What are you superficial about?

Thanks for your diplomacy.

I dont know, I just think it's easy for us to stand here and be like "oh go see a dentist, go see a dermatologist", when the majority of us had parents who were able to afford that. My teeth started out a little crooked - they're perfect now because my parents could afford to get me braces. Does that give me the right to say that EVERYONE should do that? No. I'm lucky. That doesn't make me better.

I guess my point is that maybe we should try to be a little sensitive to the readers out there who have these incurable problems. Can't we stick to the things like buying knock-off handbags? That one is funny, and it's a behavior that people can change. I think if you're going to judge people based on their appearance, judge on things you know for sure they are choosing for themselves. Like knock-off handbags, tatoos, and skanky clothes. Those are choices people actively make for themselves. You can't differentiate between people who are just too lazy to go see a dentist and people who can't afford it, or people who choose to keep their nasty whiteheads, and people who honestly have tried EVERYTHING and nothing helps.

Guess that's my superficial issue

ETA: Sorry to be so oversensitive. I just feel bad for the people who read this who may have these problems and get their feelings hurt.

I definitely agree with you.
