So I’m watching the episode where Jasmine is saying how insecure she feels about herself, and how she doesn’t view herself the way Gino does.

It absolutely floors me that she doesn’t know how gorgeous she looked pre cosmetic procedures. It got me thinking about my daughter’s who are so beautiful and don’t see what I see, and even myself until recently.

Gino did an amazing job of reassuring her, but I just think it’s so sad. Our society just damages women so much. In so many ways.

Jasmine is beautiful, and I hope she realizes it before she gets some botched procedure, or just ends up looking cartoonish.

Even if she was a troll, wasting $$ on cosmetic procedures never seems to fulfill these individuals. They need to learn to love themselves. It sounds cliche, but it’s so true.

Once you love yourself unconditionally, everything else kind of falls into place.

    I think it’s just not true? I don’t want to get too far down in this, but I think she always thought she was beautiful/hot but considers this plastic surgery as some form of showing off or something? I don’t really get it.

    I have a friend that says she’s so insecure all the time, but really she’s just fishing for compliments. She does the posts on insta that are selfies and a caption that are like “I look like shit today 🤪🫣” and then gets TONS of comments saying she is SO beautiful. It drives me up the wall.

      People who seek so much external validation are not happy, confident people. Women are constantly being told that their only value is in their appearance so the only way to know if you have value is through external validation. This is not a healthy way to live and trying to gauge your worth based on likes and comments is incredibly damaging.
