Do you consider yourself attractive?

Meh. Yes and no. I find myself looking great in one mirror and then hideous in the next. I recieve nothing but positive comments on my appearance from strangers and yet I still find myself feeling unnatractive.

I think the constant compliments from people I got and continue to get in social areas since I hit a certain age has resulted in me believing my physical appearance is the thing I have to maintain.

I envy the young boy I used to be. So care free and didn't care for shallow aspects of himself. He wouldn't care about is hair, he'd just shave it off. If somebody didn't find him attractive, he'd shrug with a smile.

Now all I have is this strange infinity loop of vanity and insecurity going on.
