why is everyone in this so attractive??

[@alexjjgreen]

confidence is beauty

[@rasha1a]

Be confident that you are, and you will be :v

[@Tristamus]

I believe that's part of the point. It seems like the meaning here is about a man who may like or love a girl but doesn't like the way she looks...as in, isn't really attracted to her. There's nothing she can really do about it, so it is hurting her.

[@ida.wendigo]

I want to like your comment, but the number 333 is a nice number...

[@peachespulaski5981]

Calum Larkin But what if you're just straight up ugly?

[@arteaplum7189]

I've always had a thing about my appearance (like, I hate my looks) so finding music like this makes me really happy because there actually aren't thaaat many songs about this kind of stuff or not being good enough for someone in this context

[@cptn_jptr]

I know that feel... I've always been kinda manly and all my couples have been like "y aren't u more femenine?". So fuck it, fuck 'em. Do as u wish, dress as u like

MoonKitten...Konnichiwa...You are very Kawaii...trust me...You are Awesome🍭🍨🍬🍦🍡🐼🐾🐾🐾

[@lenafromjemseg]

I feel like this is the reason I've only found someone else that I share desire with online. Anonymity is a curse when it comes to an online relationship, and just telling my now-boyfriend from Germany that I'm trans almost resulted in an emotional breakdown due to the fear and self-hatred it brings me. He was still expecting to see my face sometime, and it was difficult - not as difficult as before, mind you, but it's cringy. I look more between a hon and a non-binary individual than a woman... but he reminded me again, that what matters is who I am, not how I look. I might feel better if not for him mentioning an old partner he regrets leaving a year ago, a whole day before. It's just hard to think rationally sometimes, okay?

these lyrics are pretty biting for such a soft tune. they're relatable too, unfortunatley.

[@reynaldigustover]

My savior

[@nintend8232]

so basically roles are reversed and the girl uses male go-to logic. it's scary how different things seem when viewed through a different perspective. most arguing people do is due to everyone having different perspectives and frustration over the other not understanding what they feel. neither one is right or wrong, but it's easier to get frustrated or hateful than to realize that you might not ever have the words to explain certain feelings.
