I always liked that “Operation Beautiful” movement. I got a You’re Beautiful message online once, before I’d ever even heard of the project. It made my day. Even when the statement is something you don’t believe, it can make your day. Just pretending can be nice.
Only I realized the flaw with this kind of logic. Beauty in this sense tends to be geared towards self-image in a physical sense; the way we look. Body dysmorphia, being overweight, skin color, age, etc. It’s a little counter-intuitive to me when I think about it. When we convince ourselves that we fit somebody’s standard of physical acceptance about appearance, it’s still about appearance. Self-esteem, especially for women, is so tied to appearance. It’s pretty troubling.
I don’t want to ramble too much, as this is just a thought I got and decided to type it right away. But I guess a better alternative to “You’re beautiful.” would be “You’re valuable and lovable regardless of the way you look.”
Not as catchy, but I prefer it, personally. The very concept of beauty is tricky, and it shouldn’t be the most important aspect of any person. It’s okay to not always feel “beautiful” if it isn’t your priority. There are other, more redeeming qualities to have instead.
If I could brag one quality, I think it would be resilience. Not inner beauty or social grace or anything of the sort that deals with other people’s perception of another individual. What other people think, whether positive or negative, isn’t important at all unless you agree and believe in it. If beauty isn’t your thing, that’s okay. Figure out what is that makes you strong and special.
Compliments from a stranger don’t cut it.
