Being told you are beautiful, has lost it's meaning or affect, due to the exaggerated abundant use of it on social media. Everything and everyone is [i]not[/i] beautiful across the board. We all have strengths and weaknesses and that should be embraced and accepted aka the human condition.
In the end, you can't truly tell, unless you know them in the tangible world. We may be "real" here, but usually not what others think we are in their imaginations. [i]This[/i] is just facets/shadows, where as the tangible us, is full on full spectrum us.
It's all subjective.

@Magenta On here, a compliment of "you're beautiful" is of appearance and is simply skin deep. It is only when someone spends time getting to know you and discovers the beauty that is within that "You're beautiful" starts to have a much more substantial meaning. And lastly, true beauty always has very real flaws in it that merely add to the sum.
@JaggedLittlePill Like I said, it's more questions/situations, not all of them are "I'm ugly" variations, and one can appreciate when the motivation genuinely is boosting up the poster, although there are surely better ways than just calling them beautiful.
And yea, I certainly can't fault the attention fishing because to some degree that's what everybody is on social media for. But "beautiful" is the least sincere way to describe a selfie, and on the off chance the poster was looking for genuine feedback the most useless. Otherwise, do people just count the number of "beautiful"'s they get?

Everyone thinks you have to pretend everyone is beautiful. We aren’t. Just like everyone isn’t smart or athletic. We should accept the way we are and stop pretending it’s necessary to be beautiful or tell people they are when they aren’t. There are good things about everyone, beauty in the traditional sense doesn’t have to be one of them.

@SStarfish nope they can't
@DearAmbellina2113 you cant.. I can.. A person's personality effects their facial expressions fyi so you can tell a degree of their personality by one look at them in some cases

Exactly when I read “[i]you're beautiful [/i]
I appreciate their kind comment but I also think one day all of outside appearance will change, and one day our only beauty will be eternal from our soul.
You choose to take it with or leave it and only live a life of superficial bs
