    This is a devastating self report. People are more complicated than their bodies, but I guess being conventionally attractive is enough to be happy from your PoV.

      While I get what you’re saying, attractive people are treated better simply by being attractive.

      I said and implied nothing about my thoughts or feelings.

      People are more complicated than their bodies

      Thanks for stating the obvious.

      Nope. I never even mentioned happiness. This is a conversation about attraction. Self-esteem in this context means body-image.

        It absolutely is not, but you are reducing it to that. Read what OP is saying, she is looking for a relationship but is having trouble iniaiting. I mean come on, she calls herself beautiful, yet somehow you read shy as body image thing? That’s just looking skin deep.

          Literally the first 4 words of the post:

          I’m a beautiful woman.

          I’m not reading between the lines, I’m reading the words themselves. Don’t call me shallow just because I’m not trying to do SCUBA in a puddle.
