Is it normal that i feel this way about beauty?

I am absolutely disgusted about how some people use the term "Beauty!" Anymore I hear people telling each other they are Beautiful when they haven't even seen them! Someone told me I was Beautiful when he never saw me? I can't stand the way people are about Beauty these days, it's like if you have a good personality you are Beautiful! Everyone is Beautiful! Are you for real? I really don't need to hear that I am shallow, because one I've heard it; and two. I am actually a very nice person. I am just being extremely honest with this point! I strongly disagree that Beauty comes from within, because what is pretty? Well look it up in the dictionary for Pete's sake. I can guarantee Pretty isn't going to be defined as someone with a nice personality. I just looked it up myself, it's someone who is attractive or something that looks good to you. I don't need to be technical either. I know what the heck it means and I sure as well know that seven billion of us are not pretty! I think the term beauty is getting extremely overrated and messed up. If you want to be beautiful, get your hair done, do your makeup, dress nice, etc. And then maybe you will be pretty. Some people are naturally beautiful, not many but some are. I am just so sick of hearing that your personality makes you beautiful, because I know that deep down whoever the heck hears this knows crying out loud, that they are being lied to! Especially when one says true beauty comes from with in! AND PLEASE do not name call me, I am saying how I truly feel. Am I normal or do you not agree with me?

    I didn't really read that, I just want to know how you feel about the Beast.

    Opinions on what is physically attractive can and do differ from person to person, so what you don't find pretty or beautiful, others might find rather beautiful. To say that not all of us are beautiful is kind of an irrelevant argument cause for every person you find ugly, there will be someone who will find that person attractive so actually, everyone is ugly (to someone) and everyone is also beautiful (to someone else).

    People focus way too much on physical appearance, but I do kind of understand what you mean. To see somebody who is considered unnatractive in some sort of obvious way, for example they're morbidly obese, and then to try to convince everyone that they're beautiful inside, is bullshit.

    I know people who are fat, don't take pride in hair or clothing, and are indecent human beings. Sure, not everyone finds them ugly, but I'm not about to try convince myself or anyone else that "its okay, beauty comes from within" cause sometimes people are ugly inside and out.

    • That's true, I sort of get what you're saying. The only thing is I pretty much don't believe in a thing called inner beauty. Inner beauty didn't really seem to be known to me until like 2012. Ever since I heard of it, i wonder if anyone even cares about their appearance anymore. I feel like by the time it's 2020, people will go around filthy, not grooming, and talking about personality only.

    I'm irritated by the inflation of the term beauty.

    By the way, the verb "to love" is ridiculously inflated as well.

    Yes not everyone is our personal taste and yes we need some unattractive people for the beautiful people to stand out, but its not very nice or fair to call someone ugly and make them hate themselves! I wouldn't dream of crushing someone like that.

    I agree. It's funny how women will quickly assure ugly women that they are "beautiful people" and then nit-pick the details of way more attractive women.
    Telling ugly chicks they are beautiful or using "beautiful" synonymous with "nice" or "good" is NOT constructive. Choose your adjectives wisely.

    • So true! I see it all the time.
      Also, Overweight/unattractive people bash thin people.
      Not only thin, but pretty too. They say that thin
      people are fake and fat people are real. So my opinion
      on this is, fake is pretty, so is natural. But, overweight
      and not taking care of their appearance makes them unattractive. People call me fake for saying this, but
      I'm pretty sure they realize it's true no matter how fake
      they call me. Inner beauty is just a made up term to make
      unattractive people feel better about themselves. In my opinion inner beauty should only mean that you are pretty from the inside because you have confidence and take care of your
      appearance.

        Not all overweight people say that thin people are fake, size doesn't define a persons beauty in my opinion there is a lot of beautiful fat and thin people in this world! there is also a lot of uglyyy thin and fat people. Even people who try to take care of themselves can be ugly its more so their genes.

    I think beauty is using consistent capitalization rules and line breaks.

    I agree with you. We are changing the definition of beautiful to be more PC. Everybody gets a slice of cake and everybody gets to feel good even if they know it's fake deep down.
    People forget there is another saying out there--'Beauty is only skin deep'. I mean, if after getting to know someone better, you still want to refer to them as beautiful from a personality-level, go right ahead. It's not inherent though.
    That being said, all this hype HAS gotten me to question my level of 'inner beauty'...which boils down to, "Am I a good person or not?"

    • Thank you for agreeing! I was actually called shallow for saying this on another website yesterday! People were telling me that I am horrible person and that I'm only friends with pretty people, so I got quite offended considering the fact that most of my friends are very unattractive and I try my best to make them feel better about themselves without lying and saying they are beautiful. I never went up to someone and called them ugly but I surely won't lie and say someone is pretty if their not, you know what I mean? I do feel bad for unattractive people. I also feel like if someone is pretty they should flaunt it, rather then dealing with people who say they are shallow or mean! Because you are absolutely correct! Beauty is becoming computer generated!
