As a result, attractive individual often get powerful treatment in social media, academic and professionals settings. This can harm the people who feel insecure about thereself, these people can be unfairly judge.
In professional environment, lookism manifest in hiring people, promoting them, and giving them more opportunities. studies have shown that attractive people are more likely to be hired, earn high salaries and receive better performance, evaluation etc.
Lookism direct, exist in isolation. It give rise to discrimination such as racism, sexism, ageism and classism. For example beauty standards usually reflects eurocentric feature which has limited people thoughts to judge.
⏺ HOW CAN WE SKIP THE LOOP FOR LOOKISM:
People are forgetting their morals and their own value. They don't know who they truly are and started to live on the others opinion.
Let's understand this with an example: Let's say someone told you that you are hard working . you gonna take this as a compliment and start working more hard. This ends in a good way. Now, what act be the worst, someone say's that u are not good looking, your sense of dressing is authentic you need to improve; What did you do later you really think that you are unattractive and because of smeone else opinion, and at the end you are unattractive get fitted into your subconscious mind.
What we all are doing here, We are defining our self on the basis of others opinion, It's like we have given them the power to control us. we have loose our own nature.
How we can change this?
Firstly we need to find out about ourselves, What is your nature what are your thoughts, what are your belief,
Secondly we need to understand the concept for taking action ; we usually take action action without thinking and this can make the worst of all the outcome of our action. we take action judgemently , illogically.
Give a thought while taking action. Don't just take action just because you are in anger or emotionally controlled.
Thirdly we need to sets standards for ourself, standards means boundaries.
Let me tell you how I do this and to be honest I like this thing about my selves.
I just simply say to myself no one can harm me emotionally until I allow it. I give no one permission to play with my morals value, I allow to one to judge me because I have my own believe and my own faith, even if someone do so, I didn't take take them seriously, cause its fucking my choice to take their words or action to my innerself, and I don't allow anyone to go through my innerslef. By doing all this I protect my self, my belief and my nature.
It's very simple and you can do that to, believe me it gonna change you for who you really bare and give you own nature.
Fourthly you all need to understand the difference between ADVICE and TAUNTS. well these thing come to you with experience.
