So last night I was out with a few good girlfriends. We had a few drinks and went dancing. I am the only 'taken' one in this group so most of the night was spent checking guys out. Anyway drama went down in the fact that two of my friends found one guy attractive and he was obviously into one of them and not the other which caused her to have a mini breakdown in the carpark.
We all ended up in a deep and meaningful right in the carpark and I was shocked at the revelations that came out. Here were 4 girls, of what would be called "normal" size who are all VERY pretty (and this is not just a friend being supportive, they are all very attractive) and all of them revealed how they hate themsevles, how they feel so fat and disgusting. They feel horrible about themselves, and when they go out they compare themselves to other women till they feel shit about themselves and then go home and cry.
Why does this happen? What is in this world that causes people to get so down on themselves, to the point where they want to die, and these are not even people who have clinical depression, or problems within their lives to get to this point?
Is it magazines? celebrities? Is it all women and i'm just not normal for feeling like this? Is it just women, or do men feel this way as well?
Is it just western women?
I just feel so sad, that such wonderful, sweet and gorgeous women can have such low selfesteem and feel so utterly despondant about themselves.
