Do you compare yourself at your worst to other people at their best?
When I am looking to improve my appearance/ get ideas of how to look 'better' I basically never get inspired by the people I see out and about. Not because I think they look bad, I just don't live in an area with very many remarkably good looking people (and I worked in aesthetics lol). I'll go out looking like actual shit and still feel like I don't actually look worse than most people, even if my goal was to be invisible and ugly. On the other hand, I feel like I lack a lot of potential, so when I think about how to achieve my own standard of beauty I find myself looking at celebrities and influencers not because I think I look like them, but because I can see my flaws a lot more clearly when I compare myself to a top tier enhanced beauty.
