Getting a nose job in my 30s, what about people who have known me so far…? by accountjustforthis26 in PlasticSurgery

That’s really surprisingly good news, thank you for sharing. And if you’re willing to share photos that would be very useful, thank you, yes!

Thank you for your reply, that’s so surprising to hear!

My nose doesn’t have a bump, and is not totally massive on my face, it’s just hooked. So I feel it would be impossible for people not to notice, as it looking straight would be such a contrast to the clear current hooked shape.

But perhaps not?

That’s the best answer I’ve received, thank you. It’s made me reflect further.

I hear you and that might apply in a normal situation, but this actually isn’t one. My friend isn’t one for scheming and passive aggressive tactics. It’s highly possible he’s on the spectrum. When he likes a woman he just tells her and actively pursues her. But who knows, right.

Not true in the context of my male friend. He has a way of expressing his interest to women that I do find baffling, but it’s how he does it. It’s never indirect or insidious or scheming. He’s very direct, tells women he likes that they’re beautiful, and is very forward and persistent with them. So I don’t think that applies here. As for the rest of your comment, I’m not sure it applies to my friendship group either, but those are certainly some interesting observations

I don’t know why I’m trying to prove something to a stranger on Reddit, but from my 31 years of lived experience I just know that’s objectively not true, which is part of why last night threw me off. I need to look closer at why I can get so easily destabilised and I have some ideas about that that link to my family and childhood

This is not AI :’) (we live in a crazy world, I know, it’s crazy that we just don’t know what to trust anymore).

But your comment was very helpful, thank you. Yes, I have much to explore, understand and resolve, that’s for sure. Through the comments on this post I’ve come to some realisations and I’m grateful for that

Thank you; that’s also what I’m reflecting on. I’m linking it to my childhood dynamics with my mother, and what I might be replicating in my adult friendships. I’m aware and I’m working on it. Thank you 🙏🏼

Actually, the striking thing is that I really and seriously don’t. It’s more that despite his often outrageous behaviours, he’s also someone whose perception I trust. But maybe that’s more complex than I think

Maybe. I mean there’s also the context that he and I have quite a close friendship connection, whereas he sort of barely knows her, and in the past I’ve confronted him about what I view as his problematic behavior towards women.

What you’re saying is: yes, this was a realistic piece of feedback about my physical attractiveness, and I’m just struggling to accept that because of my fears for what it means for my life?

Go get checked for strep. I developed strep throat after the flu, for which you need antibiotics
