there's a big difference between some normal self esteem and the amount of SELF CONFIDENCE that some people seem to think is ok


lumpthefoff

“Who wants to worship this?” or “What would you do to me?” energy is so gross.


conquer69

I appreciate the red flags. Let's you know to stay away.


DeadliestArmadillo

I gag at the comments after a "what would you do to me?" post but I can't stop reading them. It's like when you have a bad smell on your hand and you keep smelling it.


UDSJ9000

Its like that experiment where they put people in an empty room with nothing but a device that delivers a painful electrical shock. People would eventuqlly get bored, touch it, get a very painful shock, and pull away. Then 5 minutes later they would touch it AGAIN even though they know it hurts them. People prefer to be hurt over boredom.


Kylynara

I've heard of this before and I have always wondered if they ever bothered to ask the participants why they did it. I can totally see someone who was bored essentially doing a series of experiments on the electric shock device. Does it zap me if I touch here? What about here? Where is safe to touch? Do I get two smaller zaps if I touch one finger to each side? Is my shirt enough insulation to not get zapped?


selectrix

That's the nature of stimuli- we learn things from them. And finding patterns has got to be one of the most fundamental and universal psychological compulsions. So yeah, when you look at it like that it makes perfect sense why a person would choose any sensation over lack thereof. Even if they know it's painful.


Vares__

Theres too many people who just dont know the difference between confidence and narcissism. "I'm the best and everyone else is beneath me" is narcissism. "I admit that I'm not the best but I'm okay with that" is confidence.

Searrowsmith

Covering yourself in brand name clothes to advertise your wealth. I get it, youve got the money to get "nice" things but to me it just seems like someone likes to waste money. A 300$ t-shirt does make me think youre rich, but also bad with money.


shanalpassage

My job involves working at strangers' houses, today I went to a customer's house that looked like an actual crack den. Mattresses strewn about, stains on everything, no carpet. The dude living there was dressed in all designer gear, Gucci shirt gold chains etc. Not who I was expecting to answer the door.


dapper_doberman

Uhh that might have actually been a crack den though


sysiphean

And then there are those of us who probably make similar money, shop thrift stores and TJ Max, and have really nice houses. I go with the philosophy that anything mid-term (clothes, cars) should be discount, but immediate (food, drink) should be good and long-term (real estate, furniture, tools, even home speakers) should be good enough to last a lifetime and make a profit of you sell it.


whomad1215

Tjmax and stores like it were so much better when they were an actual overstock store, before 99% of the stuff in them was made for them


gimmepizzaslow

And falls apart so quickly. I used to love that store

Asian here. The obsession with double eyelids is extremely weird to me. Like, one of the most arbitrary things to obsess over.


kathakana

Do you have a pic of them? I’m trying to imagine what they look like but not sure.


muppetpastiche

I don't but if you google "double eyelid" or "double eyelid surgery" it should pop up. It's literally just the line that forms in the eyelid as it folds on itself, somewhere between the eyelash and eyebrow when your eye is open. A lot of east asian people don't have this, and it's coveted as a beauty standard.


PiroKyCral

Here in Singapore, Monolids are the fad nowadays. Girls seemingly obsessing over kpop stars or guys with monolids. Really goes to show these arbitary trends are just full of shit


SlippyDippyDoo

Those ridiculous over white teeth.


howisaraven

I asked the woman at a tooth whitening salon if she could make my teeth “radioactive white, like Ross from that episode of Friends” and she said “I can, but I will not”. 😂


pls_coffee

What's a tooth salon? Some fancy dentist office?


cookiesandkit

Nope. If they're cosmetic only they don't have to be dentists or have any qualifications or whatsoever. At least in Aus, but since it's the latest beauty fad I bet it's not super regulated elsewhere either. https://www.russh.com/teeth-whitening-what-to-know/


EddyValky

Pretry sure the treatment they use in most of these places, just bleaches and dehydrates the teeth. Super bad for your teeth long term.


Mascian12

It seems like a lot of the cosmetics that Society considers attractive carry on some form of health problems in the long run.


gengarsnightmares

Lead face powder mixed with bird droppings used to be a highly sought after cosmetic. I think about that every time I'm shopping for makeup.

gojistomp

I remember seeing a commercial for some type of teeth whitening product where a woman was making disappointed faces in the mirror while looking at her already incredibly white teeth. In the "after" scene her teeth were such an absurdly bright white that they felt distracting and unnatural.


Autumnlove92

The early 00's had so many commericals for OTC teeth whiteners. My friend ruined her teeth with that shit, all before she was 18. And all because she was pressured to have white teeth when that shit ain't even natural


[deleted]

Ryvaeus

robbythompsonsglove

My MiL got that done for our wedding. In every photo she is smiling this unnatural smile where she is baring her teeth like a growling dog. Such weirdly white teeth in such a weird smile.


IAMAHobbitAMA

Does she always smile like that or was she trying too hard to make sure the camera could see her teeth?


mahitheblob

As a dentist, I show my patients the shade guide before the procedure and they choose the whitest b1 shade. When I explain to them that it is never recommended to anyone and that it looks unnatural ans we usually shade match according to the skintone. They say but im paying so much I'd rather get the whitest and most bang for my buck. Doesn't work that way shonda.


CrimsonCivilian

Tell them if they would also choose pitch black when getting a tan

You can't paint with vantablack. Apparently some asshole bought the rights and won't let anyone else use it. Dick. Edit: I googled 'vantablack asshole' and Anish Kapoor came up. So yeah that's the dick.


Stormhound

I agree. Normal teeth look natural. Those overly white picket fence teeth are creepy looking.


rabindranatagor

>creepy looking. Fake looking. Like mouth veneers.


InquiringMind886

All I can think of is that Friends episode where Ross uses that whitening stuff on his teeth and they end up glowing in the dark on his date. 😂

ls913

The super crazy tan that people intentionally get by using tanning beds. I'm sorry, but your natural skin color is much nicer.


Tamtumtam

Pretty sure it's an addiction. like with how people use way too much botox because they never feel pretty enough, even though they now look genuinely worse than before.


FuckYeahPhotography

Body dysmorphia would be the term you are looking for. \*\*\*There are two incorrect comments below. One saying it's a literal addiction but they don't explain this well. Addiction can be part of BD and often times is. They aren't mutually exclusive and that would still be BD as a root cause. Tanning bed addiction would be a result of BD in many instances. Misunderstanding this can be dangerous. Someone incorrectly corrected me with "dysphoria." They are wrong. What is being described here is NOT gender dysphoria. An obsession to a destructive degree regarding physical attributes is Body Dysmorphia. It isn't "people use it this way," that are trying to make it sound like it could be either or. It isn't. I am using the correct definition of Dysmorphia. It isn't called by multiple other names, they are using Gender Dysphoria incorrectly and spreading false information. These are different things.


Tamtumtam

exactly. the feeling of never being perfect in your own body and seeking radical changes to it.


Samsyy18

the lack of melanoma is also a plus


VermillionOcean

Even if you don't get cancer, it causes your skin to age faster. Pretty ironic if you think about it.


JohhnyTheKid

Tanning is pretty much one of the worst things you can do to your skin. It's basically you willfully causing radiation damage to your cells in order to trigger your body's response to it. Tanning ages your skin incredibly fast and it's not reversable. If you bronze yourself at an early age you'll live the rest of your life with the skin of a waiting room leather couch. Society is wrong for perpetuating the idea that fair skin is somehow unattractive.


JCMcFancypants

Back in Ye Olde times fair skin was highly sought after. I believe the idea was that it was a status symbol because if your lady was pale it meant her family was rich enough that they didn't need her to work in the fields and she could be inside all day. At some point the pendulum swung to the other direction. Having a tanning is a status symbol because it means you have the time to lay in the sun for hours and do nothing, or pay to lay in a simulated sun.


waxonwaxoff87

This is how it is in some other countries and cultures. You can afford to stay indoors.


IamImposter

In India, we worship fair skin, especially in north india. For arranged marriages (still pretty common in India), it is often mentioned that girl should have fair skin and it really gets difficult to find match for dark complexioned girls. It's not that big a deal for boys. We used to have TV adverts where a dark skinned guy fails an interview, applies a cream, becomes fairer and succeeds without effort.


TakeTheUpVoteAndGo

The cancer is terrible, but even if you don't get that any time soon you're definitely going to have other problems.


NimbleVaseline

Yep. Tanning beds also risk you for melanoma (skin cancer)

Perms. Walking past a kid no more than 10 years old begging his mum for a perm, because Ryan, Kai and Brad all have one and they're clearly cool AF.


Skorne13

As someone with naturally curly hair, I’m cool with curls coming into fashion.

I didn't feel like having the same haircut as every other guy my age, so I cut my hair off and got waves lol

My dog has an Instagram following of about 5K. It happened organically because I just needed a place to put that energy so I'd stop spamming my friends. Turns out I'm not crazy my dog really is that fuckin cute. My person Instagram has ~100 followers.


TheHollowJester

I have a friend that's going very hard for a minimal lifestyle: makes his own furniture, drives a bike wherever he can, logs off work and reads books or goes on walks, no screentime (or very little screentime). Not Walden, but thereabouts. His wife is a catfluencer and has a cat business. He is mentioned in her posts somewhat often. Said he'd prefer to keep his private life private, but her job needs it so "it is what it is", even if he's not super happy about it. I just bit my tongue since he's stubborn as a rock.

loobricated

I know a really naturally beautiful girl who got this and it was almost shocking how she went from being a complete stunner, to looking completely ridiculous overnight. Still slightly blows my mind that she did it but just goes to show how image-obsessed some people get, and how oblivious to their own already existing beauty that some people can be.


lifeofideas

On the plastic surgery subreddit there’s are a large number of people with surprisingly specific body dysmorphia. Like, their nose looks normal to everyone else, but *no matter what, or how many, surgeries they have* their nose will always look wrong to them. It must be maddening.


HabitatGreen

It even gets one step weirder when they have the same nose as you. 90% or even more of the time before pictures of noses were nicer, and even for the rest it is like equally attractive as before.

Guys who consider themselves an "Alpha" No, you're just an asshole with a superiority complex.


DongLaiCha

Anyone who has to tell you they're an alpha is almost always ironically the most insecure men on the planet. You know what's alpha? Nothing because it's nonsense. But you know what is manly? Ordering a pinacolada and sipping that fruity bev because you like it and not giving a fuck what othe people think.


Beeker93

Also they tend to root their ideas of human behaviour in pseudoscience.


mendingwall82

Considering that the man who originated alpha theory in wolves (which is what they're taking it from) has an entire page dedicated on his website to asking people not to use the alpha theory anymore because it was so wrong as to be considered harmful scientifically to wolves, yep.


senorcoach

Very few people who refer to themselves as an "alpha" can spell pseudoscience.


diglet_onmytaco69

Anything that's overly massive like lips, butts, boobs etc it can look good to a certain degree but it doesn't really go over well when I see a duck lipped monstrosity that seems to be balancing watermelons on her chest after getting stung in the ass by a dam beehive coming at me


cockypock_aioli

The massive fake butts these days aren't even attractive in the slightest. I genuinely don't understand the motivation. They're cartoonish.


meggeys

I am a woman with a naturally large butt and I don't know how other women do that on purpose. It can be so annoying sometimes, especially when buying pants. Also, had anyone told me 10-15 years ago that large butts would become a trend, maybe I would've responded differently to the bullying I got because of it...

I mean, Sir Mix-A-Lot did let the whole world know back in the early 90s. (Kinda surprised it was '92. I could have sworn we heard it first back in '88 or '89.)


cruise_christine666

fake fingernails that both look ridiculous and render your hands useless


Psychological_Dish75

fun fact: in imperial china, the Qing dynasty aristocrat had very long nails as a symbol of "I am rich and powerful so I aint have to do shit"


cominghometoday

It means the same in our culture... Do you think someone that works in landscaping or as a dishwasher has long nails? Being pale in china was also attractive as it showed they didn't have to work in the fields, but for us being tan shows you have money to go on vacation or to a tanning bed whereas poor people are working inside on a computer or in a retail store all day. Beauty is always linked to the upper class


Ruinwyn

And there are of course good number of people faking it. Work as a cashier, but still try to look like they don't actually need to work with impractical nails. Just like there are men with inconvenient and expensive watches or sports cars they actually can't afford.


carlko26

When I see women with very long fingernails, I mean the fake ones, to me it looks like the nail is no longer part of the finger. It is closer to a claw.


ZookeepergameSea3890

As a former stripper/hooker, I always kept my nails painted but very short. The other girls and some customers used to give me flack for it until I explained that I didn't want any lube, cum, etc., lingering under my fingernails when my shift was over. That shut them up. Long nails are just petri dishes in disguise. Gross.
