i feel pretty but unpretty

this song resonates with me because don't we all have days when we look in the mirror and feel "i want to slap you because you look so hideous" and other times when you think "actually i don't look so bad..."

whenever someone comments "you're pretty", i feel so awkward.
a part of me feels like it's just a lie (i can't say i don't feel a little angry. you could have just not say it) yet it sounds good.
i'd rather people not comment.

in the past when we had to write all those discursive essays, one topic would always come up - pros and cons of cosmetic surgery. i d'no about you but i never did take all those "i love myself; i would never change anything about me" statements seriously.
if you had the chance minus any risks, wouldn't you take it?
i'm not going to lie and give a socially-accepted answer.
i would. i have thought about it.
watching the born this way episode where brit says "guess you don't love yourself as much as i love you.."
i suppose i don't love myself. i've always hated myself.
there's a tendency to trivialise what you've never gone through and don't understand.
nobody really understood how tough it was growing up.

life's cruel.
people can be cruel.
you think kids are innocent but they can also be mean.
when your self esteem has been hurt at a young age, you'll always feel inferior. you need constant reassurances to make you feel better. this might be something which people find obsessive and can't understand. when you look at a person, you have no idea of what they've been through.
