I have it bad. I know I am not the best looking thing ever but feel like it.
Not a day goes by when I do not hear a compliment about something with my appearance. Everything from "That is a cute top/let me see your nails/I like those shoes".
In a weird way, it almost gets annoying.
The worst though is i was with a gentleman the other night and he said something about how I was so beautiful and I slipped with "Well yeah I know" as a knee-jerk reaction. He seemed a bit shocked and said, "Did you really just say "I know"? I don't know how I BS'ed my way out of that one.
Here is also how bad it got - I used to date some lady and we did "sleep" together. When we were stripped down in bed, I was mentally comparing her not to other lovers but to myself. I thought, "I wish her legs and ass were as nice as mine..."
Is this level of self-love unhealthy? I know some folks like David lee Roth and Mariah Carey have it also.
