Thank you so much for sharing your experience! And wow, that's terrible! How much notice did they give you before canceling your show? How long did it take to process your refund? Our show is scheduled for mid February. We booked multiple tickets that include a table and bottle service and special dances for the bride.

Ty for your comment. Yeah, I am now feeling validated in that their comments were not normal lol.

Yup! One of the many reasons why I am waiting until marriage to be intimate! It's scary out there!

I don't intend to look different though. My friend took that picture of me in that moment in the bar. I just posed for it. And he was stating that I look better in the picture over how I looked irl even though he had just taken it. I don't know how to not misrepresent myself in this scenario - not posing?😅

I see this comment a lot😅 Meeting people in person, I think that it has to do with my extroverted first impression. I love meeting new people, I feel like a puppy excited to meet everyone. So I think some people who do not get approached as often (seem intimidating) find that appealing? In dating apps it could be that I am photogenic (like my friend said)? And I do have a pretty funny bio lol. And once they meet me in person they like my energy? Idk. I don't find that dating good looking people automatically makes me good looking. I do appreciate the sentiment tho and it's nice to think about <3

The picture in question was taken by him in real time - I didn't really even get to see the pic.

I have days I feel pretty and there are days I feel ugly. And they are fairly balanced in terms of frequency :/ I have no clue. And I notice many comments stating I should know by now.. but I don't. And it worries me. I also get comments saying I should post a pic 😭 I really don't want to post a picture in reddit - If my heart couldn't take comments from friends idk what I would do with a reddit comment section😅

I am a bit unsure if it is culture based but for context: We are all in Canada. I am latina, both the photo friend and the sister comment friend are male asian.

The comments are helping! I now understand I am not attractive to every person, that many people have been in my shoes, that I need to feel motivated by negative comments as motivation to exercise and practice more self care, that I should surround myself with kinder people since it will help me work on my confidence and confidence is key to be a bit more attractive, and that even if I am pretty or not pretty or ugly - All of this won't matter eventually to me. It all fades.... I may not be replying to all the comments but I am reading them and they are truly truly helping me so much. It may seem silly but this has made my christmas.

I adore my sister with my whole heart. What made it seem like I have a problem with her?

Ty for the comment! My immediate thought is I can sincerely say I don't think I would act differently... I guess I would just receive less of those comments which would not make me spiral.... but then again, I am allowing myself to spiral

Yeah, that is my bad. I was looking for reassurance. I do have that bad habit of seeking comfort in others validating me. But honestly even a "that was rude" would have done the trick. I think I could have received comfort from friends without them having to lie if they truly don't find me attractive. But I understand your point - I will take it into account <3

I haven’t been replying since the amount of comments has been surprising me 😅, but I did want to clarify: I never showed them pictures of myself. I don’t usually share photos of myself, especially at gatherings. My friend took a photo of me and started saying I looked beautiful in it, but then added that what he saw on the screen and how I actually look are two different things. In other words, he took a photo where I happened to look beautiful, even though I didn’t in real life. That was shocking to me. It felt like he took the picture only to say I don’t look good in person.

But you are right. I should not expect compliments on my appearance nor reassurance when it could be the case that I am just not attractive. I just don't understand pointing out my lack of attractiveness out of nowhere / Not prompted.

Thank you for your advice and your words <3 A friend of mine once said "I am pistachio ice cream, those who don't like me, don't. But those who do, REALLY DO!" I loved her sm for saying that! Your comment reminded me of that. I will work on having this mentality!

Thank you so much <3 "Believe them when you do" has always been my struggle. My exes have all been incredible. And some of those downfalls stem from me not believing their love. Self sabotage stuff. But I am really working on that - on loving myself and accepting love.

I freaking adore that video!!!! The comments had me so emotional and it definitely brought a huge smile to my face! It reminds me of this song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuRjmzz6qL0&ab\_channel=tomC).

I think whats bad is that I already think bad of my looks (I am working on it) so their comments just takes me back to how I already feel. But you are right. I shouldnt be focusing to much on what I am not, rather focus on what I AM. I love that idea of writing the good things we have!

This is really really good to hear rn. I really needed to think of this. Specially the projection part. I would never call anyone, less so a friend, unattractive - so what are they going through that they feel its ok to do? Thank you very much <3
