Is it normal to feel offended when others reject my idea of beauty?

[jennifer_bloom]

I have offended hundreds of people by having a different definition of beauty than other people.

And if you think beauty is universally standard, just look at the cultural differences between Chinese standards of beauty and European standards of beauty.

In university, a very articulate black guy told us that the African standard of beauty is totally different from the American standard of beauty.

Not being a biologist or psychologist, I believe my mind chooses visual features that my physical genes consider to be genetically beneficial to me producing healthy children.

One example is that the men I consider good looking, are rarely considered good looking by others, but they always score extremely high on I. q. Tests.

Well I think it's normal to feel offended on anything that you're talking about that you have created or that you have an idea of your vision I mean but you can't look at it as being offended you want to look at it as a bigger picture of take their idea listen to it you don't have to agree with it but I mean anytime you have negative or is something that puts your idea down it's actually a good thing you might not think it is but anything that makes you think deeper and get a bigger picture because it will tell you either you could be wrong and you can change it or it will tell you great I'm all right on the money I'm right where I want to be so don't be offended about anything that anybody ever criticizes you about or has constructive criticism it's there to make us look a little bit deeper into things just because it is this way today doesn't mean it will be that way tomorrow so it gives you a broader picture of everything I would welcome it you know it kind of will offend you or make you feel something because it's your work it's what you put into it but don't take it like that look at it as a learning experience all negatives are not negative only if you make them negative take it and turn it into a positive and thank the people first having their opinion

I think the only time that you can really get offended is if maybe what they're saying is kind of true you know and you so what fix it change it or leave it exactly the way it is it's their opinion not yours you have your own and that's what you're going after it's your idea make it shine but don't let anybody take that away from you just because they think or feel something it doesn't mean they're right
