We are all more obsessed with our appearance than we like to admit. But this is not an indication of ‘vanity’. Vanity means conceit, excessive pride in one’s appearance. Concern about appearance is quite normal and understandable. Attractive people have distinct advantages in our society.
It is not surprising that physical attractiveness is of overwhelming importance to us.
Does it neccesarliy mean that looking good will make you feel good? Factors that influence us could be related to:
- sex
- age
- adolencents
- adults
- ethnic group
- sexual orientation
- media
- mood
- childhood experiences
- eating disorders
- fitness obsessions
- sport
- acceptance of socialcultural acceptance
My best advise when looking into the mirror would be to see WHO you really are, not WHAT you really are. If you are un-happy with the way you ‘look’, then you may need to look deeper within to know exactly you are un-happy about. Happiness comes from within – shine today!
