realizing that people will like me for my strengths?

0

I’m lucky enough to be considered attractive by most people, but I just realized that I can’t imagine anyone liking me for anything besides for how I look. I know I have other strengths, but I don’t feel like anyone could like me for those. When I like someone, I usually try to dress sexier around them, basically to seduce them, instead of showing them the other good parts of me. I feel like I’m sort of a slut how can I get myself to realize that people could find other things to like about me?

Hey there friend! So firstly I'm glad that people find you visually very attractive and you seem to have a lot of self confidence in yourself which is wonderful. I feel a lot of people are very self-conscious sometimes and it hinders their ability to be happy with others and more importantly with themselves. But anyways to your question so in order to get people to notice your more positive inner points outside of your looks....I'd probably recommend maybe doing activities with whoever you like that highlight those inner points. So for example say you like a guy, but maybe you want him to see your artistic side in order to do that you can take him out on a date to a pottery shop that allows you to make your own crafts and paint them in order to show that side of yourself. Or if you want to show you're adventurous maybe take someone out to go hiking somewhere, paint ball, trampoline palace, or maybe like an indoor skydiving facility. It all really depends on what you want to showcase as well. And if you want to showcase personality traits then it's partially up to the person to see that you're more than just an object of sexual attraction in that they're able to initiate conversation with you, and get to see that you're more than just some eye candy. I mean part of it is yes what you want to showcase if the other person gives you a chance, and the other is just being yourself and seeing how people react outside of when the just see you. It's unfortunate because we live in a somewhat superficial world with how readily available social networking platforms like facebook, instagram, vine, tinder, and etc.... are because we see people now a days as almost objects rather than human beings, but that may be just my opinion to each their own. But yeah just find activities or topics of conversation that may get others to see what is beyond what their eyes can visualize and if they are willing to see more than your physical beauty then they deserve a chance to get closer or for them to at least be in maybe your circle of friends! Anyways I hope that you'll figure out what is best for you in being able to show that you're more than just meets the eye! Also one final note you don't need to spend money by the way to get someone to know you better it just depends on how creative you can get with what you want to showcase as I've said many times before! Take care and good luck! :)

@ireminisce thanks for your answer. About what you said about me being self-confident, it varies day by day. Sometimes I think I'm the hottest person in the world and other times I think I don't even look human. I guess that comes with being bipolar :-/

@beyondsuicidal no problem I mean we're not always going to feel like we're in our "best form" in a way all time the time so it's only natural! We're only human after all and experience all forms of happiness, sadness, confidence, and anxiety of sorts among other states of mind, but as long as you're taking care of yourself and doing what is best for you then that is all that matters :) we should all strive to do our best to make the best version of ourselves show strongly! I'm still in the process myself in trying to continually better myself and show people I'm more than meets the eye as well! So I'm sure it'll be fine with you too! :) I just hope you'll find happiness with yourself and will be able to share that with someone special in the future! :D
