"Don't Hate Me Cause I'm Beautiful" was a comment I made yesterday on my own Facebook status. It was an innocent and I thought humorous comment. But someone did not. They felt the need to inbox me that I wasn't all I thought I was and that I should take a better look at myself and not be so conceited. WOW! Obviously this person doesn't know me very well. True I am a confident woman, but not conceited. I am aware of my flaws and laugh about them instead of tearing myself down. I do have moments when I am hard on myself and the esteem drops lower than normal. I am human after all. But the people that really know me know that I'm down to earth about myself. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What makes me beautiful to myself may make me ugly to you, but that's your opinion and I'm ok with it. No one wants to hear me or anyone else whine nonstop about how much they suck and blah blah blah. I'm not fishing for any compliments, I can compliment myself. But when someone only talks about the negative in themselves it appears you are forcing others to find something good to say about them, find the good in yourself. At different points in time the bulk of my "friends" have called me beautiful or some other descriptive words, so I guess it must be true. I know the ultimate compliment from another woman is hatred, but get over it.
I too can go down that dark scary road of self hatred but I made a choice not to go there. I'm not ashamed of the fact that I love me some me! And you should learn to love you some you. But take the time to really know me before you insult me.
