[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a very odd reaction from thinking of yourself as pretty or ugly.  People are uncomfortable with the idea that each of us has formed an opinion about our own features.

The difference between feeling ugly and not being able to cook is that you could learn to cook, and your looks and your feelings about your looks are something that are with you 24-7 in one way or another.  It's a bigger deal.

So, wondering.  what is the reaction if I told you that, in fact, I am pretty, but I am not smart, kind, or funny.  Wouldn't it sound like I have low self-esteem?   [/quote]

Not really. It sounds like an honest inventory. People can't be everything. You just learn to work with your strengths.

You learn to work around weaknesses, once you acknowledge they are there.  Hard-working and determined makes up for smart all the time. Learning to ask about other people and listen makes up for being funny, witty or entertaining. (People love to talk about themselves!) Learning to be patient and bite your tongue make up for a lack of natural kindness.

I am an ugly woman. The best I can manage is to be put together. I have other strengths. I am okay with that. [/quote]
