Idolizing people for their beauty. Learned the difficult way that nobody cares about being good as long as you’re beautiful and I regret having that mindset because of the people I surrounded myself with. Was filled with so much insecurity, bitterness, resentment towards myself for not meeting standards I let other people set for me and just hatred in general for people who did meet those standards. I let my insecurity take me over so much that I would push people away because I felt so disgusting in my own skin that I thought nobody could ever see any reason to like me. I don’t regret the lessons I learned along the way; everybody is perfect the way that they are and nobody needs specific traits to be a pretty person. I learned to appreciate myself and to become a person other people want to be around rather than someone who is strictly fixated on appearance. I genuinely feel awful for anyone who might experience what I did, though. The internet is an awful place in a lot of ways and definitely plays a big role in determining where people fit beauty-wise for them, and I just hope more people have the revelation I did if they are already in that situation.
