Serious question. Can anyone explain to me WHY the prettiest women are usually the most insecure?

One reason that comes to mind is that when you’re valued for your looks, you’re always left wondering if anyone actually likes you for who you are inside. Tough to develop good self esteem when that’s always in question. Celebrities probably go through the same thing, worshipped for an image people have rather than appreciated for who they really are. Makes it tough to trust and build relationships.

Because they have beauty, and it works for them..... they can end up relying on it.

The more you rely on something, the more important it becomes.

The more important something becomes, the greater the fear of losing it.

They had overly critical parents… not that I’m pretty, but with my mom telling me to suck my stomach in at all times so I never looked pregnant I just assume.

One possibility is they are just fishing for more compliments.

Judgmental individuals making blanket statements such as your question; while seemingly innocuous quite damaging to the psyche.

Because you have a certain percentage saying that you're pretty....have another percentage that are jealous and say you're ugly....and another percentage that insinuate that you have got to where you are in life by looks alone...

No wonder people get confused and insecure...

🤔

I disagree, I don't think most of them are insecure because of physical appearance. But let's share a few common issues gorgeous women have.

They're not as approached as regular beauty women because of fear of competition, inadequacy, insecurity etc.
They're usually VERY LONELY, not many women friendship because of female jealousy
They're aware that beauty is fading and it's a matter of time
They have so much pressure of being gorgeous (in the eye of many people) any tiny fault they will point it out (bc society sucks) and they feel it amplified on their skin.

I had a gorgeous friend that was always hyper aware how is she being perceived and always thinking "am I sweating, is my make up ok" etc. It's a mental feeling like you're on live stream in front of thousands of people.

Flips hair i have no idea

Their prettiness is always used as their main feature and therefore every interaction they have with people is about their beauty and they are not allowed the nurturing needed to build on self esteem and independence.

I'm not sure men realize how much of what is said to us women is entirely look-based and those interactions are completely conditional on how we look. Likely the more you are influenced by this....the more insecure or prone to jealosy you will end up being. It's important to be nurtured in a balanced way growing up...

Just like I've known some men feeling insecure when their value is based entirely on what other people think they can do for them or how much they earn, etc. it's very similar.

I considered myself as someone who has pretty privilege and the only thing that can make me feel insecure is peer pressure.

I'm not pretty and I'm insecure...

I’m not sure they are… According to who?

Is there any use of asking questions without knowing a person? I could give you many reasons that are not mutually exclusive to women that include those *sexy* men.

In my experience, there's no correlation. I met very pretty self-confident women and very insecure average looking women too.

But if you mean women who put extra care into their appearance, then yes, I noticed many of those look insecure and anxious. Probably why they do everything to look good in the first place and anxious about walking right in high heels, not tearing off fake lashes, smearing their make up or staining their pretty clothes.

Still, a very pretty woman can wear a bag and no make up and you'd still see that she's pretty.

Hard to say........
Also cos pretty don´t have an universal criteria.
But mainly cos the concept of "insecure" is so ambiguous that means almost nothing.

I have a completely different thought on them. The first thing I think when I see a beautiful woman is "I wonder what kind of evil is hiding inside her." Because I don't think they are insecure. I think they've learned exactly what kind of control they were born into.

Bc they never built their self esteem they just feed off of external validation which is very unstable considering how envious and threatened people are.

Might be they put the most effort into it. so its defensiveness?

Maybe they don’t realize they are pretty

They don't take the time to self reflect?

Most of them are not insecure.. What most do is fake insecurity to provoke a desired response and to have their ego boosted by people responding to their show of insecurity by telling them they are beautiful and a wonderful person...

Many woman are well versed in MANipulation..

I dont think that's true .....

Because outer besuty is irrelevant.

who knows and who cares, i don't.

Prettiest women are afraid of aging. And thus they go under knife for so many procedures. Ageing is inevitable. The more you try to hide it the more hideous you get.

A lot of times they’ve had to deal with bullying from other girls intent on taking them "down a peg" (because of their insecurity and envy).

My best guess would be is because they pick the prettiest photos from others to share in those posts, and then compare their daily looks with those.

For the same reasons some rich people are always afraid to lose their fortune.

That has not been my experience

You have to consider the fact that your taste in women isn't very good to believe that.

Though it's fairly common for some mids to think they're the luxe allure because women give in to a good butterup, truly high value and looking ones are super rare.

maybe because they lack the unwarranted self-esteem of the body positivity movement

I dont know, I keep away from very pretty women.
