God is truly fair; people are born, some say, either below or above average in physical appearance. But behind it all, they both have their own shortcomings and strengths. What are they like?
But before I begin, I want to apologize to the loyal readers of Iskrim threads if anyone feels offended or becomes more arrogant because the purpose of this writing is to encourage us to think together and realize that what we have now will all look ugly together when we are old and senile. So always do the best with the positive aspects of your strengths or weaknesses.
So let's get started,
Advantages of Being "Ugly":
Sincerity.
People who may be considered "ugly" physically are often seen as having the courage to live without relying too much on their physical appearance. They are more likely to be known for their personalities rather than their appearance.
Having Strong Character.
Because they are accustomed to facing social pressures or stereotypes based on their physical appearance, people considered "ugly" can develop strong characters and perseverance to achieve their goals.
Having a Deep Perspective.
Their life experiences may give them a deeper perspective on the values of life, true beauty, and empathy towards others. Their hearts are more sincere and kind.
More Independence.
Without relying on physical appearance, they may be more inclined to develop strong independence and remain unaffected by others' expectations or views, not easily distracted.
Focus on Skills and Talents.
People considered "ugly" tend to be self-aware and focus their attention on their skills and talents, which can lead to significant achievements in certain fields.
Self-Acceptance.
Through a long journey of self-acceptance, they may become emotionally stronger, mature faster in their thinking, self-awareness, and have solid self-confidence despite negative judgments from society.
Rich Personal Experiences.
Through their life experiences, they may have greater emotional depth, acceptance, and understanding of the values that are truly important in life.
Disadvantages of Being "Handsome or Pretty":
Vulnerability.
People considered "handsome or pretty" may tend to rely too much on their physical appearance, which can overlook the development of non-physical aspects of themselves.
Excessive Criticism from Others.
At times, people considered "handsome or pretty" may be subject to excessive criticism or treated superficially by others, which can affect their self-confidence, ultimately leading the handsome or pretty one to feel easily satisfied.
High Social Pressure.
Usually, the "handsome or pretty" ones have high social pressure to always maintain perfect physical appearance, which can eventually lead to stress and anxiety.
Acceptance Based on Appearance.
The handsome or pretty ones may only have a small circle of friends because they usually only want to socialize or be friends with those 'at their level' because if they 'hang out wrong' their handsomeness or prettiness seems to degrade. In fact, if the handsome or pretty one befriends anyone, they will become more prominent and popular.
Difficulty Finding Authentic Relationships.
In my opinion, handsome or pretty people may have difficulty finding relationships based on deeper things than just physical appearance.
Inability to Face Rejection.
Relying too much on physical appearance can make it difficult for someone to face rejection or criticism regarding their appearance. Being told there's a little wrinkle, a little overweight, or other criticisms can immediately make them panic to find any way to remove it as soon as possible.
Quick Satisfaction and Less Productivity.
Because the handsome or pretty ones are too confident, they usually feel satisfied with their appearance too quickly. They forget that there are still many positive things that can be done, which ultimately can hinder the development of other aspects of themselves such as intelligence, personality, and social relationships.
Now, if I can summarize from the points above, both have their own strengths and weaknesses, don't they? Now you know which one has more negative values, so for the handsome or pretty ones, don't be too confident because if you're not good at being grateful and using it positively, it will only harm you.
For the ugly ones, don't be too insecure because God has provided strong capital for strong and characterful self-development. So both of you should complement each other with positive things. Agreed?
