Honestly I kind of feel the same way. I'm not gonna lie, I don't like my appearance and I do feel validated on the rare occasions when guys tell me I'm cute, but... I wish I DIDN'T feel that way. Because in the end even if people make POSITIVE compliments on my appearance, they're still focusing on my appearance, and that just makes me more inclined to focus on my own appearance despite the fact that I will never look like the ideal of how I want to look and I don't want to use my time and energy by worrying about it... but I WILL worry about it, if that's what everyone else is focused on. I mean, I understand the "Everyone is beautiful" comments, because there are a lot of people out there who are devalued because of their appearance and the easiest way to comfort them is to tell them that they're not ugly... especially because, like, if someone is worried that they're ugly and their friends don't immediately rush to tell them they're not, it hurts... I'm not going to hate on anyone for spreading around those kinds of messages or for seeking them out as confidence-boosters... but I agree that in the end that kind of attitude is not as helpful as it would be to point out OTHER reasons besides appearance that people should be happy about themselves for.
