Feeling ugly can turn into a bad habit
I’ve been seeing a guy, and whenever I’m around him, I’m not myself. I’m usually a strong-willed, independent, opinionated feminist (I don’t hate men, I promise), but when I’m around him, I’m kind of shy, much more girly and always apologizing. Sometimes I feel like I’m not beautiful or pretty enough for him, which is stupid, but I can’t stop thinking that way. I’ve always thought that I’m pretty, but that most guys won’t go for me because I’m not well-endowed and I have a weird nose. I feel like I have a look only certain guys would go for. I haven’t criticized my looks this harshly since I was 10. This guy doesn’t make me feel inferior. We laugh all the time together, and he’s always been really nice to me and listens. He said he likes me, and I like him. Why am I doing this to myself?
