Epiphany

[lishapisha002]

I am deeply saddened by the shallowness of today’s youth. (including myself) It really hit me today. I was browsing my friends’ journals on livejournal.com and there is this guy that I thought was just perfect (SO CUTE) was talking about 2 communities. So I go to them to see what all the hype is about. They’re some sort of hotness communites. Only

you must be talking about the_exalted (used to be nonuglies). yeaaah. they're great!!

the main reason (i think) they decide to be a part of that is because they have low self esteem. they get some kind of sick pleasure out of making others feel inferior to them.

sad thing is, we all have a bit of vanity in us. everyone has the want to be told that they are beautiful. those who say they don't are probably lying.

i don't think that makes you a hypocrite.. i think it makes you human.

Thank you. I feel really vulnerable for posting that entry. I had originally posted it for noone to see, and then I decided fuck it and set it for all to see. And yes, one of the communities with the_exalted. Anyways, I think you're right, that sometimes, we all want be told things. But with me, its never been like that, because I've never believed anyone. No matter what anyone says, or has hard as I try, all I see myself as is ugly. I guess maybe thats why I did the hotornot thing. Try to convince myself Im not as ugly as I think I am. Its not working but anyways, I gotta go...more emails to reply to :)

you go!

props to you for your epiphany. realize, too, though, that you're probably never going to get away from the whole "appearance" thing. we're human -- we suck -- we're shallow. BUT once we -realize- this, as you have done, we can begin to fight against it.
well, i guess not the human part. yeah.
out before i start sounding crazy.

lol, yes i agree. But i think its only half of me that cares. The only reason that I know that part of me does care, is that sometimes when I get insulted, it hurts. (That's the human in me coming out, I guess.) But the rest of the time, I usually don't care. damn being human. damn it all.

I know what you mean, I do. It's like it doesn't matter how often and how many people tell us we're pretty. All it takes is for ONE STUPID MORON to tell us we're ugly or plain, and the rest goes all to Hell, right?
And you should get insulted: So many people are way too rude.

yeah i know what you mean. You start to feel okay about yourself..(not enough to get a big head, just okay) and then if gets smashed. I hate it
