it isn't selfish for you to want others to see beauty in you. i mean, it isn't selfish in the sense of the word that it hurts others. the word "selfish" has several meanings for me. one means survival. you have to be selfish in order to survive. one means putting yourself above others all the time, hurting others. to want to be seen as beautiful falls under the first definition. you want to be admired because that is what makes you feel meaningful in this world. and to feel meaningful is necessary. just some thoughts...
