Is this strange? No compliments from other bw.…(this is kinda long)
Okay, I know this is going to seem silly to so many of you but it does bug me. Currently, I have been into my appearance; I have a chosen unique style for myself (think Skylar Marshai), I like flowers in my hair, make my own clothes & tend to lean towards a certain color palette for my complexion. My hair is usually out, like a braid out. I like chunky jewelry too. My make up is usually a bb cream/tinted moisturizer with blush and my eyebrows are ALWAYS in point! I draw them in because I have very thin bushy ones…..but they look VERY good. I considered take courses for eyebrows because the usually one out so nice (and people gave me compliments on them). Okay, so I compliment women now because I was too shy/quiet too before…I’m hetero and cis btw. and honestly where I live there are a lot of beautiful well established women. The thing I never get one back……like NEVER call me pretty or anything, I think I’m fine/gorgeous etc. but I mean it would be so nice to hear it from other bw that I am pretty too. 😬 I be feeling so left out of the culture…I never had anyone hype me up but my mom (who is actually my first bully) and ONE friend who turned out to be nuts. I wish I could share photos…like I stopped telling other women that because I felt like I was pouring from an empty cup! Is it wrong to feel this way?
