Dinah! I hardly doubt for one second that I am anywhere as attractive as you are. I really wish that you wouldn't say that you aren't attractive. Though I haven't seen a picture of you, I happen to know for a fact that you are very beautiful. AND DON'T MISTAKE THIS AS ME BEING INSINCERE IN THE LEAST. Honestly, I'm not.
Is there even a such thing as pretty or ugly people anyway? And those of us who "boast" about our attractiveness, do you really ever think about what we really look like? Or what we really think about ourselves? Sure, some of us talk quite a bit, but talking and thinking are two different matters indeed.
Actually, I'm glad you brought this up. I'm fine with the way I look. Quite happy actually. But, I didn't used to be. I used to think that I didn't even look human. But, I am so wrapped up in the fantasy that if I can fool myself into looking like everything is OK, then everything is OK. And, if I can forget everything that happened, then nothing ever happened. And if everyone that sees me thinks, "Well, she looks like she has her shit together, then I can fool myself into thinking that I have my shit together." And that's my biggest problem. But, don't think for one second that I'm not jealous of every other person out there who is comfortable enough to just be who they are and admit that they don't have their shit together and just laugh about it. And admit they have problems, like everyone else. The only ugly person I know is ME! And that's the honest truth hun!
