her head
