I honestly hate myself for still feeling this way at 23. Whenever I’m out, I always feel like the ugliest girl in the room, and it literally makes me feel completely worthless. It sucks watching how nicely everyone treats beautiful women. Nobody ever says anything mean to them. Guys are always looking out for them, and other girls always have their back. They get this pass in life that I’ve never had. No one has ever helped or protected me except my parents.I’ve learned to just rely on myself, because my parents won’t be around forever and nobody else gives a damn about me. Maybe this is how it should be.

    When I see a trophy wife I often think what a sad lonely place it must be.

    Never feeling enough and the anxiety of having to look good. Never having a true voice. A bird in a cage.

      What are you talking about?

      You realize many women aspire to be trophy wives, precisely because they don’t want to do anything other in life other than look good and play pretend?

      and generally, that’s what ‘life’ is for most people. most social relationships are performances.
