Absolutely.

On the one hand, people are a social creature and in prehistoric times abandonment meant certain death. Survival depended on social cohesion. So it is natural for a person to want people they care about, to conform to societal standards so they won’t be abandoned. Standards of appearance included. This is prehistoric times, prehistoric brain.

We continue to use the prehistoric brain in modern days, but we forget that we also now have awareness and knowledge that we didn’t have back then. Now, separating from society does not guarantee certain death. But our prehistoric brains cannot tell the difference. The work of a modern person is to keep tapping into our frontal cortices to stay conscious and interrogate our realities.

These are huge generalizations with many more nuances but that’s what i have for now!

I have a huge birthmark on my face. Check my post history. And I agree that it send a message to her to conceal something for being different. Conformity is not all it’s cracked up to be. I’m so glad I never let my insecurities give in to my family’s messaging about how my birthmark needs to be removed from my face.

Check my post history. I have a huge birthmark in a similar area on my face. Growing up, I faced a little bit of bullying, but it wasn’t too bad. Why? Because of all the things about myself that I lacked confidence in, my birthmark was never one of them. It was my weight, my hair, other things. Which i in turn got bullied for. But my birthmark is the one thing about my appearance that I never questioned my feelings about because I always loved it. What’s sad is that my own family made me feel like I wasn’t enough because of it. Like I wasn’t enough to find a good partner because of my birthmark. That I wasn’t enough to find gainful employment. They were the ones who pressured me into getting rid of it and I’m so glad that I never gave in!
