Not accustomed to the strong feminine charm, how to alleviate facial anxiety? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

My appearance anxiety is not because I am low but because I am high. Because I am more concerned about beauty, I usually wear a little light makeup (eyeliner, lipstick, BB cream, etc.), and my clothing style is more unique and fashionable. Because I have been to many places, traveled to ten countries, twenty or thirty provinces and cities, and read a lot of books, plus I usually do yoga, my temperament is also relatively good. I have discovered that my body proportions are getting better and better, but with it comes a lot of attention and pursuit, which has greatly affected my work. However, I am a practical person who doesn't know how to take advantage of my good looks. I like to use my brain and am also afraid of becoming famous, so I dare not touch things like live streaming on the Internet. In fact, I have a good writing talent and can't help but write a little, but I am afraid that the opposite sex will misunderstand. I don't know how to refuse, and I am afraid of hurting other people's feelings. Moreover, my personality is actually more boyish, but now it has changed. I am more concerned about beauty. I used to have a lot of wives, but now my wives dare not call me husband because I am too feminine! I am also not used to being very feminine. People who chase me never stop, and even married men take the initiative to show their affection. I

I feel like I've lost a lot of happiness. How do I reject the advances of the opposite sex? How do I distinguish between friendship and love?

I empathize with your situation and understand that you are experiencing anxiety.

While other individuals may experience appearance anxiety due to dissatisfaction with their appearance, your situation is distinct. Your appearance anxiety stems from the fact that your striking appearance and formidable abilities have attracted significant attention from numerous individuals of the opposite sex, which has caused you distress.

Your question pertains to your discomfort with your current level of femininity and the associated appearance anxiety. I believe we can ascertain the underlying reasons for this discomfort.

Please describe how you are addressing these changes.

From your question, it is evident that your personality has undergone a transformation. This shift is significant to you and provides valuable insight into your current state of confusion.

Previously, you exhibited more tomboy-like characteristics, and your female friends frequently referred to you as "husband." However, this is no longer the case. Additionally, you perceive yourself as being overly feminine and are contemplating a return to your former tomboyish demeanor.

It would be beneficial for the questioner to consider the reasons behind this change. The individual in question has undergone a gradual transition from an initially boyish personality to a very feminine state. It would be valuable to understand their own perspective on this transformation.

Please describe the feelings and thoughts associated with your former self. Similarly, please describe the feelings and thoughts associated with your current state.

Please describe the circumstances that have led to this change. How do you feel about this change?

The pursuit of romantic relationships appears to be a significant source of distress for you. You seem to be experiencing difficulty in differentiating between friendship and romantic love. This distress is causing you to doubt your ability to handle the positive emotions associated with romantic attraction.

Please describe the state you expect to achieve in order to alleviate this distress.

Please describe your ideal state of being. Additionally, please provide your thoughts on how your appearance anxiety could be alleviated.

These questions are designed to encourage the individual to examine their own issues more closely and, hopefully, provide some assistance.

Best regards, Wishing you the best of luck!

Good morning, My name is Xintan Coach Feixiang, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your story with me.

I would like to begin by offering you a warm hug. I hope that this gesture will help to put you at ease. I have identified two issues that I believe are causing you concern. The first issue is that you do not accept your self-image. It is important to understand that everyone is used to measuring a person or thing with their own values and standards. This is judgment, and it is the belief behind everyone's actions. Everything has different perspectives, they are multifaceted, just like the "blind men and the elephant". The elephant looks like a city wall, a

As a woman, I admire your appearance, your fashion sense, your popularity, and most of all, your talent, despite your good looks. You have my full respect.

However, from the perspective of others, this is perceived as envy, which can lead to challenges. Let me extend a warm gesture of support and together we can identify the underlying issues.

From your written account, I have identified two key issues.

1. You have difficulty accepting your self-image.

It is human nature to evaluate individuals and situations based on one's own values and standards. This form of judgment drives our actions and decisions.

It is important to recognise that everything has different perspectives and is multifaceted. This is illustrated by the example of the blind men and the elephant. The elephant may appear to be a city wall, a big rope, or a pillar, but this is only a part of the elephant, not the whole.

To gain a full understanding of any given situation, it is essential to consider it from a variety of perspectives and dimensions. In this context, it is important to recognise that an individual's identity encompasses both their outward appearance and their inner capabilities. Denying either of these aspects is, in effect, denying the person themselves.

This concept is known as "self-worth." Self-worth can be defined as a subjective evaluation of oneself.

This is not a matter of other people or things. When we were young, our self-worth was often determined by our parents' evaluation of us.

Children who are frequently affirmed, praised, and recognized by their parents tend to exhibit a high sense of self-worth, confidence, and an ability to recognize, appreciate, and accept themselves.

Children who are often criticized, rejected, and blamed by their parents often develop a low sense of self-worth, sensitivity, and suspicion. They may also exhibit a tendency to be easily hurt and to reject and not accept themselves.

Confidence is the belief in one's abilities and the future. It is not necessary to seek external validation.

Your text contains several concerns, including worries about the attention of the opposite sex, the impact of appearance on work, the potential misinterpretation of your writing by the opposite sex, and the perceived decline in the attractiveness of femininity.

Your text contains several concerns, including worries about the attention of the opposite sex, the potential impact of appearance on work, the possibility of misinterpretation of your writing by the opposite sex, and the perceived decline in the attractiveness of femininity.

These behaviors indicate a lack of self-acceptance and self-confidence.

Love is an ability and also a source of power. Understanding emotions is an essential aspect of love.

Emotional fulfillment is a key aspect of the love process.

Happiness is derived from the simple pleasures in life, not from material wealth. By appreciating oneself and acknowledging one's needs, while maintaining independence (regardless of one's gender identity), one can achieve a state of inner wealth, which in turn attracts external wealth.

The following advice is offered for your consideration:

1. "Behind every action, there is a positive motive."

Context:

You are motivated to take action but are hesitant to do so. These behaviors have likely provided you with certain benefits. Given the ease with which behavior, thinking, and emotional patterns can be established, they will likely influence your relationships as well.

These patterns have served you well in the past, and that is the rationale behind your tendency to respond with avoidance or resistance when you encounter something similar.

It is possible to deliberately, intentionally, and deliberately break away from old patterns and experience the benefits of those deliberate, intentional, and deliberate changes.

It is important to remain aware of past patterns and to acknowledge them. Once this is done, it is beneficial to express gratitude, as this will lead to positive changes in your life.

Consequently, the optimal method for transformation is to "see." When you can discern these patterns, accept and be grateful, as they have previously facilitated your progress.

Context:

In lieu of resisting, criticizing, or even blaming, demonstrate your affection and it will make a new choice. Change can then occur in an effortless and organic manner.

To achieve new results, it is essential to take action based on what you observe.

Taking action based on observation can lead to the creation of new results.

2. Identifying the underlying needs associated with appearance-related anxiety

2. Identify the underlying needs associated with your appearance-related anxiety.

In order to achieve the desired outcome, it is essential to identify the underlying needs that are driving the anxiety.

Your various concerns actually contribute to feelings of anxiety.

Anxiety is an emotional response to potential future threats. A fear of the future can motivate us to take action, but a constant state of alertness can also deplete our energy.

To address anxiety, it is essential to return to the present moment. This involves refocusing on the here and now, as the present is where action can be taken.

In order to prevent this danger, you must ask yourself, "What can I do now to prevent this danger?" and then take action. It is important to remember that all anxiety is imagined by the brain.

It is important to live in the present and learn to enjoy it. The future is made up of each moment, so if you are relaxed and happy in the present, you will be happy in the future.

Appreciate the admiration and praise you receive from others, and celebrate the achievements that your talents bring you.

On the one hand, self-growth is achieved through learning, and while accepting oneself, one develops a high emotional quotient, good interpersonal skills, and a well-rounded life.

I hope these suggestions are helpful to you. Best regards, [Your name]

You are not used to being very feminine, which is totally normal! It could be because you don't identify with your own feminine identity, or because you have some kind of tomboy complex, or perhaps you are anxious about what others think of your appearance? Whatever the case,

We can all try to face it head on, and it'll be a great way to understand that anxiety is actually very common. You'll see what kind of appearance you really identify with, and you'll be able to be yourself!

Let your words and actions show the amazing places you've been, the incredible books you've read, the awesome sports you've played, the exciting things you've done with others, and all kinds of comments. In fact, they are all just passing clouds and floating clouds. Nothing can stop you from being your amazing, awesome self!

This is something you need to face up to. And since you like to use your brain, you should also think about your independence, so that you can be more determined about your own values and aesthetics, and not let yourself get caught up in the past or in other people's ideas.

The pursuit of other men makes you very uncomfortable, but this is the behavior of other people. If you like to dress up in a very attractive state, why not? There's no reason you can't enjoy dressing up and looking your best! Unless you yourself deeply approve of the image of a tomboy, and in addition, friendship does not involve physical attachment, and love requires admiration of the opposite sex. I recommend that you take the Rainbow Personality Psychological Test to understand yourself in depth. Good luck!

Brett Davis The act of forgiveness is an act of courage and compassion.

I can totally relate to feeling the pressure of attention when you're putting effort into your appearance. It's like, the more you polish yourself, the brighter you shine, but sometimes that light attracts moths you'd rather not have around. Maybe it's time to set some boundaries and be clear about what you're comfortable with. People will respect a firm no, even if they don't like it. As for telling the difference between friendship and love, it often comes down to the depth of the connection and how much both parties are willing to invest emotionally.

Bevis Davis Forgiveness is a way to make amends with our own hearts and move forward with grace.

It sounds like you've been on quite a journey, both physically and personally. The world has seen a lot of you, and in return, you've grown in ways that reflect your experiences. Perhaps it's time to channel all that growth into something that feels right for you, like writing. You could start a blog or a personal diary, where you express yourself without the worry of being misunderstood. And as for those who pursue you, a gentle but direct conversation might help them understand your boundaries. True friends will stick around no matter what.

Margo Anderson Life is a tapestry woven by the decisions we make.

The balance between embracing your femininity and staying true to your boyish side must be challenging. It seems like you're caught between two worlds, wanting to enjoy the beauty of being wellgroomed but also craving the simplicity of just being yourself. Maybe it's about finding a middle ground, where you can still feel confident in your style but also signal that you're not interested in romantic pursuits. Communication is key; letting people know your intentions can prevent misunderstandings and help preserve your peace of mind.
