Why can't you see how beautiful you are?

I attempt to see the beauty in others, they are the mirror that reflects back to me. To see their beauty clearly is to see myself.

Many Blessings!

Semper, you ARE beautiful! Just look at the kind of heart you have! That is all that matters!

Myself? Well, it took me until I just about to turn 32 I was on the road to feeling beautiful. Before then, I almost always felt ugly enough to make sin look beautiful because I was constantly called ugly growing up, and the fact that people even in my adult life treated me invisible, and that also as an adult there were only three types of guys attracted to me: rapist, perverts, or women abusers. 99.9% of the nice guys have their nose up at me. Because I'm not pretty enough for them or something, they can't get passed how I look to see what I have to offer from the heart, and the thing is, physical looks fades but most the time the personality does not! All that should matter is the personality.

I can give HONEST testimonial that the guys in my teens, I had a few "not-so-nice" looking boyfriends, but they were MUCH sweeter than any guys who looked like and are total women magnets. The well-liked ones and popular with the ladies, they treated me like I was not worth their time. But that's ok, because in the end, I'M not worth their time because I'm too sweet for jerky bad boys! ( I don't want to come across as conceited).

I rather take a disfigured nice guy than a stud-looking bad boy. All it takes is for a person to act ugly, and that will MAKE them look ugly, but act nice enough, and even someone disfigured will look beautiful!

Why do you assume that the person doesn't see how beautiful they are ?

Inner beauty, outer physical beauty . . . The beauty might be one, the other or both. If that beauty is seen with soulful eyes that it's seen with modesty, appreciation, confidence, peacefulness.

The physical beauty . . . that comes and goes and over time and will shift and fade. Awareness of that brings appreciation to when a person does have physical beauty.

The inner beauty . . . that's ageless and appreciated by self and others.

I'm too busy looking at the beauty in other things/people =]

I can see the the beauty in myself and because of that I CAN see the beauty in others. It's not so much in their words or appearance but in the energy transmitted. : )

Because on cannot see on the inside, from the outside. Only others can see ones true inner beauty.

I surely don't look at my reflection anymore!

I don't know maybe because I don't feel it? Sometimes my friends call me pretty, one time a close friend wrote that I'm one of her prettiest friends shes had and I wonder if people see something I don't like my vision is impaired or something? but lately I don't care I've got bigger fish to fry! ;)

you do not have to see

you should know

if you know what i mean

I have never considered myself to be beautiful. Nor has anyone described me as such.
