Weight loss, appearance anxiety, and micro plastic surgery are no longer new things. The plastic surgery industry has also targeted young and beautiful people. More and more people in society have accepted the concept of plastic surgery. “Beauty is a scarce resource,” “the more beautiful, the higher the income,” “there are no ugly women, only lazy women.” Beauty has become a social group identity.
Being beautiful has advantages, and having a delicate appearance can convey signals of interpersonal interaction. People often like and accept those who like and accept themselves. Beautiful people can also enhance their sense of self-worth and gain more opportunities through a large amount of social recognition. Women need to be beautiful, have a good figure, and live delicately Combined with the hype in the beauty and plastic surgery industry, it has led to the absolute pursuit of beauty in today’s real life. It is understandable that it is a fashion trend, but when it becomes a standard to demand or even constrain women, it is a bit exaggerated. If a society only uses this aesthetic standard and pursuit to view women, it is even more biased. Overall, women at this time are still placed in a position of scrutiny. At a deeper level, women want to obtain love, attention, importance, and even change their position and social class through the beauty of their image – the underlying logic that love is conditional exists.
We are all born as human beings, possessing innate qualities, whether we love or be loved. But in a person’s childhood, only with good grades will parents be happy and like them; Girls who dress up beautifully will be praised by those around them; Only by performing well can mom be happy The accumulation and repetition of feelings over time make us increasingly dependent on the praise we receive. As one grows up, when faced with social pressure and work dissatisfaction, if interactive responses do not satisfy one’s feelings, they often return to familiar areas, whether it is weight loss, beauty, body shape, or fitness, they all belong to one level. Thus, the unmet need for feelings is transformed into an overcompensation of external behavior, further focusing on the parts of ‘I am not beautiful’ and ‘I am not good’, thereby neglecting the improvement of other aspects of one’s own abilities. Of course, it’s not the parents’ fault! Parents are also people who are guided by social norms.
Lastly, pursuing beauty and being loved is acceptable, but excessive extremism is not advocated. Love can be obtained conditionally or unconditionally, it’s not important, what’s important is that the part you feel determines your level of psychological development and the choices you make. There are also many contents, forms, and styles of beauty, and beauty can be defined by each individual in order to return to its rich connotations.
