Is it normal that i don't know what beauty is anymore?

When I was younger, beauty used to be about the way that you looked on the outside. Anymore, people keep saying that true beauty comes from the inside. This is really confusing to me, because I disagree that beauty comes from the inside. To me, beauty is just something that looks good. Kindness comes from the inside. Is this normal?

    Beauty was never solidly defined by appearance. Beauty is anything that evokes an emotional response. Beauty of the heart, beauty of the mind, beauty of the soul, etc.

    I disagree. Although yes, a person can be beautiful on the outside, I do believe a person can have a beautiful personality. A lot of people I know have ugly personalities, too. It just depends on how you define beauty as it can be interperated differently by everybody but I do believe a person can be beautiful on the inside.

    Hell, my grandmother is 62, she's wrinkly, and has old lady hair but I still think she's a beautiful person because of how her smile and laugh lights up a room. She's kind hearted and her personality makes her beautiful, to everyone who knows her.

    I knew a girl in primary school, and highschool infact, and everybody was jealous of her looks since like the fourth grade. She was skinny, she had baby blue eyes, rosy cheeks and pale blonde hair. She also had a rotten personality right from the get go and when I matured enough to realise that beauty is not just one's appearance, I stopped being jealous of her looks because I realised that she was actually a very ugly person deep down.

    Beauty doesn't have to come ONLY from the inside, beauty exsist In the form of appearance too, but its the inner beauty in a person that matters.

    It's normal to be confused by the idea of beauty if you grew up in a society undergoing mass brainwashing.

    Define Beauty: The qualities in a person or a thing that give pleasure to the senses or the mind.

    • Beauty to me always was something that looked good. Not to sound mean, just saying personality was something that was different from beauty....

    To me a truly beautiful (or perfect) girl would have flawless looks with a lovely personality to match.
    She would be a 10.

    I don't know if she exists...

    Everyone sees and defines 'beauty' in a different way.. we all look at beauty differently. What it is to you, isn't the same as it is to me. Someone can have a beautiful personality. And yes a lot of people have beautiful looks, which theyre blessed with.
    But someone with 'beautiful looks' isn't always the nicest, most caring, generous, and honest person.

    • Thanks, I just get so confused anymore.
      Here's what's going on inside my head.
      -This girl is beautiful, just look at her face.
      -This girl is beautiful, just listen to her personality.
      -everyone is beautiful in their own way.
      -beauty is rare.
      -beauty is only skin deep.
      -beauty is of the beholder.
      -beauty is what you see on the cover of a magazine.
      -beauty is not what you see on a cover of a magazine.

      Hearing all these things makes me confused on my own opinions.

        Forget them, and voice your own opinions.

  • You guys, I need help!
    It's killing me!
    I'm so confused anymore!
    One person says beauty comes
    from within, and another person
    says it's from the outside and only skin deep!
    Why can't people just make it less confusing and
    separate beauty from personality????

    Did you look in the dictionary?

    beauty can be found in the qualities on a person or a thing that bring pleasure to the senses or the mind.

    And here is a song to help you ponder.
