Is it normal to want to be catcalled?

(I don’t condone catcalling whatsoever) Let me explain. For all 18 years of my life ive never been catcalled once. Ive never really been called pretty or sexy or beautiful by a guy before. Ive never had a boyfriend either, no ones ever asked me on a date period. My self esteem is pretty low. I think i might want to be catcalled because i just want to feel beautiful/sexy for once in my life??? I feel like this is kinda unhealthy, and i really want to know yalls thoughts on it.

    For me I've been catcalled and it makes me feel like an object.. like walking meat.

    Please don't focus on that.

    Focus on meditation, exercise, eating healthy, and self love. It's more important than those trivial things. You just need to feel beautiful yourself. I don't know you but here's a virtual hug \(ツ)/♡

    You're beautiful and wonderful, give
    yourself more credit!

    A lot of people want attention so you're normal. But you not being catcalled doesn't mean that you're ugly. It may just be that you've never been around rude catcalling people.
    Like, I've never seen an alpaca. Does this means that alpacas hate me? Unlikely.

    It sounds to me like you just want someone to compliment you, and you don't really care about the circumstances behind the compliment.

    If there's someone you feel attracted to, perhaps you should ask them on a date. If he says yes, take it as a compliment equivalent to them asking you on a date. Some people are too shy to ask others on dates, even if they want to go on a date, so you should ask them on a date first, because they won't have the confidence to ask you.

    I'm sorry to say that I've experienced this as well. As disgusting as sexual harassment is, it's been very implicitly engrained into women's minds for centuries that they require the validation of a man to feel beautiful, especially in women with low self-esteem. Hell, I'm not even straight but I still feel the need for validation from men from time to time.

    I can relate and tell you with confidence that this mentality is really self-destructive. It could even make you a more susceptible target of emotional abuse if it goes too far. I recommend that you contact a professional about this.

    A compliment from a woman wouldn't work?

    I don't enjoy being catcalled, because to me it's sexual harassment.

    That can be arranged.
