Am I depressed? Was I wrong to think changing my clothes style would make me happier?

I started buying and wearing floral prints
Trying to be less ugly/more feminine and prettier and stuff.

Nobody complimented my floral shirt at work. I also dont feel happier anymore. Maybe at first for a day. Now i feel like it was on vain.

Yes it was silly thinking this would fix 5he issue as it seems your looking for happiness via the validation of others which is never a long term fix to how u view your self

I felt ugly ans thought i would look more womanly if i changed my look a bit. I usually put minimal effort. I thought i was naturally pretty.

And u fully might be u feeling ugly dont mean u are ugly

Honestly I'd just wear what I find cool, not what people tell me to buy unless it's similar to what I buy. So what I'm saying there will always be a person out there that will like your style just not everyone

you should not try to please anyone. wear what makes you happy and confident on
