Hello! I think most of you guys have been concerend about "beauty". Then, what is your definition of beauty and where the image of beauty comes from? Is that from media or your personal experience?
Do you think you are one of the "beautiful" people? If you say "No", why would you say so? If you say "Yes", how did you build your self-esteem?
And also I want to know your idea/opinion of "beauty" "body image" "self-esteem" . Thank you!
I think that matter of beauty is very important in life. without it life would be quite boring and meaningless. I think my image of beauty is from my personal experience and with influence of media and some kink of fashion. as often said, there are external beauty and internal beauty.as a one of men, I am deeply atracted to the external beauty of women, but having lived up to this age ( 37) it is also true that I can not be satisfied with a woman only with external beauty. for external beauty, there are trends which canges by time, but internal beautey is timeless and the same all the time. that is generated when you are deeply connected with your core of the person.
when I deeply and difinately feel like myself I think I am beautiful and both externaly and interanlly I am vividly alive. so then I will have quite a high self esteem.
so, what is important to be with the beauty is that make the most of what we are.... I wish I were beautiful all the time in that sence!!
The question of what constitutes "beauty" is extremely culturally subjective and I really see no one single definition of it. For example, in most parts of the World, Obesity is considered beautiful and of course, our values have dramatically changed over the years. Because I study anthropology, I really have to say that this notion, or any notion that we believe to be from our own self-experience is really culturally constructed and our values are predetermined by those around us up to even the media. As for the question of whether I`m beautiful or not, I would say that because I`m an embittered mysogenist who happen to hate to wade through all the stupid people around me, I`m definitely not.
You have value as a human being. A person who says such things about you is the one with the problem, not you. Have you heard the saying that "a coward attributes his own weakness to others". I think this is very true and I hope one day you can find true happiness in who you are.
