Being said that friends who are dating us "do not choose the face"

❔ the real meaning is that we are not beautiful, right? ❔

There is a story that we are students who have to intern at this time in a place. In practice, there is a head of the department 🧓 whose words are not good, like to insult others. She will always say that she chooses to be a good-looking friend only. One day, when we are away, we talk to our close friends 👩🏻 about "Why do the two of us come together?" Our friends respond to blah.

And she said: 🧓 Show that she (our friend) doesn't choose to date the person who looks. Confused. ⚡ When I heard that, I was a fan and a lot of noi. It's been almost a month but it's still a knot. 🥺

... Read moreในฐานะที่เคยเจอสถานการณ์ที่ถูกวิจารณ์เรื่องการเลือกเพื่อนโดยเฉพาะเรื่องหน้าตา ฉันเข้าใจดีว่าคำพูดแบบนี้มันเป็นแผลในใจที่ลึกและทำให้รู้สึกไม่มีค่าอย่างไม่น่าเชื่อ คำว่า “ไม่เลือกคบคนที่หน้าตา” ถูกใช้ในแง่ลบเพื่อดูถูก ทำให้เราได้ตั้งคำถามกับตัวเองว่าทำไมถึงโดนมองแบบนั้น บางครั้งสังคมมีการตีความความงามในแบบของตัวเองซึ่งไม่เป็นธรรมเลย ทั้งที่ความสวยงามแท้จริงมาจากความเป็นตัวเองและการยอมรับในความแตกต่าง ระหว่างการฝึกงาน ฉันรู้สึกว่าความสามารถและนิสัยดีสำคัญกว่ารูปลักษณ์ภายนอกมาก เพราะเมื่อเวลาผ่านไป คนที่อยู่กับเรานานคือคนที่จริงใจและรู้จักเห็นคุณค่าภายในมากกว่าความงามชั่วคราว ถ้าเจอสถานการณ์คล้ายกัน ฉันแนะนำให้ลองพูดคุยกับเพื่อนหรือคนรอบข้างที่เราไว้ใจ เพื่อแบ่งปันความรู้สึกและปรับมุมมองตัวเองให้แข็งแรงขึ้น นอกจากนี้การมองหาแรงบันดาลใจจากเรื่องราวของคนที่โดนเหมือนกันและสามารถผ่านพ้นสิ่งเหล่านั้นได้ จะช่วยให้เราเข้าใจว่าเราไม่ได้โดดเดี่ยว และทุกคนมีคุณค่าในแบบของตัวเอง สุดท้ายอยากให้ทุกคนรู้ว่าความสัมพันธ์ที่ดีเกิดจากความจริงใจและการยอมรับซึ่งกันและกัน ไม่ใช่แค่ภายนอก หรือการตัดสินจากรูปลักษณ์เท่านั้น

Why You Keep Feeling Confused in Dating
Confusion doesn’t come out of nowhere. It starts small. A delayed reply. A change in tone. A shift in effort. And instead of addressing it, you adjust yourself. You overthink. You overextend. You overstay. Clarity isn’t harsh. It’s necessary. If it feels off, it probably is
